Listed – 1600m – Turf

1

Excellent Truth

Stays further than this, having won a 2000m G3 over here last year. Probably needed her first start for 252 days when a close fourth at Longchamp. Chance.

2

Turn Cartwheels

Twice a winner including in Listed company at this trip, but her current form does not suggest that she has a strong chance here.

3

Atakama

Two starts this year, first when a fair third in a Listed event at Dortmund and then when quite a close seventh in a Chantilly handicap. More needed.

4

Naomi Lapaglia

UK-trained but was tried in Listed fillies’ company in France on her last two starts of 2023, making late headway each time without looking like winning.

5

Suviana

Got to within a head of winning a 1500m handicap under top weight at Saint-Cloud last month, an encouraging effort.

6

Back See Daa

From a UK stable in good form and with plenty of success when they raid French prizes. Some solid form last year and a winner at this trip. Probable excuses on her 2024 return at Royal Ascot.

7

Secretive

Won her first two career starts but has been struggling to gain another success and well behind in a Chantilly handicap last time.

8

Long Ago

Looked promising when winning twice in the UK in June 2023. Then became disappointing but two placed efforts since moving to France were encouraging.

9

Belle Et Grise

Has had a break since her best run for some time when a close fourth in a strong-looking 1400m Listed event at Longchamp in April.

10

Piensa En Mi

Briefly looked like winning a 1600m Listed event at Milan on her latest start, still running a good second. Has stamina so a strong pace would help.

11

Persian Jewel

Won a maiden over this trip last year but has had several lengthy absences in her career so far. Didn’t show much at Chantilly in May.

12

Aversa

A busy career with three wins from 27 starts, the most recent victory coming last month when she just got the better of a tight finish at Saint-Cloud at odds of 44-1.

13

Rose Prick

Ran really well in an Ascot handicap in May, probably in front too soon and nailed by a closer late on.

14

Left Sea

Has been competing at a higher level than this – at a G1, G2 and G3 level – on her last six starts. Has won in this grade so this class drop may well. May try and grab an early lead.
