Lake Como90
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: G Boughey| OR:  89| D
€130,000 yearling. St Mark's Basilica colt has proved a revelation for new yard (purchased for 16,000 gns following debut for Aidan O'Brien), improving to land a double on handicap debut at Southwell in December. Has more on at the weights here but further progress cannot be ruled out.

€62,000 foal, €75,000 yearling, €170,000 2-y-o. Sioux Nation gelding. Dam twice-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Space Traveller. Made winning start over C&D (awarded race after first past post weighed in light), pulling clear of the remainder in good style, and he looks sure to improve.

Sea The Stars colt. Dam, winner up to 1m1f (2-y-o 7f winner), won Prix Chloe, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Cutlass Bay. Won in taking fashion on C&D debut in December and held in high regard (entered in 2000 Guineas and Derby) by top connections. Looks the type to improve markedly.

Sin City35
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: D Egan| T: K P De Foy| D
200,000 gns Too Darn Hot colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 6f-9.7f winner Excel Power. Clearly knew his job when justifying strong support on Lingfield debut, but he's well drawn and sure to progress.

Archer Royal168
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Tyler Heard| T: J & T Gosden| OR:  99
340,000 gns Blue Point colt showed a sharp turn of foot to win on Chelmsford debut and though improved third in Group 3 at Newmarket subsequently, he again looked unsuited by the track in the Autumn Stakes there last time. Could prove a different proposition on first start since being gelded.

He's Waliim168
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J Tate| OR:  91| BF
Son of Too Darn Hot (75,000 gns yearling) improved on debut success when pushing a progressive one close over C&D but was too free to do himself justice on nursery debut at York in October. Looks the type that'll benefit from a gelding operation, and needs considering on his best form.

Lord Britaint182
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Paddy Bradley| T: I Mohammed| OR:  84| C
Well placed when winning over 7f here on second career start, and while he backed that up with subsequent third over same C&D, he seemingly had his limitations exposed in Group 2 Royal Lodge at Newmarket later in September.

Rochfortbridge154
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: A Keatley| OR:  99
100,000 gns Mehmas colt finished useful runner-up in listed race at Pontefract but found quick turnaround/marked step up in class against him when well held fourth of 5 in Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster in October. Ought to be more competitive with sights lowered.

Sunset On Leros160
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Botti| OR:  99
10,000 gns foal, 42,000 gns yearling. Almanzor colt went the right way as a juvenile, coming from further back than the pair that beat him when third in Milan Group 3 last October, and he's entitled to be in the mix on that form.

Forecasts

King's Trail (2/1), Archer Royal (9/2), Sin City (5/1), Rochfortbridge (6/1), Conclave (8/1), Lake Como (12/1), Sunset On Leros (12/1), He's Waliim (14/1), Lord Britain (33/1)

Verdict

Charlie Appleby won this race in 2024 with Notable Speech and while KING'S TRAIL has a way to go to reach those heights, it was hard not to be impressed by his debut C&D success in December. It's unlikely we've seen the best of Godolphin's Archer Royal either, while He's Walim could bounce back on first start since being gelded.
