Claymore
Campaigned in the UAE this winter, last seen finishing tailed off at Meydan; still 4lb higher than for his last win in Britain and probably best watched after three months off.

From the connections
“It was my first ride in Hungary. I rode Claymore last time at Windsor, so I was familiar with him, and I thought he'd go there with a chance. The prize-money was attractive. Last time he was a little bit claustrophobic between horses, so I said to Jane I'd like to ride him from the front, and it paid off - Silvestre de Sousa, rider.”
“Claymore has always been a proper horse. I think he improved in his trial and last time was just an absolute disaster. The only positive to come out of it was it probably made a man out of him, because his attitude today was brilliant. It was a first-class performance - Adam Kirby, jockey.”
“That was a great run from a maiden winner and it was no disgrace to be beaten by last year's champion two-year-old. Claymore is French-bred so I think the plan would be to head to the French 2,000 Guineas as he will get all the premiums - Hugo Lascelles, racing manager to owner Mary Slack.”
