2 (3)	Auguste Rodin Brown J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	128	—	011-02	123	137	116	24d	—	—	-6	29.7	0.38/1	6/4 40%
Has an impressive array of top-flight wins, but punctuated by some absolute shockers
10 (10)	Inspiral Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Kieran Shoemark T:John & Thady Gosden	125	—	5111-4	120	138	125	32d	—	—	+5	22.5	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Last-gasp win at Breeders' Cup last November on her only go at 1m2f; below-form return
4 (7)	Horizon Dore Bay J:Mickael Barzalona T:P Cottier	J:Mickael Barzalona T:P Cottier	128	—	0-4252	118	134	102	24d	—	—	+11	19.5	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Usually held up and has fine turn of foot; move away from soft/heavy ground may well help
1 (2)	Alflaila Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Owen Burrows	J:Jim Crowley T:Owen Burrows	128	—	11/15-	118	135	115	284d	—	—	+10	19.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
About 3l fifth of 8 to Auguste Rodin in Irish Champion Stakes, running on well from last
9 (4)	Blue Rose Cen Bay J:Christophe Soumillon T:Maurizio Guarnieri	J:Christophe Soumillon T:Maurizio Guarnieri	125	—	1451-5	116	133	119	24d	—	—	+10	18.9	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Four Group 1 wins, last two over about 1m2f; not disgraced behind Horizon Dore on return
5 (5)	Lord North Bay J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	128	—	11-283	116	134	95	54d	—	—	+11	18.6	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Won this 2020; close in Group 2 latest but, as 8yo, probably no longer up to winning this
6 (1)	Royal Rhyme Bay J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	128	t	0115-1	113	130	113	27d	—	—	+22	27.1	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Needs improvement but while most form has been progressive, that's on softer than good
8 (8)	Zarakem Bay J:Maxime Guyon T:J Reynier	J:Maxime Guyon T:J Reynier	128	—	116-18	116	130	90	52d	—	—	+15	17.1	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Career best when winning a Group 2 at Longchamp (1m2f, heavy), too strong for Horizon Dore
3 (6)	Hans Andersen Bay J:Wayne Lordan T:A P O'Brien	J:Wayne Lordan T:A P O'Brien	128	—	80-156	103	119	92	24d	—	—	+13	13.5	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Set pace when well beaten at 33-1 in Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh last time
7 (9)	Snobbish Bay J:Fabien Lefebvre T:Maurizio Guarnieri	J:Fabien Lefebvre T:Maurizio Guarnieri	128	—	21-79	-	106	53	33d	—	—	-1	0.2	50.00/1	200/1 0%
This hugely stiff task for fifth race may be to assist pace for stablemate Blue Rose Cen
