G2 – 1200m – Turf
1 | Comical Point | From the stable that won this last year. But this colt will need to race in a more relaxed manner than when much too free in front at Newmarket last time. |
2 | Do Or Do Not | No wins yet but a succession of improved efforts and placed in G2 company on his last three starts. Tried 1400m last time but it could be a plus to be back at 1200m now. |
3 | Egoli | Has won two of his four starts – including a maiden over this C&D. Faded in a Goodwood G2 last time but an excuse was that he was racing on an unfavourable part of that track. |
4 | Irish Fighter | This rise to 1200m will need to help significantly. Always prominent but not quite good enough late on in a valuable race at Newbury last month. |
5 | Lifeplan | A €165,000 yearling purchase who made a winning debut, over 1200m in novice company at Thirsk last month. Worth a try at this much more challenging target. |
6 | Reciprocated | An expensive purchase who won his first two starts in the style of a decent recruit. Then a poor effort when tried at 1400m at Ascot, fading right out. Better expected here. |
7 | Rock On Thunder | Made an impressive winning debut and has run to a similar level on his later two starts, latterly when second in Listed company at Newbury. But a bit more needed. |
8 | Yorkshire Puds | Some promise on his debut run but then struggled badly at Goodwood. The shock would be huge if he won this G2. |
