St James's Palace Stakes

Won the Coventry on this card 12 months ago, then subsequent 2yo form included good efforts in the Vintage Stakes and the Dewhurst; ran well (fifth of 15) in the 2,000 Guineas on reappearance but was 5l behind Coroebus; needs improvement if he's to gain further Royal Ascot honours.

Third in the Greenham at Newbury two months ago, doing enough to think he's trained on following a busy and productive 2yo campaign; 4-4 on ground softer than good, including two Group 1 wins (7f/1m) in France last October; just 1-5 on good/firmer and could have done with rain.

Smart colt who won the July Stakes and Gimcrack last season, then finished second in the Greenham on reappearance; speedily bred but ran creditably upped to 1m in the 2,000 Guineas, keeping on for sixth place, and that form can be marked up (met trouble); could go well again.

Made a winning debut in March, runner-up in Listed grade next time, then finished fourth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas; has progressive RPRs but he's not in the same league as Jim Bolger's two winners of this event, namely Dawn Approach (2013) and Poetic Flare (2021).

Solid 2yo campaign included a success in the Champagne Stakes and placed efforts in the Dewhurst and Futurity; form dipped in French 2,000 Guineas last month, albeit a wide trip didn't help; very useful colt but, unlike some of these rivals, has possibly already reached his peak rating.

Hugely progressive in four races over 1m on good/firmer at Newmarket and should be unbeaten as he was unfortunate not to win the Royal Lodge on second occasion (collared late on having kicked too soon); enhanced his growing reputation in the 2,000 Guineas on reappearance, making good headway to lead over 1f out then driven out to beat stablemate Native Trail who is unbeaten otherwise and has since won the Irish equivalent; leading claims.

Ballydoyle colt who scored narrowly at Listowel on second 2yo start, then finished fourth in Group 3 at Newmarket (behind Coroebus) and Group 1 at Saint-Cloud (behind Angel Bleu); well down this pack on ratings but could easily rate higher in 2022; reappearance run for this son of Galileo.

Impressive at Yarmouth (good) on 2yo debut then followed up in the Horris Hill at Newbury (soft); only ninth of 15 in the 2,000 Guineas but was by no means discredited on the figures and shaped promisingly in making late headway down the outside flank; remains capable of better still.

Outran his 40-1 odds in the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh (good to yielding) last time, finishing second to odds-on Native Trail who was the silver medallist behind Coroebus in the English version three weeks earlier; has place possibilities if he backs up that apparent improvement.

Listed winner at Newcastle on Good Friday, taking record to 2-2 (both AW wins); beat only one rival in the 2,000 Guineas later in April, however, suggesting he's nowhere near Group 1 standard and/or isn't going to be as effective on turf; enough to prove.

Outstayed over 1m2f on reappearance then showed useful form dropped back to 1m last month, readily winning at Newmarket then close second in notable handicap at Haydock where in hindsight he hit the front a bit too soon; raced only on good ground; open to further improvement.

Fast-improving colt who showed smart form in the Listed Heron Stakes at Sandown (1m, good to firm) last month, beating Solario winner Reach For The Moon (pair clear) and following up his Newbury reappearance success; has raced only three times and should have plenty more to offer; respected.

Similar type to stablemate My Prospero, as a thrice-raced colt who is progressing well; overcame a tardy start in the German 2,000 Guineas at Cologne (1m, good) most recently, leading in the final half-furlong and maintaining his unbeaten record; developing fast, having made debut only in March; attractive profile.
