| Top-class performer who showed potent turn of foot to win Group 1 Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot and International Stakes at York last summer. Couldn't handle Calandagan when second in Champion Stakes at Ascot final 4-y-o start but faces nothing of that calibre here and is the one to beat. | ||||||||

| Looked as good as ever before the turn of the year, winning Group 2 at Tokyo before 1¾ lengths second of 18 to Jantar Mantar in Group 1 Mile Championship at Kyoto. One of the likelier ones to pick up the pieces if Ombudsman fails to fire. | ||||||||

| Doubled tally for the year in 8-runner Singspiel Stakes (C&D) in February, beating Dividend by 2½ lengths. Aided by both a good position and the emphasis on speed that day, but should get a similarly positive ride from stall 1 with Ryan Moore on board again and holds place claims. | ||||||||

| Better than ever when winning both starts at this track this season, namely Al Fahidi Fort (7f) in January and Ras Al Khor (7f, by 2½ lengths from Mysterious Night) in March. That still leaves him with a bit to find back over 9f, though. | ||||||||

| One-time very smart performer who won this contest in 2024. Was a notch or 2 below that level last year, though, and failed to settle fully when 4¾ lengths second in the Group 1 Neom Turf Cup at King Abdulaziz last time. Is probably set for no better than minor honours back down in trip. | ||||||||

| Progressive 4-y-o who has recently graduated from the handicapping ranks, winning Group 3 before 1½ lengths second of 8 to Rebel's Romance in Dubai City of Gold here. Drop back down in trip won't be a problem and only a bit more is required for him to make an impact at this level. | ||||||||

| Smart gelding. Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner local Group 2 Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Cup at Doha 42 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Holloway Boy. Has more on his plate in this company and is ideally suited by shorter trips. | ||||||||

| Has thrived since fitted with cheekpieces, winning back-to-back handicaps at this track in February before shaping well upped in grade when 2½ lengths second of 8 to Quddwah in Singspiel Stakes (C&D) 28 days ago. This is tougher, though. | ||||||||
