Lion's Pride
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.

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoha (qatar)1m 3f 205yGood to FirmFlat6/7Sakhir1m 1f 207yGoodFlat5/8Newmarket (rowley)1m 4fGood to FirmFlat1/7Kempton Park1m 1f 219yStandard / SlowFlat6/8Kempton Park1m 3f 219yStandard / SlowFlat2/7- 3(5)Al AasyJ: Tom MarquandT: William Haggas147159-Age 910/311/43/1

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury1m 4fSoftFlat9/9Leopardstown1m 4fGood to YieldingFlat5/9Goodwood1m 3f 218yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/5Ascot1m 3f 211yGood to FirmFlat7/12Newbury1m 4fGood to FirmFlat4/7- 1(1)ConvergentJ: Clifford LeeT: K.

Followed up a smart Leopardstown victory with an even better effort when winning a Group 2 at Longchamp and can be forgiven subsequent disappointment on soft ground in a Group 1 at Munich last November. Could be more to come but no easy task conceding weight to some smart rivals here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMunich1m 3f 205ySoftFlat7/8Longchamp1m 2f 206yGood to softFlat1/7Leopardstown1m 4fGood to YieldingFlat1/9Hamburg1m 3f 205yFlat2/17Chester1m 4f 63yGoodFlat3/8- 7(3)TenabilityJ: Cieren FallonT: William Haggas411112-Age 413/213/27/1

Looked most progressive when landing a 4-timer in a warm handicap at Ascot and while he coped well on first foray into graded company when runner-up in the Cumberland Lodge there in October, this is a deeper race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot1m 3f 211ySoftFlat2/5Ascot1m 3f 211ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/7Ascot1m 3f 211yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/8Ascot1m 3f 211yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/7Windsor1m 2fGood to FirmFlat1/7- 4(7)Bellum JustumJ: Oisin MurphyT: Andrew Balding1/5169-Age 57/17/115/2

In need of the run when fifth in this corresponding race 12 months ago before going on to win Group 2 Jockey Club at Newmarket. Well held both starts in better company subsequently and this could be a stepping stone for repeat bid at HQ next month.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot1m 3f 211yGood to FirmFlat9/12Epsom Downs1m 4f 6yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat6/7Newmarket (rowley)1m 4fGoodFlat1/4Newbury1m 4fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/7Kentucky Downs1m 2f 110yFlat1/12- 2(6)Phantom FlightJ: William BuickT: George Scott371-191Age 78/17/115/2

Enhanced fine course record when winning the Group 3 HM The King's Cup at Sakhir (Bahrain) earlier this month, notching a first victory over 1½m to boot, though he may prove vulnerable in a stronger event here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSakhir1m 3f 205yGood to FirmFlat1/9King Abdulaziz1m 2f 110yGood to FirmFlat9/11Sakhir1m 209yFlat1/10Dundalk1m 2f 150yStandardFlat1/13Ascot1m 1f 212yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/16- Non-Runners

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSakhir1m 1f 207yGoodFlat4/8York1m 3f 188yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/7Curragh1m 4fGoodFlat10/10Epsom Downs1m 4f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat17/18York1m 2f 56yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/11
