Art Power³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: T D Easterby| OR: 114| BF| C| D

7/2

Signed off 2020 with good runs in the Sprint Cup at Haydock and Champions Sprint but too free when only sixth to Starman in the Duke of York Stakes on return last month and needs to raise his game.

Form: 11644-6

Dream Of Dreams³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 120| BF| D

3/1

Second in this race in 2019 and again arrived too late on the scene when filling the same position 12 months ago. Proved well-being with easy win in Windsor listed contest last month so solid claims.

Form: 0/2118-1

(1)

Garrus³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: C Hills| OR: 108| D

66/1

Smart sprinter who arrives on the back of a good second to Dream of Dreams in Windsor listed event last time, but he was getting 7 lb from the winner, so he has his work cut out on level terms now.

Form: 30/1242

Glen Shiel²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 117| BF| CD

7/1

Progressed well when winning five times in 2020, including in Champions Sprint over C&D. Left impression would come on for his return at the Curragh last month, but others hold more appealing claims.

Form: 21121-4

(7)

Happy Power³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 113| D

20/1

Ended 2020 with a below-par effort in the Champions Sprint. Should be suited by this drop in trip (has been well beaten by Palace Pier on both starts at 1m this season) but others look stronger.

Form: 1119-35

(11)

Nahaarr³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 115| BF| D

7/2

Landed a gamble when winning Ayr Gold Cup last autumn and looked a high-class sprinter on return when beaten a neck by Starman in the Duke of York Stakes. Has more to offer and high on the shortlist.

Form: 3191-42

(5)

Namos²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: D Moser| OR: 109| D

40/1

Very useful German sprinter who produced a career best when third in a Group 3 at Longchamp last month. This demands a lot more, however.

Form: 8416-53

(14)

Royal Commando⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 109| D

28/1

Recorded a career-best effort when making a winning return in a listed event at Doncaster in March (by one and three quarter lengths from Emaraaty Ana), but he now needs to prove he can build on it.

Form: 8/4577-1

(10)

Summerghand^v³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 110| D

28/1

Already a dual winner in 2021 in AW Sprint Championships at Lingfield and Abernant Stakes at Newmarket. Ran respectably when fourth to Starman in the Duke of York Stakes last time but more needed.

Form: 324114

(12)

Ventura Rebel^p³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 108| C| D

22/1

Thrown in at the deep end but ran with credit when fifth to Starman in the Duke of York Stakes, especially as he ended up away from where the main action unfolded. Goes well here, and no forlorn hope.

Form: 35561-5

(9)

Final Song³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 107| C| D

28/1

Won Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint at Meydan in March and second in Al Quoz Sprint on her next start. Failed to translate that form back to these shores in Duke Of York Stakes though. Others preferred.

Form: 0-62129

(4)

Sonaiyla^t,v¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 108| D

9/1

Gained first pattern success in the Ballyogan Stakes at the Curragh earlier this month, knuckling down well after a slow start. Can’t knock her attitude, but much more needed to follow up here.

Form: 1230-31

Forecasts

Dream Of Dreams (3/1), Art Power (7/2), Nahaarr (7/2), Starman (9/2), Glen Shiel (7/1), Sonaiyla (9/1), Happy Power (20/1), Ventura Rebel (22/1), Royal Commando (28/1), Summerghand (28/1), Final Song (28/1), Emaraaty Ana (33/1), Namos (40/1), Garrus (66/1)

The market principals look the ones to focus on in this cracking Group 1 sprint. STARMAN is the least exposed and has the potential to dominate this division so rates a confident selection to build on his Duke of York Stakes victory and gain his most prestigious success yet. Dream of Dreams could be set to play second fiddle for a third time, with Nahaarr sure to be in the mix again too.
