1

American Gulf

Booked his ticket for this when much too strong for 12 rivals on his career debut at Windsor this month.

2

Andab

Accelerated clear to make a winning debut in a maiden. Always prominent when a solid third in a G3, also at the Curragh.

3

Ballistic Missile

Missed the break but finished strongly to win over 1000m at York. That experience and the move up to 1200m both positives.

4

Bone Marra

Inexperienced and outpaced early on his debut but then made rapid progress to win that all-weather maiden. Up in class and trip, and on to the grass.

5

Bourbon Blues

An outsider but the stable won this with an outsider last year. Improved from his first attempt to easily win a Brighton maiden.

6

Coppull

Won over 1000m at Leicester on only career start, and winners have since come out of that maiden. Stable won this in 2020.

7

Do Or Do Not

A modest debut was followed by a much better effort, only narrowly failing to win at York with first and second well ahead of the rest.

8

Gavoo

Improved from his first start when winning a maiden at Listowel this month, with first and second clear of the rest.

9

Gstaad

An expensive purchase whose half-brother was a 2yo G1 winner. He responded to jockey pressure to win a decent-looking Navan maiden last month.

10

Kolkata Knight

Justified favouritism on only start when leading throughout for an easy win at Hamilton. The second that day has won since.

11

Military Code

A leading fancy for this, having won both starts and latterly gained Ascot experience by leading throughout here. Up to 1200m now which should be a plus.

12

Postmodern

Created a very favourable impression when winning over this trip at Yarmouth on his only start, surging clear. This immediately became his target.

13

Power Blue

Best of three good efforts came when up to this trip and G3 company at the Curragh last month, a close second to a very talented winner. Chances.

14

Raakeb

Positive efforts on all three starts, latterly when up in class and to this trip finishing well into third at Epsom. May need even further to shine.

15

Rock On Thunder

An expensive purchase being a half-brother to some classy types. Too strong for 12 rivals when winning a 1200m Leicester maiden on his only start.

16

Shaatir

Improved from his first experience to lead throughout in a 1200m novices’ event at Lingfield this month. The stable have a good Royal Ascot record.

17

Super Soldier

Up to 1200m, having only narrowly failed to win his last two starts latterly in Listed company at Chantilly where he rallied bravely when headed.

18

Tadej

Got off the mark on his third and latest start when showing a good attitude – despite racing too freely – to score over this trip at York.

19

Tricky Tel

Has justified favouritism on both starts, latterly surviving a wide trip to win convincingly over this distance at Chester. Not very big, but fast.

20

Underwriter

A strong-looking colt who had little difficulty justifying favouritism on his only start, a 1200m Ayr maiden last month. The stable do well with Royal Ascot runners.

21

Warsaw

Made a very positive career start when well ahead of better fancied stable companions to win stylishly over 1000m at Navan this month.
