Listed – 3000m – Turf

1 Praetorius Has decent winning form in staying events in Germany but generally that is not as good as French form, and he was well beaten at Chantilly in June.
2 Stag Horn Not short on stamina and led most of the way in Britain’s longest Flat race, at Royal Ascot. Winning possibilities for this consistent four-time winner, especially on slow ground.
3 Brokeback Mountain Came from the back to run a good third in a 3200m G2 at Hoppegarten in May, his last start. A consistent sort who always seems to do his best.
4 Good Question Has plenty of win and placed form but his fourth in a G2 over this course and distance last August was probably one of the best runs of his career.
5 Noa Lea Stepping up to a 3200m trip at Hamburg last time brought about a career-best performance, winning that Listed contest having previously been competing in handicaps.
6 Lordofthehorizon Has won his last two starts in Madrid, and proven effective over this trip. Generally speaking though Spanish form is much weaker than French form.
7 Karlstad Won a handicap over 3200m on heavy ground at Deauville last August. Generally good performances since.
8 Nagano Gold His three runs this season have come in a G3, a G2 and a G1 and he has been outclassed each time. He is also not yet proven at this trip.
9 Nao Da Mais A multiple G1 winner in South America in 2019 but yet to reach those dizzy heights in France. However a Saint-Cloud victory in June proves he can handle this trip.
10 Night Tornado Very effective in Poland where he gained his latest victory, over 2600m in July. Now needs to handle the deeper opposition that he is likely to encounter here.
11 Hopeful Suffered from illness but has come back strongly, winning his last two starts and just getting the better of a really tight finish at Longchamp. Up in trip. Slow ground ideal.
12 Tangut Ran quite a good second over this course and distance at last year’s Deauville meeting. She also won over 3200m at Dortmund on her latest start.
