Has attempted 7f a few times, most recently coming up well short in the Jersey at Royal Ascot where he finished behind Seagulls Eleven; best form at 6f, including good effort in Ascot Group 3 on reappearance; something to prove over this new trip.

Jockey: Trainer: J S Moore

Opera Ballo

Unraced as a 2yo; impressive in two Kempton AW contests early this year, looking a 2,000 Guineas prospect; flopped in the Craven, having pulled too hard, but scored comfortably in first-time hood at Sandown (1m, good; Listed) since; talented colt who could well progress further with the headgear retained; respected even with 3lb penalty.

Arabian Story

No better than midfield in two Meydan starts; 2-2 since racing in Britain, gamely landing the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm; turf debut) last time, albeit fortuitously as the runner-up looked unlucky; faces a tougher task on these terms but is open to further improvement.

Kingman colt who is 2-2 this season, last time easily defying a penalty in C&D novice event (good to firm) that was won in 2021 by fellow Shadwell horse Baaeed, who followed up in this race en route to becoming a star performer; very promising and looks an interesting contender.

Jockey: Jim CrowleyTrainer: Charles Hills
5
King Of Cities

Midfield in the French Derby last time, running creditably on the figures; has a solid record (3122) on home soil, clear second in the Feilden at the Craven meeting on the other course here (1m1f, good to soft; Listed) the final time; leading player at the weights returned to this grade.
