1

Amhran Na Bhfiann

1.3 million guineas yearling. Lightly raced 4-y-o. Won well at lesser level over 2800m last month. Only an outside chance.

2

Away He Goes

Fair form in Dubai in the Spring. Needs to improve on effort in G3 at York this month.

3

Emperor Of The Sun

Some fair efforts but well beaten in G1 Ascot Gold Cup and an unlikely winner.

4

Mekong

Well beaten in all outings this year and victory would be a big surprise.

5

Nayef Road

Creditable runner-up to Stradivarius in this race last year but disappointing recently and well beaten in Ascot Gold Cup. Needs to return to his best.

6

Santiago

Won last year’s Irish Derby then creditable third in this race. Well beaten in last month’s Ascot Gold Cup. Shorter trip should help.

7

Serpentine

Easy, surprise winner of last year’s Epsom Derby. Less good since. 4000m was too far when well beaten in Ascot Gold Cup and not certain to stay 3210m.

8

Sir Ron Priestley

Missed whole of 2020 but returned better than ever. A good battler and now high class over 2400m and 2800m. Suited by fast ground.

9

Spanish Mission

Smart performer who stays this trip and was a good third to Subjectivist in the Ascot Gold Cup. A live challenger. Best on a sound surface.

10

Stradivarius

Going for fifth successive win in this race. Beaten when odds-on in Ascot Gold Cup after being hampered. Now a 7-y-o but will be hard to beat. Has a good turn of foot.

11

Trueshan

Has developed into a high class stayer but needs soft ground to be at his best. A live contender if he gets it.
