Kemari

Increasingly impressive in his three starts notably upgrading swiftly from a maiden win to a convincing G2 defeat of 12 rivals at Royal Ascot. Down in trip, but he’s classy with speed as well as stamina.

2

High Definition

Hasn’t run since a dismal performance in a G1 Irish Classic in June, though excuses were made. His previous third in a G2 here in May reads much better. The best probably yet to come from this big long striding colt.

3

Scope

Up in class but has only raced three times now having his first start since May. He appears to be gradually improving. Stable having a great season but a win would surprise.

4

Sir Lucan

No worries with this trip having won a Listed event over further in May. Finished well from off the speed when a close second in a Goodwood G3 recently. Chances here.

5

The Mediterranean

Stays this trip and, quite lightly raced, has chances of improvement. At long odds for a Longchamp G1 last time, he led before fading. Not an obvious winner, though.

6

Third Realm

Put himself into the Epsom Derby picture with a Lingfield Listed victory. Didn’t make a big splash at Epsom but he ran a decent third at Goodwood last time after being hampered.

7

Yibir

Looked improved for gelding when despite being too keen he won a 2600m G3 at Newmarket. Again too free at Goodwood last time, and will need to settle better here.

8

Youth Spirit

Although it was not a strong G3 he proved his stamina for this trip when winning at Chester, despite interference. Quite an encouraging fourth in a Goodwood G3 last time.
