Convergent
Another trappy renewal of a race that has proved a graveyard for favourites. CONVERGENT boasted a positive profile prior to Epsom and, with that run easily forgiven, he looks worth siding with to get back on track, his John Porter success representing the best recent form on offer. The ultra-reliable Rebel’s Romance carries a 3 lb penalty but still looks the most likely to benefit should the selection fail to run to his best, while Tenability may still have more to offer.

Top-level middle-distance performer with 21 wins from 31 starts, including 2 Breeders’ Cup Turf triumphs. Proved his ability remains intact when landing the odds in a Group 2 at Meydan in February. A previous C&D winner, he goes well fresh and is tactically versatile. Sure to make a bold bid.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMeydan1m 3f 216yGoodFlat1/8Del Mar1m 4fFlat2/14Aqueduct1m 4fFlat1/5Hoppegarten1m 3f 205yFlat1/6Ascot1m 3f 211yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/5- 4(4)ConvergentJ: Clifford LeeT: K.

Likeable type that conceded weight to some smart rivals when successful in the Group 3 John Porter on return, despite meeting plenty of trouble. Unsuited by conditions when well beaten in Coronation Cup last time and very much the type to bounce back down in grade. Solid claims.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosEpsom Downs1m 4f 6yGood to SoftFlat5/6Newbury1m 4fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/6Munich1m 3f 205ySoftFlat7/8Longchamp1m 2f 206yGood to softFlat1/7Leopardstown1m 4fGood to YieldingFlat1/9- 2(5)AlmericJ: Oisin MurphyT: Andrew Balding/119-33Age 411/211/25/1

Developed into a smart colt last year, bagging listed races at Newmarket and Ayr. Best effort since when 3¼ lengths third of 6 to Ombudsman in Brigadier Gerard Stakes in May, though evidence mounting that he's at his very best on softer going.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 1f 209yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/6Sandown Park1m 1f 209yGoodFlat3/5Ascot1m 1f 212yGoodFlat9/11Ayr1m 2fSoftFlat1/6Newmarket (rowley)1m 1fGood to SoftFlat1/8- 5(3)TenabilityJ: Tom MarquandT: William Haggas1112-31Age 415/215/28/1

Most progressive last season, landing a 4-timer in a warm handicap at Ascot, and has stepped up again this year, finishing length third of 6 to Convergent in John Porter at Newbury on return before winning listed Tapster Stakes at Goodwood last month by a neck from Hamish.

Highly tried last season, including when third in this race, and appreciated the drop in grade when winning listed contest at Windsor final start. Below best at Goodwood on return, though, and he has plenty to find in this company.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood1m 3f 218ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat5/6Windsor1m 3f 99yGood to Firm (Good In Places)Flat1/4Goodwood1m 3f 218yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat5/5Newmarket (july)1m 4fGood to FirmFlat3/4Sandown Park1m 1f 209yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat6/7
