1

Band Practice

On upward curve last year and landed hat-trick with Listed win at Chantilly. Forgiven heavy defeat at Breeders’ Cup and an interesting runner.

2

Spartan Fighter

Sprint bred and promising in 2019 until failed to cope with step up in class. Possibly not suited by soft ground and could bounce back.

3

Golden Dragon

Did well last year, finishing with a close 5th in G3 at Newmarket. Handicap mark demands improvement. Not ruled out.

4

Show Me Show Me

Ran well on occasions, including when good 3rd in G3 at Goodwood at 25-1 but not gone on from that. No more than adequate run in G3 this month.

5

Maystar

Productive first season, winning at up to 1400m. Narrowly beaten in Listed race at Chantilly in March. Shorter trip may not be ideal but fair chance.

6

Will To Win

All four wins over 1200m on all-weather. Improving but not certain to appreciate shorter trip. Reasonable chance.

7

Art Power

Dominant performances at York last year and Newcastle this month. Clearly useful. May prove best at 1200m. Good chance.

8

Classy Moon

£220,000 2yo ran respectably at G2 level. Not run since July and level of ability still unclear.

9

Keep Busy

Was busy with 11 runs last year and performed creditably. Struggled with step up in class on two runs this month and may find this hard.

10

Rayong

Midfield in 2019 Windsor Castle Stakes and balance of form suggests he will struggle to win off current handicap mark.

11

George Cornelius

Showed promise in Ireland last year but flopped when odds-on in modest event at Beverley eight days ago. On that evidence, has little chance.

12

Lambeth Walk

Struck twice over 1000m early last season before proving not up to Group level. Likely to find this tough.

13

Flippa The Strippa

Fair effort to be 8th in 2019 Queen Mary Stakes, behind Mighty Spirit. So far not up to winning at Group level and this offers a better chance.

14

Dylan De Vega

Failed to progress after early promise. Needs to have thrived during eight month break to be a serious contender.

15

Illusionist

Bought cheaply by Grant Tuer after disappointing runs. An unlikely candidate for success.

16

Mighty Spirit

A solid, consistent performer over this trip on range of going. 6th in G2 Queen Mary Stakes here last year. Well handicapped if can defy absence.

17

Electric Ladyland

Busy first season. All four wins over 1000m and consistent. Won at similar level on return. Probably needs more to win this.

18

Never Dark

Bred to sprint. All five runs on all-weather and won when dropped to 1000m this month. Should progress and good chance.

19

Sir Oliver

Took long time to win – did so this February after gelded and dropped to 1000m but well behind Triple Spear 11 days ago. A tough task.

20

Triple Spear

Fair record last year and winning return over 1000m at Haydock 11 days ago but this a big step up in class.

21

City Walk

Too keen and faded badly in a minor event at Kempton this month. Will need a big step up.

22

Dancin Inthestreet

Form over further. Had troubled passage and stayed on well into 3rd over 1000m this month. Course should suit better than Haydock. Good chance.
