1

Audarya

Winner and close third in G1s in France then won Breeders Cup G1 last year. Fine second to Love on return last month. Acts on any ground. Major player.

2

Lady Bowthorpe

Runner-up to top class Palace Pier then troubled run when close fourth to Snow Lantern this month. Yet to race beyond 1800m but should stay. Major player.

3

Empress Josephine

Won Irish 1000 Guineas on heavy ground but well beaten in G1 at Royal Ascot on similar going, both over 1600m. Should stay 2000m. Needs more.

4

Joan Of Arc

Narrowly beaten by stablemate Empress Josephine in G1 on heavy ground before winning G1 in France last month. A leading contender.

5

Technique

Just beaten by Zeyaadah in G3 last month but overall form not good enough for this.

6

Zeyaadah

Decent performer, narrowly won G3 last month but unlikely to be good enough.
