1600m – Turf
1 |
Power Of Beauty |
Nearly won a Listed event over this trip last year. Probably needed his only start this season. |
2 |
Mr McCann |
Tends to be ridden aggressively, most recently when fading out late on in a 1600m G2 in Cologne. |
3 |
Great Max |
Ambitiously campaigned last year, including twice competing in G1’s. Has struggled for his new stable in 2022. |
4 |
Malex |
Blinkered when competing in a G1 Classic at The Curragh last month, leading before fading out. |
5 |
I’m A Gambler |
Twice a winner earlier this season and, though disappointing last time, runners from this stable can bounce back after a poor show. |
6 |
Whoputfiftyinyou |
A closer and the likely brisk pace should suit. Unbeaten in four starts now but needs to survive a soaring handicap mark. |
7 |
Oneforthegutter |
Made some late gains over a longer trip than this at Epsom last time. Others preferred. |
8 |
Saga |
Led throughout to win a 1400m Ascot maiden last year but a very disappointing favourite here on his latest start. |
9 |
Ribhi |
Gelded recently, having not made a big impact on his last two starts. Not proven at this trip. |
10 |
Fiach McHugh |
Was dropped back in trip after racing too freely when second over this trip. Then won over 1400m at The Curragh. |
11 |
Claim The Crown |
A good third in a slow ground G3 at Longchamp over this trip last year. Much less good twice since. |
12 |
Harrow |
His three wins have come over shorter than this. Well beaten on last two starts. |
13 |
Spinaround |
Clearly effective at this trip with three smart efforts this season, latterly when winning decisively at Chelmsford. |
14 |
Tranquil Night |
Winner of all three starts in 2022 and especially impressive when surging clear over this trip at Newmarket in April. |
15 |
Sed Maarib |
First run for this stable, competing for a local stable at the last Meydan season, collecting some placemoney. Unlikely winner. |
16 |
Amortentia |
Improved form when winning a Naas handicap on his 2022 return. Trainer thinks he’s the right type for this race. |
17 |
Koy Koy |
Built on some good efforts last year when second – despite stumbling and then racing too keenly – around Chester’s tight bends last month. |
18 |
King Of Time |
Clearly progressive having won all three starts – all at around this trip – with improved performances each time. |
19 |
Yonafis |
Unbeaten in three all-weather starts, he now tackles turf but that is no problem according to his pedigree. |
20 |
Atrium |
Experience over the straight 1600m is useful for this, and he charged past rivals to win here last month. |
21 |
My Little Tip |
Doing his best work at the finish when third at Chester and seems to be peaking at the right time. But yet to run over this trip. |
22 |
Oh Herberts Reign |
Most winners of this are less exposed than this colt – a winner of three of his 13 starts. Good or slow ground ideal. |
23 |
Wanees |
Has won his last three starts, coming from off the pace to win at Sandown – when fitted with a hood – last time. |
24 |
Bolthole |
His last two starts – including when gradually getting on top at Newmarket last time – have been over around 2000m. May need further. |
25 |
Blenheim Boy |
Quickened clear of his rivals in a soft-ground handicap on his 2022 return. Will probably need slow ground here. |
26 |
Thesis |
Though second on all three starts this season, he hasn’t done much wrong. Handicap debut. |
27 |
Barley |
Racing prominently and has won his last two starts. Will stay further than this so the expected strong pace is a plus. |
28 |
Lawful Command |
Has shown a willing attitude to win both starts this season – over this trip at Goodwood. Handles any ground. |
29 |
Kitsune Power |
Stable have won this before, and he posted a career best when easily winning at Nottingham recently. |
30 |
Jimi Hendrix |
Came through late to win a Haydock handicap at around this trip last month. Just 4lb higher in the weights. |
|
Reserves |
|
31 |
Galiac |
This rise to 1600m might be helpful. Won at Goodwood before racing too freely at Newbury. |
32 |
City Runner |
Went clear in a 1600m Sandown handicap two starts back only to get grabbed late on. Much less good last time. |
33 |
Dream Show |
Bounced back to some of last season’s good form when dead-heating in a 1400m Newbury handicap. Now 5lb higher. |
