Consistent in Meydan this year; progressive on British soil and he's 2-3 at this venue

Three from three in his first season last year; looks a potential Listed/Group performer
8 (4)	Reach For The Moon Bay J:Frankie Dettori T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Frankie Dettori T:John & Thady Gosden	128	b	2/226-	110	127	98	178d	—	—	+11	21.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
One-time Derby hope; has clear possibilities if taking well to first-time blinkers

Remains to be seen whether he can transfer latest Meydan performance back to British soil
7 (1)	Raadobarg Bay J:Kevin Stott T:George Boughey	J:Kevin Stott T:George Boughey	128	t	44558-	107	125	84	185d	—	—	+7	17.1	2.25/1	10 10%
Has made a winning reappearance for the last two seasons; interesting; stable debut

Failed to build on his Derby effort but a gelding operation may bring him on this year
3 (7)	Intellogent Chestnut J:David Egan T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	J:David Egan T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	128	—	23707-	106	128	113	192d	—	—	+14	16.8	9.75/1	40 3%
