1

Dorset

A maiden winner under a front-running ride over this C&D in June but then only fifth when favourite for a 1400m Goodwood G2. Will need to settle better this time.

2

Gstaad

An impressive winner of his first two starts, notably thrashing 19 rivals in a Royal Ascot G2, then only just beaten in a Deauville G1. Up to 1400m, no worry according to his trainer. Big chance for this scopey colt.

3

Italy

Beaten into second in G2 and G3 company on his last two starts, though both races represent strong form. A brisk pace would help him to shine.

4

North Coast

The mount of a bang in-form jockey, this colt returns from a 52-day break since proving himself a very good prospect with a front-running runaway 6L victory at Leopardstown.

5

Saba Desert

Unbeaten in two starts and has had a 64-day break since landing a 1400m fast-ground G2 at Newmarket in July. The stable has won this three times in last ten years.

6

Zavateri

Unbeaten in three starts, getting better and better according to the figures. Following a Newmarket G2 win, he again showed terrific pace for a Goodwood G2 victory despite an imperfect trip.
