Europe's champion 2yo in 2023; desperately disappointing in 2,000 Guineas; major query now
1 (6)	Ambiente Friendly b Robert Havlin · James Fanshawe	Robert Havlin · James Fanshawe	128	—	13-41	111	126	116	21d	—	—	+6	11/2
Major improvement for step up to 11.6f when impressive at Lingfield; suited by good ground
11 (4)	Los Angeles b/br Wayne Lordan · A P O'Brien	Wayne Lordan · A P O'Brien	128	—	11-1	111	123	82	20d	—	—	+16	5/1
Unbeaten winner of three races on varying ground; 1m4f looks sure to suit; leading chance
2 (11)	Ancient Wisdom b William Buick · Charlie Appleby	William Buick · Charlie Appleby	128	—	1311-2	115	126	119	16d	—	—	+13	6/1
Won Gr 1 (1m, heavy) as 2yo; one-paced on 1m2f return; 1m4f will suit; rain very helpful
6 (15)	Dancing Gemini b Dylan Browne McMonagle · Roger Teal	Dylan Browne McMonagle · Roger Teal	128	—	5115-2	113	125	111	20d	—	—	+15	8/1
Sire and damsire were Derby winners but sharp speed at 7f/1m has been a feature so far
12 (8)	Macduff b Rossa Ryan · Ralph Beckett	Rossa Ryan · Ralph Beckett	128	—	124-2	107	118	100	36d	—	—	+15	12/1
Something to find on form but promising 2nd on return and the type to improve as a 3yo
3 (12)	Bellum Justum b Oisin Murphy · Andrew Balding	Oisin Murphy · Andrew Balding	128	—	5241-1	104	117	94	39d	—	—	+20	16/1
Unassuming 2yo but straightforward 1m2f win here on return; can improve for 1m4f
7 (14)	Deira Mile b Jim Crowley · Owen Burrows	Jim Crowley · Owen Burrows	128	p	3324-1	109	116	94	40d	—	—	+23	25/1
No obvious ground preferences and open to improvement but form not strong enough so far
16 (16)	Voyage b Pat Dobbs · Richard Hannon	Pat Dobbs · Richard Hannon	128	—	1	-	107	70	43d	—	—	+8	25/1
28-1 for 1m2f Newbury debut when impressive winner; promising but massive jump in class
8 (9)	Euphoric b Declan McDonogh · A P O'Brien	Declan McDonogh · A P O'Brien	128	—	1-32	103	119	80	20d	—	—	+19	33/1
Narrow 1m maiden win as 2yo; did the donkey work for Los Angeles latest; likely pacemaker
5 (7)	Dallas Star b David Egan · Adrian Murray	David Egan · Adrian Murray	128	—	8313-1	106	118	90	55d	—	—	+22	33/1
Handled heavy ground well when Group 3 Leopardstown winner for new yard; has work to do
9 (10)	God's Window b Kieran Shoemark · John & Thady Gosden	Kieran Shoemark · John & Thady Gosden	128	—	13-145	107	118	97	16d	—	—	+13	33/1
Third to Ancient Wisdom in Group 1 as 2yo; recent trials haven't advanced claims for this
14 (2)	Sayedaty Sadaty b Tom Marquand · Andrew Balding	Tom Marquand · Andrew Balding	128	—	O13-22	102	113	108	29d	—	—	+12	40/1
Wayward at times as 2yo but acts on this track; yard has good record with Derby outsiders
10 (3)	Kamboo b Richard Kingscote · Richard Hughes	Richard Kingscote · Richard Hughes	128	—	61-	-	98	-	178d	—	—	+9	80/1
Made late debut; looked smart with AW win in December; off since and bar is sky-high here
13 (5)	Mr Hampstead b Sean Levey · Dominic Ffrench Davis	Sean Levey · Dominic Ffrench Davis	128	—	2-43	86	101	92	22d	—	—	+12	80/1
Maiden after 3 starts for R Varian, including at 1m4f; asked a huge question at this level
15 (13)	Tabletalk b James Doyle · Tom Clover	James Doyle · Tom Clover	128	—	3-1	-	91	-	23d	—	—	+12	100/1
Made light of winning 1m2f AW maiden in May; this race is a tough task on turf debut
