G1 – 1600m – Turf

1

Chaldean

Top class 2-y-o last year, winner of G1 2000 Guineas last month. Leading candidate.

2

Charyn

Well beaten in G1 2000 Guineas before encouraging fourth in the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas. More progress needed.

3

Cicero’s Gift

Won 3 from 3. Impressive winner of Class 2 contest last month. Needs a big step up to win but respected.

4

Galeron

Improved this year, decent efforts in G1 2000 Guineas and G1 Irish 2000 Guineas. More improvement needed.

5

Indestructible

Has finished behind Chaldean three times, latest when well beaten in G1 2000 Guineas. Unlikely winner.

6

Isaac Shelby

Favoured by soft ground when winning G3 in April then narrowly beaten in G1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains. This will be tougher but respected.

7

Mostabshir

Well beaten in G3 in April but subsequently won a well contested Class 2 event at York impressively. Likely to improve further.

8

Paddington

Has improved rapidly and won G1 Irish 2000 Guineas convincingly. Has good acceleration. Leading candidate.

9

Royal Scotsman

Third in G1 2000 Guineas before running poorly when favourite for G1 Irish 2000 Guineas. Needs to recapture best form.
