Maison Perrier Gordon Stakes (Group 3)

Highly tried after a winning debut but was runner-up in a pair of Group 2s at 2 yrs and finally got back on the scoresheet in a Group 3 at Leopardstown 2 weeks ago. Looks vulnerable under a penalty here, though.

Maiden/novice winner at 2 yrs and beaten only a neck by subsequent Group 1 winner Maltese Cross in Derby Trial at Lingfield on reappearance. Might have found the German Derby coming too soon after a gallant fourth in the Derby itself at Epsom, so he is well worth another chance back down in class.

From a smart US family and knuckled down well in a Cork maiden on reappearance. Took a big step forward when making a winning handicap bow in King George V at Royal Ascot (form franked by runner-up at Ascot on Friday) and looks ready for this step up in grade.

Progressive in handicaps, just failing to resume winning ways at Newmarket last time, though failed to land a blow when tried at this level at Royal Ascot on his penultimate start.

Progressive in defeat since his debut win, just edged out by Lost Boys in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (strong form). Given far too much to do behind same rival in Golden Gates at Royal Ascot (has since been gelded) and remains one to keep on the right side of.

Convincing winner of Curragh maiden on reappearance but his limitations have been exposed in better company since.

Finished second in the Fillies' Mile on her final juvenile start. Clearly developed physically prior to finishing a cracking third in the 1000 Guineas on return. Bang there on those efforts but failed to beat a rival in Oaks/Falmouth subsequently.
