Kingdom Of Bahrain July Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings)

Wootton Bassett colt who cost 300,000gns as a yearling; ridden out to win Curragh maiden (6f, good) that has thrown up a few subsequently smart performers, for this yard, in recent years; Ryan Moore's post-race comments suggest the colt will come on plenty for the run; respected.

Has shaped in contrasting ways in two starts over 5f on good to firm ground, making all for neck success at Salisbury then running-on fifth from midfield in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot; the latter effort suggests this extra furlong may well prompt further improvement.

The only maiden in this field but he's seemingly a useful one and has raced only three times; belied his 80-1 odds in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) most recently, beating all bar the Aidan O'Brien-trained market leader; possibilities, provided that form is backed up.

Inns Of Court colt who cost 85,000gns as a yearling; comfortably justified favouritism and recorded a useful RPR in Goodwood contest (6f, soft) for a very promising debut; potentially Group class and looks an interesting contender, assuming he handles the forecast faster ground.

Son of Mehmas, who won this race in 2016; £720,000 breeze-up purchase who is two from two; the form of his latest success, in the Woodcote (6f, good to soft) at Epsom, received a notable boost when the runner-up went one better in the Windsor Castle; strong contender upped further in grade.
