14/1

Made the breakthrough at group level when landing the Strensall Stakes at York in summer of 2020, keeping on well. Mid-field in the Bahrain Trophy in November of that year but missed all of 2021.

Majestic Dawn^b¹⁸⁸

11/4

Winner of 2020 Cambridgeshire and looked better than ever when landing a 1¼m Salisbury handicap (heavy) in good style during the autumn. Upped in class for reappearance.

Megallan²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 112

5/6

Smart colt who scored twice, including the Sovereign Stakes at Salisbury, last year. Type to make a better 4-y-o and didn't do a lot wrong behind a Group 1 performer in the Earl of Sefton on return.

Form: 12015-2

Solid Stone^p⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 112| D

4/1

Ended 2021 with a brace of small-field Group 3 wins at Windsor and Newbury. Well below that form in Group 3 Neom Turf Cup at King Abdulaziz in February but better expected this time.

Forecasts

Megallan (5/6), Al Aasy (2/1), Majestic Dawn (11/4), Solid Stone (4/1), Certain Lad (14/1)

MEGALLAN occupied the position he was entitled to fill on last month's reappearance at Newmarket behind a Group 1 performer and he looks primed to get off the mark for the season. Solid Stone is probably best of the rest.
