Bow Echo
BOW ECHO is potentially one of the best milers of the century and can confirm his Newmarket superiority over Gstaad, who has boosted that form by comfortably winning the Irish Guineas since. The hugely exciting Talk of New York adds further lustre to what is always one of the highlights of the meeting.

Took his unbeaten record to 4 with a highly impressive defeat of the reopposing Gstaad in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm). That was one of the best modern-day performances in that race and he could be capable of even better. Can't oppose.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (rowley)1mGood to FirmFlat1/14Newmarket (rowley)1mGood to FirmFlat1/8Haydock Park1m 37yGoodFlat1/7Newbury1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/7- 2(1)GstaadJ: Ryan MooreT: Aidan O'Brien, Ireland2221-21Age 39/49/42/1

Easy winner of Coventry at this meeting last year. Second Group 1 success of career when pulling 3 lengths clear in Irish 2000 Guineas 24 days ago but he was beaten a similar margin by Bow Echo in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket prior to that. Sure to go well but his old rival looks too strong.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1mGoodFlat1/9Newmarket (rowley)1mGood to FirmFlat2/14Del Mar1mFlat1/14Newmarket (rowley)7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/9Curragh7fYieldingFlat2/6- 6(3)Talk Of New YorkJ: William BuickT: Charlie Appleby1-311Age 39/29/25/1

Highly progressive colt who has benefited from the addition of a hood and looked ready for a step up to the highest level when landing last month's listed Heron Stakes at Sandown (1m, good) by 5½ lengths. More to come but whether it's enough to seriously trouble Bow Echo is another matter.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/8Newmarket (rowley)7fGoodFlat1/5Meydan7f 210yGoodFlat3/9Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat1/13- 5(4)Puerto RicoJ: Christophe SoumillonT: Aidan O'Brien, Ireland24111-4Age 314/114/116/1

Pair of Group 1 wins in France (7f/1m) last autumn. Respectable 1¼ lengths fourth of 13 to Rayif in French 2000 Guineas (1m, good to soft) on return last month but Gstaad looks very much the stable number one.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLongchamp7f 210yVery softFlat4/13Saint-cloud7f 210yVery softFlat1/7Longchamp6f 211yVery softFlat1/9Doncaster7f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/5Curragh6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/5- 4(5)Power BlueJ: David EganT: Robson De Aguiar, Ireland531-274Age 380/180/1100/1

Smart form to win the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh (6f) last summer but his limitations have been exposed in the Classics this spring. Got closer than at Newmarket when fourth in the Irish 2000 Guineas but has 4¼ lengths to make up on Gstaad.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1mGoodFlat4/9Newmarket (rowley)1mGood to FirmFlat7/14Leopardstown7f 42yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Flat2/11Curragh6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/5Curragh6fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat3/4- 3(6)Lord BritainJ: Benoit de la SayetteT: Ismail Mohammed & Jose Santos138-401Age 3150/1150/1175/1

Useful effort to win 7f Kempton handicap 3 weeks ago but down the field in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket before that and out of his depth back at this level.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat1/13Newmarket (rowley)1mGood to FirmFlat11/14Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat4/9Newmarket (rowley)1mGood to FirmFlat8/8Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat3/14
