Season
King Edward VII Stakes - Form Comments
| 1 | Dubai Mile | A 2000m G1 winner last year, but has twice failed to live up to some lofty expectations this year. The way he faded over this trip in the Epsom Derby last time is a worry but the trainer remains confident. |
| 2 | Arrest | His near miss in a Saint-Cloud G1 in 2022 and stylish victory in a Chester G3 in May grew his reputation that was subsequently dented in Epsom’s Derby. That track and fast surface didn’t suit. |
| 3 | Artistic Star | Unbeaten in two minor events before an ambitious bid for Epsom Derby glory, losing his position at a crucial stage before making late headway. This more conventional track could suit much better. |
| 4 | Continuous | Came into 2023 with high expectations after winning both 2022 starts including a G3. A good third in a G2 on his return was followed by a moderate G1 effort in France. Perhaps the rise in trip will help. |
| 5 | King Of Steel | Unconsidered for the Derby at Epsom, but when he threaded his way through rivals and got to lead he looked the likely winner until Auguste Rodin accelerated past. Big chance on that evidence. |
| 6 | Relentless Voyager | Although his profile does not immediately scream Royal Ascot success, he has made race by race progress including when a close third in the G2 Italian Derby last month. No trip worries. |
