Windlord sets the form standard on his third in a 1m Group 2 at the Curragh last September and the success of his stable this spring is another incentive. He would deserve to start favourite but all of these should have a bright future this season. I Am I Said and Damysus won well on their only appearance, while Swagman can't be passed over lightly representing Aidan O'Brien, but slight preference ahead of Windlord is for I Am I Said's stablemate SIR DINADAN who made giant strides in his three starts last season and left a strong impression when proving his stamina over 1m2f at Pontefract. He needs significant further improvement, for sure, but might just come up with it.[Richard Austen]

460,000gns yearling by Frankel out of 1m-1m4f winner (including 2yo/Group 2); 8-11 for eight-runner novice at Southwell (7f, AW) in December and won comfortably despite hanging left in front, pushed along firmly to go on well over 1f out; useful prospect at the least.
110,000gns Almanzor half-brother to three winners, notably Enfjaar (7f-1m2f; RPR 117); 20-1 for novice at Newmarket (1m, soft) last October but won that nine-runner race in good style from two pretty useful rivals, coming from off the pace to lead well over 1f out; that was a striking debut.
200,000gns colt by Camelot; big improvement in his three-race 2yo career, on final start winning by 8l from the front when 5-6 in a seven-runner novice at Pontefract (1m2f, soft); there was a lot to like in that performance.
By Wootton Bassett out of Galileo mare; won maiden at Naas (7f, good) on second start as 2yo and front-running second of five in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) later in July; not seen afterwards; the one who beat him last time was Group 1 Futurity winner Hotazhell and this representative of the strongest team around clearly needs major respect.
By Dubawi out of daughter of outstanding Goldikova; significant improvement every time in four-race 2yo campaign, including landing a York novice (1m, good to soft) and close third of five from the rear in Group 2 at the Curragh (1m, good to yielding) behind subsequent Group 1 Futurity winner Hotazhell; the latter form makes him the form pick and his connections have already made their mark in the Classic trials.
