The usual clutch of progressive three-year-olds, some of whom should move into Listed and Group company as the campaign progresses. Dual winner Peter The Great looks fairly treated on handicap bow and is shortlisted for Gosden and Dettori on his toughest ask to date.

He may prove more than capable, but DUBAI HONOUR (NAP) also ran a cracker at Royal Ascot on seasonal debut when fourth in the Britannia and is expected to build on that undoubted promise over this additional two furlongs.
