Alparslan (C)
Has met with defeat just once (when sixth in the Dewhurst) and took another step forward when landing the Greenham at Newbury on return, plenty going his way from the front. Isn't sure to stay 1m.

Bamako Beach (C)
Showed plenty when just denied in maidens at Naas and Gowran 8 months apart but he's firmly up against it in this company.

Easy winner of a Group 3 at Newmarket in September and similar form when third in Dewhurst there following month. Decent third in 2000 Guineas on return but has 8 lengths to find with Gstaad. Headgea…

Go Just Do It (C)
Showed plenty all 3 starts last season and didn't have to improve to land the odds in Gowran maiden on return. This is a big ask, though.

Impressive winner of Coventry at Royal Ascot. Runner-up in Group 1s over 6f/7f on next 3 starts before going one better in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar. Returned with an excellent second (w…

Much improved when off the mark in a Naas novice on final 2-y-o start and had little trouble landing the odds at Gowran in April. Limitations rather exposed in better company either side of that, how…

Consistent rather than progressive and failed to land the odds in 4-runner event at Goodwood 3 weeks ago. Plenty to find at this level.

Power Blue (C)
Smart form to win the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh (6f) last summer. However, that remains a standout effort and doubts remain whether he's fully effective at 1m.

Won maiden at Gowran Park In September. Best effort since when fifth in listed race over C&D last time, denied a clear run. Huge leap forward is required with a tongue strap now applied.

Free-going sort who reappeared to win a Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f) by 2½ lengths from re-opposing Power Blue. Did well to finish where he did given how hard he pulled in the 2000 Guineas at Newmark…
