10 (10)	Rosallion Bay J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	128	—	/211-3	122	136	126	31d	—	—	+5	27.7	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Record of 2-2 at Ascot includes a win in the 2024 St James's Palace Stakes; respected
8 (6)	Notable Speech Chestnut J:William Buick T:Charlie Appleby	J:William Buick T:Charlie Appleby	128	—	7153-4	122	136	115	31d	—	—	+7	22.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Closely matched with Rosallion; set for another engrossing clash with that opponent
7 (3)	Lead Artist Bay J:Colin Keane T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Colin Keane T:John & Thady Gosden	128	—	212-81	120	135	104	31d	—	—	+8	21.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Rallied gamely to win the Lockinge and further Group 1 success is plausible; progressive
3 (2)	Dancing Gemini Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:Roger Teal	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Roger Teal	128	—	54-112	119	134	116	31d	—	—	+9	20.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Has rapidly developed into a leading miler this term; second in the Lockinge last time
2 (8)	Carl Spackler Chestnut J:James McDonald T:Ciaron Maher	J:James McDonald T:Ciaron Maher	128	—	1116-1	117	136	-	67d	—	—	+19	29.8	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Progressive in USA; 3-4 since upped to Grade 1 level; makes debut for Australian yard
4 (1)	Diego Velazquez Bay J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	128	—	48011-	119	130	103	276d	—	—	+29	36.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Potential threat in the 1m division this term; makes reappearance; heed the market signals
5 (5)	Docklands Bay J:Mark Zahra T:Harry Eustace	J:Mark Zahra T:Harry Eustace	128	t	560-23	114	130	109	10d	—	—	+11	17.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Record of 113222 at Ascot includes a second-place finish in this race last year
9 (7)	Quddwah Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:Simon & Ed Crisford	J:Callum Shepherd T:Simon & Ed Crisford	128	t	1145-1	114	130	93	26d	—	—	+22	27.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
May still rate higher, being lightly raced and well bred (both parents won Group 1s)
6 (9)	Lake Forest Chestnut J:Tom Marquand T:William Haggas	J:Tom Marquand T:William Haggas	128	—	/221-4	115	131	118	23d	—	—	+13	17.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Last two performances suggest this step up to 1m is well worth exploring; possibilities
1 (11)	Cairo Bay J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Alice Haynes	J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Alice Haynes	128	tv	2-6262	111	124	105	39d	—	—	+18	19	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Yet to score for current yard; comfortably held in this contest last year; opposed
NR (4)	Sardinian Warrior Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:John & Thady Gosden	J:NON-RUNNER T:John & Thady Gosden	128	—	111-12	117	133	-	23d	—	—	—	16.8	—	—
Very progressive; scored over C&D on Royal Ascot trials day; interesting back here
