G1 – 1594m – Turf
1 | Arizona | Had a high class two-year-old career including a G2 win and G1 places. However his dismal return in this month’s 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket raises doubts. |
2 | Palace Pier | Moves sharply up in grade but there was a lot to like about the way he shot clear in the closing stages of a hot Newcastle handicap this month. |
3 | Pinatubo | The outstanding two-year-old of recent times but his third in this month’s 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket showed him as vulnerable this year. But he should be sharper now and is still much to be feared. |
4 | Positive | Career best run at two was a defeat of this month’s 2,000 Guineas winner Kameko in a G3 at Sandown (1400m), His trainer thinks that this similar track, stiff and right-handed will suit well. |
5 | Royal Dornoch | Proved himself at this trip at two, with a G2 Newmarket victory – beating this month’s 2,000 Guineas winner Kameko. He finished well behind in that race. |
6 | Threat | An exceptional two-year-old, justifying his trainer’s huge opinion with two G2 victories. Missed the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket to target this as his 2020 return. |
7 | Wichita | Excelled himself when only just caught by Kameko in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket this month. He will surely play a big part here. |
