Newkidontheblock

Disappointed here as favourite latest, and on quite a long losing run. Ground / trip fine though and is on a handy mark, so cannot be ruled out.

2

Quiara

Won over course and distance earlier in the year but meets several rivals on much worse terms this time. Top team so hard to dismiss, but this doesn’t look easy.

3

Vamos A Marte

Has been running in World Pool races the last two starts and corrected a bad run with a place in Munich latest. Possibilities.

4

Shining Yellow

Hasn’t won since 2023 and mainly races in France. On a handy mark and top claimer booked. An encouraging second latest, albeit in lower class.

5

Hurrikan Roos

A winner over course and distance last season and on a decent handicap mark. From a small family-run yard who can ready winners so don’t dismiss.

6

Antas

Sole win came at small track but great run in second over course and distance latest. That was very encouraging.

7

Colin The Brave

Connections are no strangers to success at the highest level, but this fellow is hard to judge. Top jockey Adrie de Vries a big plus though.

8

Skipjack

Losing run stretches back to 2022 so hard to recommend.

9

Belisaire

Scored the first winner for his rookie trainer last time. Could still be on a manageable mark.

10

Invincible Royale

Already a two-time winner this season including with this rider last time, but may be vulnerable under new handicap mark.

11

Tamino

Has winning form this season and on a very dangerous mark, certainly weighted to beat some of these. Seems to go on any ground. Chances.

12

Tiffany Twisted

A winner over shorter on her last start. Hard to fancy here.

13

Kilworth Kate

1-12 but the sole win came from course and distance. That wasn’t bad form but hard to fancy here nonetheless.

14

Boherna Vista

This 3-y-o has her third start for this stable and, while hard to fancy on the face of it, has had various excuses in last two starts. Steps up to 1600m.
