1

Copper Knight

Not very big but an 8-times winner who always does his best. Has run well off a break before and still fairly handicapped despite top weight.

2

Leodis Dream

No worries that he comes here off a break as defied an absence to win well first time in 2019. However his handicap mark looks challenging.

3

Stone Of Destiny

His trainer reckons that he was unlucky on several occasions last season, until winning at Ascot.  This trip and good ground are ideal.

4

Count d’Orsay

In great form late last season with two wins and a good 2nd in a big field. Only problem is facing a career high handicap mark on this return.

5

Aplomb

His jockey steered him to victory in a handicap last August and the pair very nearly won another at Ascot in October. Any ease in the ground would help.

6

Makanah

Won first time off a break last season so no concerns there. He is versatile in terms of ground and tactics.

7

Street Parade

Led for most of the trip to win at Windsor early last season. Yet to win again despite near misses. Best on fast ground according to his trainer.

8

Encore d’Or

Has a higher winning strike-rate on the all-weather compared to turf. Has a sinking handicap mark following a mostly disappointing 2019.

9

Venturous

This speedster returned from a lengthy break to outclass his rivals in a modest all-weather sprint in January. Prefers a fast surface.

10

Blue De Vega

3rd in a 1600m G1 as a 3YO but has been a handicap sprinter for a long time now. He needs a strong pace to aim at.

11

Royal Birth

His last 14 starts have come on the all-weather but he is three times a turf winner. His jockey has only partnered him once before, finishing 2nd then.

12

Restless Rose

She was in good form in all-weather sprints earlier this year, winning twice. Also decent on turf and her trainer thinks she’s been unlucky a few times.
