G3 – 1400m – Turf
1 | Above | Won three of his six starts at two, proving himself at this distance. Also 3rd in a G3 at Baden-Baden, racing prominently. |
2 | Celestin | From a French stable, currently in hot form. Twice a winner but posted a clear career best when a close 4th in a 1600m Deauville G1 this month. |
3 | Fleeting Prince | A 1211m winner on fast ground at two and ran a good 4th in an all-weather G3 at Newcastle this month despite being slow from the gates. Up in trip. |
4 | King Leonidas | Has won both starts, confirming his promise for 2020 with a convincing victory at Newmarket, giving weight to some well-regarded rivals. Well worth a try at this G3. |
5 | King Of Athens | Led from the start to win a minor event at Lingfield and, though just caught in a Listed event at Leopardstown last week, that was an encouraging effort. |
6 | Lord Of The Lodge | Led most of the way when 2nd in a 1200m G2 at York last August, outclassing his rivals on his only 2020 start. Up in trip, suitable according to pedigree. |
7 | Mister Snowdon | Unbeaten in two starts and easily won a novices’ event over this trip this month, despite racing too keenly. Up sharply in grade. |
8 | Molatham | Powerfully built, he was twice a winner in 2019 including in Listed company. Didn’t last out 1600m on slow ground at Newmarket. Chance on this 2020 return. |
9 | Monarch Of Egypt | His great trainer thinks he has yet to show what he’s capable of. Certainly, he had a difficult passage when 7th in the G1 Irish 2,000 Guineas a few days ago. |
10 | Mystery Power | Showed a lot of pace to win a G2 over 1400m on just his second career start. Will need to be sharp to win this after a 250 day absence. |
11 | Repartee | 3rd in a G2 on his penultimate two-year-old start and then unlucky not to beat a big field at Doncaster, meeting traffic problems. Up in trip for this 2020 return. |
12 | Ropey Guest | Didn’t win in ten starts at two, but ran plenty of good placed efforts in Group company including when only caught late on in a Newmarket G3. Proven at 1400m. |
13 | Symbolize | A close 4th of 21 in a 1000m Listed at this meeting last year and showed some class on both his other 2019 starts. Should handle this trip. |
14 | Ventura Lightning | The stable have a very good record in this and this guy ran well on his 2020 return in a Newcastle G3. But worries about this longer trip. |
15 | Final Song | A close 3rd in a 1000m G2 at this meeting last year, and other good runs followed including a good 4th in the G1 1,000 Guineas (1600m) this month. |
