Ombudsman (H)
FAV
Top-class performer who showed potent turn of foot to win the Prince of Wales's at Royal Ascot and International at York last summer. Didn't need to be at his best when making a successful return in the Dubai Turf in March and he holds lea…

Almeric (C)
Developed into a smart colt last year, bagging listed races at Newmarket and Ayr (both on ground softer than good). Lesser effort in Champion Stakes at Ascot to end the season and only third of 5 in the Gordon Richards here on return, thou…

Arabian Light (G)
At least as good as ever when winning handicap at Meydan (1¼m) in January, racing wide but getting the better of Bedouin Prince by ½ length. Upped to Group 3 level, probably should have won when nose second of 7 to Fort George over the sam…

Bedouin Prince (G)
Progressive in 2025, winning first 2 of 3 starts, and ran well when runner-up to stablemate Arabian Light at Meydan in January. However, wasn't in quite the same form in listed race for the first time when ¾-length second of 10 to Calif at…

Gethin (C)
Looked a good prospect when landing novice races first 2 starts and made his third attempt at listed level a winning one at Kempton in April, well on top at the finish. Has since changed hands (same stable) and he looks ready for this step…

Wimbledon Hawkeye (C)
[P]
Made the frame at pattern level 5 of first 6 starts last season, before gaining reward for his consistency when landing a Grade 3 at Kentucky in August. Found things tough when down the field in Breeders' Cup Turf on final outing, but he c…
