Tamfana
Won the Group 3 Atalanta Stakes over C&D (good) last August and followed up in the Group 1 Sun Chariot at Newmarket (1m, good to soft); creditable third against males in the Group 1 QEII at Ascot (1m, soft) in October when last seen and she's respected on her reappearance, despite a 5lb penalty.

Alcantor
Easily made all in the Prix Perth last October (1m, heavy) and reappeared with another Group 3 win at Saint-Cloud in the Prix Edmond Blanc last month (1m, very soft); today's better ground poses a question (below par on good going in the Craven last April) but this French raider is a key form player.

Cash
Suited by the drop back in trip when close Listed third over C&D (good) last September; gelded since and this very lightly raced 6yo could still have more to offer, but he has quite a bit to find in today's company.

Cicero's Gift
Somewhat underwhelming last season after defying an absence to win a C&D handicap (soft) last July off a big weight; however, he's had gelding and wind operations since and perhaps first time up will be the time to catch him; showed promise on good ground in 2023; not ruled out each-way.

Dancing Gemini
Last season's highlight was his reappearance second in the French 2,000 Guineas (1m, soft) and he returned this year with a dominant Listed win at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; has to back up that comeback performance and his best form is on slow ground, but plenty to like otherwise.

Haatem
Convincing winner of the Group 3 Craven (1m, good) on last season's reappearance before being placed in the 2,000 Guineas at both Newmarket (1m, good) and the Curragh (1m, good), then won the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); absent since but a major contender if at the top of his game.

Ice Max
Kicked off last season with two impressive handicap wins (1m, heavy/good to soft) and landed the four-runner Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (1m, soft) in August; very talented on his day but others have slightly stronger form and his campaign concluded with two disappointing runs.

Lead Artist
Won the Thoroughbred Stakes at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last August and added another Group 3 win in the Darley Stakes at Newmarket (1m1f, good to soft) in October; good second in Bahrain Group 2 in November; he could be just the type of Gosden-trained older horse to go to a new level this season.
