G3 – 1993m – Turf

1 Al Musmak Excellent 2-y-o campaign at up to G2 level. Last over 2051m in G2 at York last month. Needs to show he has trained on.
2 Bellum Justum Won Listed race over 2015m before outclassed at Epsom in G1 Derby Stakes. This more suitable.
3 Bracken’s Laugh Won 2 of 4. Creditable second in Listed race over 2064m in May. A leading contender.
4 Caviar Heights Improved to win five-runner Listed race over 2000m impressively then well beaten in G2. Needs to resume progress.
5 First Look Best form yet when second in G1 Prix du Jockey Club over 2l00m this month. Excellent chance if copes with faster ground.
6 Jayarebe Readily won Listed race when stepped up to 1800m. Subsequently beaten favourite when too keen over 2064m. Needs to restore reputation.
7 King’s Gambit Returned from break with a bang in May, won impressively Handicap over 2000m. Leading contender.
8 Portland Useful but not up to Group level. Won Listed race over 2400m on 6 June. Return to shorter may not suit.
9 Sons And Lovers Fair form over 1600m. Step up in distance likely to produce improvement. In the mix.
10 Stromberg Steady performer. Encouraging second over 2000m in G3 at the Curragh in May. An outside chance.
11 Taraj Returned from break with improved performance, third to subsequent Derby Stakes third, in G3 over 2000m. A good chance.
12 Under The Sun Not seen since midfield finish in G3 over 1990m in April. Tough task.
