G2 – 1200m – Turf
1 |
Andesite |
Has only raced once but that was a victory in a novices’ event over this course and distance in May, the form of which has worked out quite well. |
2 |
Big Mojo |
Progressed from an encouraging first start to upset some much better fancied rivals in a 1000m Goodwood G3 as a maiden. This 1200m should suit. |
3 |
Billboard Star |
Hasn’t done anything wrong so far, and his second in a 1200m G2 at Newmarket in July has been enhanced by the subsequent G1 success of the winner. |
4 |
Caburn |
Has won both starts and though only gaining narrow victories each time he has given the impression that he is sharply on the upgrade, outspeeding a big field for a valuable Newbury prize last time. |
5 |
Camille Pissarro |
Disappointing when favourite at Royal Ascot but his other three runs all indicate that he is a serious player here. A close second in a G3 at the Curragh last month, the winner landing a G1 since. |
6 |
Cool Hoof Luke |
A winner on his debut and has delivered two good efforts in stronger races since, latterly when third in a 1400m Goodwood G2 but not helping his cause by racing much too keenly. |
7 |
King’s Call |
Led from gate to wire when landing a 1200m Ayr novices’ event on his debut. Outpaced when down to 1000m for a Goodwood G3. This looks tricky but a return to 1200m may help. |
8 |
Shadow Of Light |
Up in grade but his two wins in maiden and novice company were both eye-catching. Latterly he immediately responded to his jockey’s demands for a comfortable Newmarket 1200m win. |
9 |
Symbol Of Strength |
Improved from his first to his second start when too strong for two better fancied rivals in a 1100m maiden at Ayr last month. This is a much stiffer challenge. |
10 |
The Strikin Viking |
Blessed with lots of speed and only beaten 1/2l in G2s at the Curragh and Goodwood on his last two starts. Facts and figures from those two performances make him a serious contender here. |
