2200m – Turf

1 Murray Keeps surprising and clearly in good heart at present. New trip needs to bring out more improvement, otherwise vulnerable to better-treated horses. Jockey and trainer famously combined to win the German Derby.
2 Black Phantom Unbeaten this year. Couldn’t be in better form but clear chances despite being on a career-high mark.
3 Oak Ivy Tough mare who had a rare poor run last time.
4 Oak Lahoma The half-brother to Oak Ivy. Coming back in trip is a positive. Each-way possibilities.
5 Eau de Cologne Well beaten last over C&D in recent two starts. Hard to fancy here.
6 Tiara Hilleshage Full sister of mighty Arc winner Torquator Tasso, though much less talented. But not without hope in this company.
7 Westminster Eagle No chance in a Polish race latest, but form of his earlier win couldn’t be worked out much better. In top hands and clear chance.
8 Koffi Vulcano Consistent sort who is creeping up the weights. Needs to bounce back from a rare bad run. Stable out of form lately.
9 Asmira Made a mockery of her odds when winning her latest start. Handicap mark seems fair but comes up against older horses with good form.
10 Lorella Filly whose handicap debut resulted in emphatic win. This is tougher.
11 Manon des Bois A winner last year, but weaker runs since. Needs to improve on underwhelming seasonal debut and stable jockey rides Koffi Vulcano.
12 Margherita Luti Has won over C&D but needs to leave underwhelming seasonal debut behind.
13 Zakaria Fair form at this track three runs ago, and could run well at decent odds.
