Weight: 9st 4lbs

Missed whole of 2024 but resumed in fine fettle early last year, winning a couple of valuable Group races at Meydan. It's been a struggle since, though, and was over 8 lengths behind Sweet William in Sagaro Stakes at Ascot 4 weeks ago.

Paradias (Ger)

Age: 7
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: -

Smart handicapper who has been a tremendous servant for connections and looked as good as ever when winning at Lingfield (1½m) in February. However, only fifth of 6 when running up to best in a sub-par Group 2 at Newmarket 4 weeks ago. Stamina to prove over this far.

Sweet William (Ire)

Age: 7
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: -

Very smart and consistent stayer who won this 2 years ago and was again a feature in the big cup races last season, winning the Doncaster Cup in September. As good as ever when narrow winner of Sagaro Stakes at Ascot on return and sure to make another bold bid under a penalty.

Better than ever currently but has a bit to find at this level and evidence suggests he's better on the all-weather.

Lazy Griff (Ger)

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 3lbs
Or: -

Placed behind Lambourn all 3 starts last season, notably when second in Derby and third in Irish Derby. Suffered a setback after and not seen since but very interesting to see how he fares in the staying ranks this year (shapes like a stayer).

Furthur (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 3lbs
Or: -

Runner-up in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot and showed a fine turn of foot when landing the Geoffrey Freer at Newbury last summer. Respectable fourth in Yorkshire Cup on return 2 weeks ago and stiffer test here will suit.

Timeform Verdict

FURTHUR was smart as a 3-y-o and could prove a force in cup races this year given how he shaped on his comeback at York. The consistent Sweet William is an obvious threat having defied a penalty in the Sagaro Stakes at Ascot on his reappearance, while Lazy Griff is a very interesting contender stepping up in distance on his belated return.

Betting Forecast

33/1 Dubai Future, 50/1 Paradias (Ger), 9/1 Epic Poet (Ire), 1/1 Sweet William (Ire), 50/1 Duke Of Oxford, 5/1 Lazy Griff (Ger), 11/2 Furthur (Ire)
