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.
