G3 – 1600m – Turf
| 1 | Sahlan | Only just caught in a 1600m G3 at ParisLongchamp in April. Hot favourite for a Listed race at Chantilly in June but just lacked a finishing kick. |
| 2 | Selenien | A Chantilly polytrack winner in March. Never looked like winning a 1600m ParisLongchamp G1 Classic in May but made late headway after a slow start. |
| 3 | Chibitty | Rising in grade now but does look on the improve judging by the way he accelerated clear of seven rivals in a Compiegne handicap in June. |
| 4 | Khafiz | A Newmarket-trained gelding who has won both starts this year, albeit narrow victories in novice company. Rises in trip and it will need to help at this G3 level. |
| 5 | Ciaran | Second, though well beaten, in a 1600m G2 German Classic in Cologne, then finishing fast for a close second in a 1600m G3 at Milan. A fast pace would help him here. |
| 6 | Al Aali | Ran a positive second in an 1800m G3 at Chantilly in May. Didn’t run badly – though never looked like impacting – in the French Derby subsequently. Down in trip. |
| 7 | Heybetli | Has looked vulnerable in G1 company on his last two starts so no surprise to see him dropping back to G3 company, finishing a respectable fourth at this level in April. |
| 8 | Scoville | On just his second career start this well-bred colt led throughout to demolish his rivals over 1600m at Newmarket. A big rise in grade now but his trainer rarely makes mistakes in placing his horses. |
| 9 | Tiego The First | A three-times winner including in 1400m Listed company here last year. Probably a career best when only just beaten in 1600m Chantilly Listed company last time. |
| 10 | Madero | Supplemented, he is a two-times winner who has been tried over a variety of trips, most recently when a close third in 1600m Listed company at Chantilly. |
| 11 | Silius | Won three straight races over 1500m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer early this year. Two good placed G3 efforts followed, though not so effective in a 1400m G1 here last month. |
| 12 | Tito Mo Cen | Twice a good winner on the Chantilly polytrack early this year. Nothing much wrong with two G3 efforts since but more needed now, possibly helped by this drop down in trip. |
