KINROSS found one too good in this last year having won it in 2021. But he went on to Group 1 glory later in the season and arrives on the back of a fine effort in the July Cup at Newmarket. Pogo was third in this last term but finished behind the winner Audience and runner-up Jumby in the Criterion at HQ last time while Al Suhail was put in his place by the selection at Doncaster last autumn. Greenham winner Isaac Shelby subsequently went close in the French 2000 Guineas and makes most appeal of the three-year-olds.
