Best Lightning

A regular in this sort of race, but found winning difficult since taking a domestic G3 in June last year and last in this in 2023. Yard in very good form though.

2

Elamaz

French raider and now a winner of his last four races in France, including at Listed Level. This is tougher but he represents major French connections and an international star jockey takes the reins.

3

See Hector

A winner at G3 level the last couple of years. Two runs at this track give no boost to his chances, however so will probably be an outsider.

4

Armira

Has progressed from small beginnings into a Stakes performer. Good second against her own sex at G3 level in June, though this is tougher.

5

Geography

Found wanting in German 2000 Guineas, but was very convincing when winning over this trip in a G3 latest. Chances.

6

Penalty

A rare son of Frankel in training in Germany. Well-backed when winning a G3 against elders in June this year. Very disappointing over 2000m in German G1 latest, a trip that stretched him. Down in trip now (2nd in German 2000 Guineas over this trip) and could bounce back.
