Lord Montague and Questa Notte are newcomers with significant pedigrees but they start out against an exciting colt in REALIGN. His two placed runs last August were in hot races and he can make light of his nine-month absence before having his sights raised. Rajteriat has recorded the highest RPR of the remainder but Tasalla, who was green on his Doncaster debut, may emerge as the chief threat.[Paul Smith]

55,000gns foal, 50,000gns yearling; seventh foal; half-brother to six winners including Tapisserie (7f including Listed; RPR 102), Al Muqdad (7f; 88), Sky Blue Pink (6f 2yo; 86) and Art Fantastique (6f 2yo; 66); dam 5f 2yo winner (including Listed; 102); lots to like on paper but he has a useful standard to aim at.
All runs at 5f; placed on his first three starts as a 2yo but his form dipped when a strong favourite at Beverley last July (a race that looks considerably better now than it did at the time); gelded during his 322-day absence and returns for his new yard with a hood fitted; each-way shout.
Chased home subsequent Dewhurst winner/2000 Guineas third Shadow Of Light on his Newmarket debut last August (6f, good); third of 17 in a red-hot York maiden three weeks later where the seventh furlong looked to stretch him; sets a high bar for his rivals to aim at and he's capable of better himself; still holds a Commonwealth Cup entry.
27,000euros foal, 80,000gns yearling; sixth foal; half-sister to top-notch sprinters Live In The Dream (Nunthorpe; RPR 120) and Live In The Moment (104); should have a future but yard's newcomers usually better for a run and she has a good standard to aim at.
Third foal; half-sister to winners Drama (6f; RPR 95) and Sidcot Swallet (Qatar 6f); dam 5f turf 2yo/6f AW winner (75); should have a future judged on pedigree but this looks a tough starting point.
