Verdict

LION'S PRIDE is very smart on his day and shouldn't lack for sharpness following a stint in the Middle East this winter. He's narrowly preferred to Pride Of Arras, who has to be feared with sights lowered on return, while 2021 winner Al Aasy should again give his running on seasonal reappearance.

5	Not for the first time, looked decidedly smart when an emphatic winner of a Newmarket listed race in September. Well held in a pair of Group 2s in the Middle East over the winter, but eases slightly in grade here, and is fancied to make a bold bid on a track he should relish. 1st Pick 5 Lion's Pride Jockey: Ryan Moore Trainer: John & Thady Gosden J: Ryan Moore T: John & Thady Gosden	100	-	-	-	15%	6/1

6	Smart winner of the Dante and Great Voltigeur at York last season, backing up the latter success when third in Grade 2 Bahrain International Trophy (1¼m) in November. Step back up in trip will suit, and though there'll likely be bigger targets in mind, he still merits serious consideration. 2nd Pick 6 Pride Of Arras (Ire) Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: Ralph Beckett J: Rossa Ryan T: Ralph Beckett	99	-	-	-	25%	Scratched

3	Strong traveller who hasn't always looked to relish a battle, but he was back to his best when winning Group 3 Glorious Stakes at Goodwood last summer. Shouldn't be judged too harshly on subsequent runs and has a good record fresh, winning this corresponding race on reappearance in 2021. 3rd Pick 3 Al Aasy (Ire) Jockey: Tom Marquand Trainer: William Haggas J: Tom Marquand T: William Haggas	98	-	-	-	23%	7/2
