1

Galen

A front-running G3 winner at the Curragh in April. Chances here on that evidence and may try to boss early again.

2

Liberty Lane

Winner of a prestigious UK handicap off top weight last September, and a Listed winner latest. Chances.

3

Military Order

Struggled at Sandown last time. This trip is right but he may be best on an all-weather surface now.

4

Phantom Flight

Last two wins came after powerful finishes at Bahrain in January. Very capable at this level if at his best.

5

Ambiente Friendly

Would have a huge chance if close to the level when second in last year’s Epsom Derby. Way below that level recently.

6

Checkandchallenge

His last win came in Listed company over 2000m at Newmarket in November 2023. But mostly running well this year.

7

Ecureuil Secret

This huge horse came back from a break and being gelded to post a clear personal best, surging clear in an Epsom handicap. Chance.

8

Enfjaar

Good efforts last year, two handicap wins and a close Listed second. Wants a strong gallop, and likely to get that here.

9

Haatem

Close to winning the Irish 2000 Guineas last year, then landing a 1400m G3 at Royal Ascot. Lots of class but stamina needs proving at this trip.

10

Haunted Dream

Only four wins from 29 starts on turf but a good second in this in 2024. Last seen when fourth in a valuable event in Saudi Arabia.

11

King’s Gambit

Near misses in G3 and G2 company last season. Hasn’t quite matched that since and clearly not at his best at Newbury in May.

12

Meydaan

Coming back to this trip and a gelding operation looks to have helped judging by his close Listed second at Goodwood in May.

13

Passion And Glory

Competing over a variety of trips, doing best this year when second over further than this at Meydan. Slow ground wanted.

14

Sons And Lovers

Very effective at this trip, ran a solid fourth to some G1 class rivals in a G2 at the Curragh last month.

15

Torito

Good efforts at Royal Ascot for the last two years, including a third in this last year. He did have prep runs both times, but not this year.

16

Doha

Outgunned 23 rivals in a handicap over the straight 1600m at Royal Ascot 2024. Effective over this trip also. Worth considering.
