Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett| OR: 104| D

15/2

Useful sort having won twice at Listed level the latest of those wins coming in France in the summer. Did too much too soon when well beaten in a Newmarket Group 3 when last seen; 0-2 on the AW he's not well-in at the weights here.

Global Giant¹⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 104

8/13

Smart performer who has already finished second in a Group 3 AW contest at Dundalk winning at Listed level soon after over the same C&D. Lightly-raced last year (two starts) he now starts life with a top-class yard, very interesting, one to consider.

Pivoine^v⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 109

11/4

This smart performer ran in some top-class company last year with his one win coming in handicap company. Has won on the AW but disappointed on his last two starts on Polytrack, now makes his Tapeta debut with a visor back on; sound claims.

Arctic Sound²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 102

12/1

Progressive sort in 2018 who ended the year winning in Group 3 company at Newmarket. Failed to really match that sort of form last year including on the AW and ran well below-par on his last two starts; needs to bounce back over this longer trip.

Global Giant (8/13), Pivoine (11/4), Dolphin Vista (15/2), Arctic Sound (12/1)

Judged on official rating Pivoine is the one to support and this globetrotting sort deserves his position at the head of the market although he was rather disappointing in Bahrain last time out and this trip could be a little short than he’s used to. Dolphin Vista was successful in Listed company in France last year but looks to have a tough ask at the weights. Arctic Sound has to regain his best form that he showed in 2018 and although that’s not impossible he does have something to find here. The stable switch and previous AW form of GLOBAL GIANT make him a sporting selection in this he was below form last summer but it wouldn’t take much for John Gosden to rejuvenate him for this fascinat
