Alflaila |
Winner at G2 and G3 level, midfield in G1 over 2000m when last seen in September. A tough task. |
2 |
Auguste Rodin |
High class and versatile. Won 5 G1s including 2023 Derby Stakes, Irish Derby and Breeders’ Cup Turf. Beaten by White Birch last month but a leading contender. |
3 |
Hans Andersen |
Well beaten in G1 in Ireland last month and looks out of his depth. |
4 |
Horizon Dore |
An improved performer. Close fifth then narrowly beaten in G1s at Longchamp this year. An interesting challenger. |
5 |
Lord North |
8-y-o. A fine servant. Won this race in 2020 and won G1 Dubai Turf three times. Not quite as good this year. A tough task. |
6 |
Royal Rhyme |
Big improver as 3-y-o last year and won G3 on recent return. Best on soft ground. Yet to prove up to G1 standard. |
7 |
Snobbish |
Seems certain to be outclassed. |
8 |
Zarakem |
Improved to win G2 at Longchamp in April but subsequently well beaten when favourite for G1 at same track. Needs to resume progress. |
9 |
Blue Rose Cen |
Useful filly. Won 4 G1s in France at up to 2100m. Promising return this year for new trainer. Best on soft ground. Interesting. |
10 |
Inspiral |
High class mare, winner of 6 G1s in Britain, France and USA. Raced mainly at 1600m but stays 2000m. Needs to be at best after a disappointing return in May. |
