1

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.

2

Maljoom

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

3

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.

4

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.

5

Notable Speech

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

6

Rosallion

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