1

Aldaary

Raced mainly in handicaps, decent efforts in G2 and G3 races this year but more needed. Best on soft ground.

2

Chindit

Good class performer but beaten in all nine attempts at G1 level, including when well beaten in this race last year. Improvement needed.

3

Facteur Cheval

French trained. Improving and narrowly beaten third in G1 Prix d’Ispahan over 1850m in May. Acts well on soft ground. Tough task.

4

Inspiral

Top class filly over 1600m, winner of three G1s in 2021 and 2022. Returned from eight month break with close second in G1 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot. Respected.

5

Charyn

Won G2 over 1200m last year. Some fair runs in G1s this year but an unlikely winner.

6

Paddington

The star of European racing, winning three G1s in a row – Irish 2000 Guineas, St James’s Palace Stakes and Eclipse Stakes. Has fine acceleration and will be hard to beat.
