Kylian
Tipped this three-year-old at Ascot last time out when he was returning to action for the first time since being gelded.
Not only was he down to a very dangerous mark the fact he was gelded was likely a positive.
He was 2nd of ten which was more than encouraging considering he's likely to improve from that and remains at the same mark.
Down 7lb from when he was just three lengths off of Big Evs here in May in listed company.
Just his third Class 2 handicap and ought not to be discounted with Hollie Doyle back on board, who often does well in these kind of handicaps.

Ruling Court
Ruling Court arrived at Sandown on debut with huge expectations as he was bought for €2,300,000 as a yearling.
And it would be an understatement to say he showed a fair bit of potential when winning comfortably over 7f ahead of Pantile Warrior with ease.
Pantile Warrior is rated 84 but the Godolphin horse made the horse look as though he was racing at least two classes too high, of course he wasn't but the Justify colt just ran on that easily.
He arrives here as the 11/10 favourite with more expectations to do well in a field of 11 promising two-year-olds, including The Lion In Winter.
Trained by O'Brien, who is also well regarded by the yard, arrives for just his second race too at around 9/4.
He went on late to win stylishly at the Curragh in July and could well have more to offer.
But it's the Godolphin Charlie Appleby-trained star who can't be dismissed, even at just better than odds against.
Wimbledon Hawkeye placed 3rd int he Superlative Stakes and is 18/1 as the third favourite, so there's clear hope the pair can scoot clear.
Los Angeles
Los Angeles is the big favourite for the Voltigeur, ahead of King's Gambit who makes it a Ryan Moore vs William Buick in the Group 2 contest.
He was incredibly impressive coming back from defeat in the Derby to win the Irish Derby and even reverse the form with Ambiente Friendly who was beaten in 3rd at the Curragh.
King's Gambit is a bit of a punt hoping he will suit 1m4f over a horse who has Group 1 experience over the trip.
But he's been close behind Alflaila here in July and should give a good account, but it's likely going to be the Aidan O'Brien-trained horse who finds more, even with the 5lb difference.
Trifecta
Really tough to rule out City Of Troy, but being confident in the other two favourites it's hard to see three quick-fire rattle home on opening day, especially with many looking to take advantage of any mistakes or lack of running. And the drift in the odds is concerning.
Bluestocking went so well to go 2nd over 1m4f at Ascot last time out, finishing ahead of Rebel's Romance and beaten by Goliath.
The filly won over course and distance here in May beating Free Wind by six lengths and shouldn't be discounted, for the in-form trainer and jockey who boast a 31% and a 26% strike-rate respectively.
Calandagan is a big rival who stormed home to win the King Edward VII at Royal Ascot, beating Space Legend by six lengths over the 1m4f course.
Interesting back down in trip and raiding another Group race in Britain, and is clearly very well suited to a variety of conditions, distances and may well have just found even more in his locker last time out that suggests he's a big price here, even each-way.
Ambiente Friendly was well beaten by City Of Troy in the Derby and then went well in 3rd behind Los Angeles in the Irish Derby last time out.
It's going to be a good watch seeing these horses battle it out again over a slightly shorter trip, as many of these could change the race completely with a front-running attempt to make all.
But it's really tough to rule out any of the first three mentioned, and as such, might just be worth going for the 1-2-3 in any order in hopes they each get there.
