G1 – 2392m – Turf

1

Above The Curve

Had a subsequent dual G1 winner behind her when she led for most of the way to win a G2 at Saint-Cloud in May, and not beaten far in four G1s since. She handles any ground.

2

Free Wind

Well beaten in the Arc at Longchamp, though she was eased down once her chance had gone. Only just failed to win a G1 at York previously. That was on fast ground but she’s won a G2 on soft ground.

3

One For Bobby

Has run pretty well on all four starts since moving to this stable, including a Listed and G3 victory. Probably stays this trip and handles slow ground but the stable have been short of winners lately.

4

Poptronic

An outsider for G1s on her last two starts, and decisively beaten each time. She had shown courage to rally and win a G2 at Haydock previously but probably wants faster ground than is likely here.

5

Stay Alert

Finished last in this race in 2022. An excellent second in a G1 at The Curragh in July, but two subsequent inferior efforts leave her with something to prove here.

6

Term Of Endearment

Comes here on an upward curve and posted a clear personal best when strolling to an easy G3 success at Cork in August, looking very comfortable on the slow ground there.

7

Time Lock

A late maturing filly who is really coming into her own and delivered an eye-catching display as she surged clear in a G3 over this trip at Newmarket last month. Good chance if she handles this ground.

8

Bluestocking

Looked sure to win a G1 Irish Classic at The Curragh in July only for the hot favourite to rally and pass her. Will have good chances here if repeating that effort, and slow ground certainly suits.

9

Jackie Oh

Only just failed to hold a brilliant French-trained filly in a 2000m G1 at Longchamp, another excellent effort. Expected soft ground suits perfectly. She now just needs to prove herself at this longer trip.

10

Red Riding Hood

Given a positive ride and in a first-time tongue-tie she won an 1800m G3 at The Curragh in August but could not build on that at the same track subsequently. An unlikely winner.

11

Rue Boissonade

A big filly who will be helped by a fast gallop at this trip. First run outside France where she twice ran really well this year over this trip at Longchamp including a G2 victory in July.

12

Running Lion

Her four wins have come over shorter distances but she did prove herself on soft ground when easily landing a 2000m Listed event at Newmarket in May. The stable have a strong record in this.

13

Sea Of Roses

Facts and figures suggest that her form is not good enough to make a serious impact here, and her only win has come in maiden company. Her supporters will be hoping for very slow ground.

14

Sweet Memories

Looks like one of the serious players with this lightly raced and progressive filly looking to enjoy this trip and the soft ground when winning a Listed event at Newmarket in August.
