Smart colt. Blinkered first time, career best when winning 6-runner listed race at Leopardstown (9f, good) 12 days ago by 3¾ lengths from Georgeville. Penalty demands a bit more but he arrives at the top of his game.

Smart operator who landed a listed event at Meydan in January. Below par when remote fourth of 5 in Brigadier Gerard at Sandown on British return but his regular cheekpieces return now. Probably vulnerable.

Smart performer at 2 yrs. Lightly raced since but 1m course listed win on reappearance in April shows he retains his ability. Down the field in Lockinge at Newbury since, though. Up in trip.

Smart gelding. Winner of listed at Meydan in January. Creditable short-head second of 12 to Royal Fleet in Group 3 there in February. Off since. Also placed at pattern level in Britain last year but his wide draw could make life awkward.

Group 3 winner in 2020. Off 18 months, showed that he retains plenty of ability when 3 lengths second of 4 to Solid Stone in Huxley at Chester (10.3f, good) 39 days ago. Ought to be competitive.

Won C&D handicap at last year's Royal meeting and also bagged a Haydock Group 3 in August. Creditable second to Mostahdaf (Juan Elcano third) in Gordon Richards at Sandown on reappearance. Seemingly failed to stay 1½m when fourth at Newbury since. Wide draw to overcome but leading form claims.

Smart performer who was a good 1¾ lengths fourth of 14 to Authority in Group 3 in Saudi Arabia in February. Not up to Dubai Turf since but he's a contender on the Saudi form. Handily drawn in 4.

Won this race on his second start of last season. Finished 1½ lengths behind Foxes Tales when last of 3 on his Sandown reappearance but every chance he's been primed for this again. On the shortlist.

Useful performer. 5/1, bit below form 8 lengths fourth of 9 to Majestic Dawn in listed race at Goodwood 24 days ago. First-time cheekpieces will need to spark improvement.

Smart effort to win Lingfield handicap in January and predictably wasn't up to the Coronation Cup on sole start since. This a bit more realistic but he'll be vulnerable again. Well beaten in this last year.

Landed the Britannia at last year's Royal meeting and generally in good form later in 2021, seeming to prove his stamina for this trip when fourth in Goodwood listed in September. Been off for 8 months.

Smart gelding. Best effort of 2021 when nose second of 8 to Dubai Warrior in listed race at Lingfield (AW) in December. Third in this race on his 2020 reappearance. Yet another who could have a say.

Progressed well at 3, including second in King Edward at this meeting and third in Deauville Group 3 in August. Gelded ahead of reappearance. Likely to play a prominent role if he's primed for this first start since August.

Forecasts

Cadillac (11/2), Foxes Tales (6/1), Juan Elcano (7/1), Majestic Dawn (8/1), Regal Reality (17/2), Star Safari (9/1), West End Charmer (10/1), Tasman Bay (11/1), Harrovian (14/1), Aristia (14/1), New Mandate (14/1), Certain Lad (18/1), Dubai Future (20/1), Movin Time (22/1), Perotto (25/1), Palavecino (100/1)

Verdict

This looks very open. FOXES TALES was able to negotiate a wide stall when landing a C&D handicap at this meeting in 2021 so he's chanced despite being drawn in 16. He seemingly didn't quite stay 1½m at Newbury last time and had finished in front of last year's winner Juan Elcano, who should go well again, when a creditable second on his reappearance at Sandown. Harrovian and the reappearing Tasman Bay are others to consider.
