Artista

A four-year-old filly, she is quick from the stalls and likes good ground. Hasn’t conclusively shown this year that she belongs in this class.

Buddy Bob

Swedish raider. Surprise winner of 1300m Listed event in Germany in June, his best from to date. Has to prove that was no fluke to feature here.

Dishina

A full sister to last year’s winner of this. Third in German 1000 Guineas (1600m) but also effective over this shorter trip and was a course and distance winner as a two-year-old. Very interesting contender.

Fauvette

A five-year-old English-trained mare. Her best form was when fourth in a Haydock Listed event in May, never looking like winning. Hasn’t improved since.

Inter Approach

Polish raider. Winner of two small races in Poland this term. Hard to see him winning this.

Irish Action

Swedish gelding and surprise victor against one of the best sprinters in his native country in valuable Listed event on Dirt last time.

Kindred Spirit

Represents a powerful French yard. Was outclassed in a G3 in Deauville on her latest start. Has to do better even than her last German form when third in a Hanover Listed race.

Mina Maccari

Italian-trained she is very hard to assess. Winner of a handicap followed by good 4th in local Listed event at San Siro, not beaten far. This may be tougher.

Mister Applebee

Narrowly beaten by a classy filly in a valuable conditions’ race last time. That was an improvement on a modest effort in Listed company previously.

Pareias Prinz

Winner of a handicap over this trip last time. Big jump in class and quite inconsistent.

Waldersee

Second in this race last year. One of the best German sprinters. Needs good ground to be at his best, so conditions will suit. Last form on soft ground is forgiven.
