G2 – 1000m – Turf

1

Andreas Vesalius

Progressing nicely and won at Naas on third outing. Needs to improve again.

2

Cadamosto

Impressive winner of sole start, on all-weather track at Dundalk in April. Potentially very good and respected.

3

Go Bears Go

Showed above average ability when winning novice race over 1000m on debut at Ascot last month. Potentially useful.

4

Instinctive Move

Put up useful winning performance on debut in maiden at Bath last month. Potentially useful and respected.

5

Khunan

Creditable performances on each of latest three outings, winning one. Runner-up to promising Angel Bleu over 1200m at Pontefract latest. Perhaps not quite good enough.

6

King Of Speed

Reversed form with Barging Thru when narrow winner at Redcar last month. More improvement needed.

7

Korker

Good first effort when narrowly beaten by Project Dante in novice race at York after starting slowly but subsequently made hard work of winning when odds-on at Carlisle. An unlikely winner.

8

Little Earl

Sprint bred. Won maiden at Catterick before a respectable but well beaten runner-up to Ebro River in Listed race at Sandown. Needs to progress on faster ground.

9

Lucci

Trained in US by Wesley Ward, who won this race in 2013 and 2018. Easy winner of only start, over 1000m on firm going at Belmont last month. An unknown quantity but respected.

10

Nakatomi

Like Lucci, trained in US by Wesley Ward. Easy winner of only start, over 900m on dirt at Keeneland in April. An unknown quantity but respected.

11

Navello

More experienced than most and won three in a row, including stylishly at Chester. Favourite when third to Ebro River and Little Earl in Listed race at Sandown. Faster ground should help and a fair chance.

12

Perfect Power

Odds-on when won five runner maiden race at Hamilton eight days ago. This requires a lot more.

13

Project Dante

Promising start when won a novice race at York last month, just beating Korker. Will need to improve.

14

Second Wind

Two out of two so far, a maiden at Yarmouth and novice at Salisbury, both over 1000m, both after making all. This much tougher.

15

Straits Of Moyle

Well beaten last in sole start at Beverley last month. No chance on that form.

16

Twilight Jet

Interesting runner. Bought for £210,000 in April. Ran better than result reads in well contested G3 then won cosily at Tipperary. Could be useful.
