Facteur Cheval

French raider. Second in this race last year. Won G1 in Dubai in March but disappointed at Royal Ascot in June. Best on soft ground.

Maljoom

Lightly raced 5-y-o. Respectable third in G1 at Royal Ascot in June. Needs more but not ruled out.

Sonny Liston

Able performer in good Handicap races but only won 2-17 and well beaten at Group level including this month. A tough task.

Henry Longfellow

Had clearer run than Rosallion when narrowly beaten by him in G1 at Royal Ascot. Leading candidate. Bred to appreciate further than this.

Notable Speech

Lost unbeaten record when disappointing favourite behind Rosallion and Henry Longfellow in G1 at Royal Ascot. Needs to bounce back.

Rosallion

Showed good acceleration when winning three G1s. Can race keenly. Best on fast ground. A major chance.
