The proven class act but he's by no means clear of the pack on 2023 or 2024 evidence

It's not hard to think that this lightly raced 4yo may be about to come into his own
8 (5)	Vauban Chestnut J:Colin Keane T:W P Mullins	J:Colin Keane T:W P Mullins	130	t	/110-2	114	129	115	34d	—	—	+13	24.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Stamina to prove but last year's runaway 1m6f handicap win here needs a deal of respect
6 (3)	Trawlerman Bay J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	130	h	0111-3	118	130	121	82d	—	—	+13	22.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Rallied for narrow win over Kyprios here (1m7f) last October; firmly in the mix
5 (9)	Sweet William Bay J:Robert Havlin T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Robert Havlin T:John & Thady Gosden	130	v	223-31	109	124	104	28d	—	—	+9	17	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Narrow win in a first-time visor latest; has a solid record but needs to find a bit extra
1 (10)	Coltrane Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	130	p	155-01	117	129	95	50d	—	—	+12	18.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Stalwart of the staying scene; good record at Ascot includes a 2nd in this race last year
10 (7)	Caius Chorister Bay J:Benoit De La Sayette T:David Menuisier	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:David Menuisier	127	—	231-22	109	127	107	28d	—	—	+12	16	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Little between her, Coltrane and Sweet William at level weights in 2024; now receives 3lb
4 (6)	Prydwen Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	130	—	1-5211	108	123	-	53d	—	—	+20	22	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Surged to new heights over 2m on AW on last three outings; aiming high in first Group race
2 (1)	Enemy Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:Ian Williams	J:Richard Kingscote T:Ian Williams	130	t	-21275	110	124	96	42d	—	—	+21	21.8	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Sustained creditable spell this winter before tailed off at Chester; seeks first Group win
NR (4)	Trueshan Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Alan King	J:Hollie Doyle T:Alan King	130	—	114-43	114	127	103	28d	—	—	—	16	—	—
Top-class stayer but below par this term; ideally needs ground softer than good
