Interesting, assuming his excellent progress (2111) on AW is transferred to turf
10 (9)	Unquestionable b Ryan Moore · Richard Hannon	Ryan Moore · Richard Hannon	131	—	21/44-	112	124	109	316d	—	—	+6	19.1	11/2 15%
Smart for Aidan O'Brien; fourth in the 2024 St James's Palace Stakes; big player
5 (3)	Harper's Ferry ch Tom Marquand · Ed Walker	Tom Marquand · Ed Walker	131	—	1861-5	100	119	105	13d	—	—	+7	14.7	11/1 8%
May rate higher still; looks more interesting than the bare figures suggest
11 (11)	Witch Hunter b Sean Levey · Richard Hannon	Sean Levey · Richard Hannon	131	b	63-626	109	121	100	32d	—	—	+9	16.9	11/1 8%
Fourth in last year's Queen Anne; frame possibilities if taking well to blinkers
1 (7)	Phantom Flight b Callum Shepherd · George Scott	Callum Shepherd · George Scott	134	—	5-1124	112	119	87	54d	—	—	+11	17.4	12/1 8%
Not crying out for drop back to 1m and has to overcome a 3lb penalty to boot
7 (1)	Royal Dubai b Rossa Ryan · Marco Botti	Rossa Ryan · Marco Botti	131	—	463-55	105	122	106	96d	—	—	+9	15.7	14/1 7%

3 (4)	Checkandchallenge b/br William Buick · William Knight	William Buick · William Knight	131	—	265-28	109	122	104	9d	—	—	+11	16.4	16/1 6%
Second to notable rival on penultimate start but strike-rate remains unimpressive
2 (6)	Tyrrhenian Sea gr Silvestre De Sousa · Roger Varian	Silvestre De Sousa · Roger Varian	134	—	/332-1	108	121	-	82d	—	—	+21	25.9	18/1 5%
Latest win took his AW record to 5-13; he's 0-5 on turf and carries 3lb penalty

1m3f Listed winner; gelded since last run; drop to 1m presents a question mark
9 (10)	Sir Busker b Oisin Murphy · William Knight	Oisin Murphy · William Knight	131	—	41408-	108	119	95	165d	—	—	+15	18.5	28/1 3%
Ran respectably in this race in 2021 and 2022 but ideally needs further now
