Won over 1200m on debut at Chester and has proven his worth/competitiveness in subsequent Group races, finishing 3rd in 1200m Group II Coventry Stakes and 4th in 1400m Group II Superlative Stakes at Newmarket on 13 July. Keep safe

Impressive wide-margin winner on debut at Chantilly (1200m) before confirming her obvious ability/promise with a creditable last-start 3rd in the Group III Prix du Bois over that course and distance on 16 June. Beware

Finished 2nd in consecutive outings over 1000m - at Thirsk on debut and at Ascot in her next outing - before opening her account over 1200m in Italy when last seen on 9 June. Will find this a lot tougher

Finished 2nd to POLYVEGA (5) over 1100m on debut at Chantilly but improved with that experience to land the Listed Prix Yacowlef over 1000m at Deauville on 6 July. Exciting prospect who it should pay to follow

Authoritative debut winner over 1100m at Chantilly on 16 June and should have more to offer over the extra 100m. Beat re-opposing APOLLO FOUNTAIN (4) on debut and the latter has subsequently won a Listed race

Race Overview
Good race. APOLLO FOUNTAIN (4) finished behind POLYVEGA (5) when the pair debuted over 1100m at Chantilly but the former could hardly have been more impressive in winning the Listed Prix Yacowlef over 1000m earlier this month and, on the evidence of that display with the benefit of added experience to count on, seems capable of avenging that debut defeat. COLUMNIST (1) has proven references at Group level across the Channel and should, on the strength/consistency of his form, make his presence felt in the outcome. DAYLIGHT (2), despite finishing 3rd in the 1200m Group III Prix du Bois, was slightly disappointing and could make amends here.
