Albert Einstein (C)
FAV
[H1]
Looked exciting when winning both starts last spring, latterly a 6f Group 3. Lost unbeaten record with a bit of a whimper in 7f Curragh listed on heavy-ground return 3 weeks ago but entitled to come on for the run. Connections talked about…

Alparslan (C)
Made it 2-2 when dominating a valuable sales race at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) last September. Found the Group 1 Dewhurst at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) too hot to handle 4 weeks later but remains with the potential for better after …

Aqpan (C)
Raced over 7f on all-weather, producing 2 promising runner-up efforts at Kempton before pushed out to land short odds on Southwell return 3 weeks ago. Likely capable of better but this is a big jump in class.

Ardisia (G)
Gained a fifth win of a fantastic first season when bagging a valuable listed event at Redcar (6f, good to soft) in October. Ended his campaign with a respectable 5¾ lengths seventh of 14 to Gstaad in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar…

Gonna Fly (C)
Looked a smart prospect when making a winning start to his career in a 1m course novice (heavy) last backend. Holds Group entries over 1¼m and 1½m but isn't currently in the 2000 Guineas.

Needle Match (C)
2/1, made a winning debut in 6.5f course maiden (heavy) last autumn. That bare form is a long way short of the required standard here but his yard isn't one to pitch them in deep for the sake of it.

Title Role (C)
Confirmed 6f course debut promise when landing short odds at Kempton (7f) in October. Has continued to progress in 3 outings at Meydan this year, landing a 1m turf listed race on latest start 7 weeks ago. Likely capable of even better.

Zavateri (C)
