Verdict

GEWAN is taken to emulate Chaldean, who completed the Acomb and Champagne double for the Andrew Balding stable in 2022. Oxagon looked a good prospect when a wide-margin winner at Sandown and is second choice ahead of Cape Orator, who bagged a valuable prize in France last month.

Frankel colt who was fifth in a very strong Newmarket July meeting maiden on debut and bolted up by 8 lengths from a subsequent winner at Sandown (7f) 19 days later. Exciting.

Verdict
2-2, looking a fine prospect when adding to Newbury debut success in the Group 3 Acomb at York (7f, good) month. Chaldean completed the Acomb/Champagne double for the yard in 2022 and this one can repeat the feat.

Verdict
Left the form of his AW maiden win in June well behind when following up in a valuable sales race at Deauville (6.5f, good) last month. That impressive success suggests he can make his mark at Group level.

Verdict
Still a maiden after 5 starts (all 6f) but runner-up twice at Group 2 level. Respectable 3¾ lengths fourth of 5 to Power Blue in Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Tackles 7f for the first time here.

Won 6-runner maiden at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on debut in July, responding well. Open to improvement over a trip which should suit but this is a significant jump in class.
