1

First Conquest

Twice a winner at Meydan earlier and two UK runs since have both been encouraging. Better suited to these race conditions than when fourth in a Haydock G3 in August.

2

Liberty Lane

Experienced, winning five of his 20 starts including a prestigious handicap over this C&D last year. His chance will be much stronger if the ground is riding slow.

3

Torito

Looked to need the run after an absence when down the field at Royal Ascot. Has had problems but the fact that top connections have kept him in training may be significant.

4

Damysus

Following a modest show in the Derby at Epsom he bounced back to win a 2000m Listed event at Deauville, showing brisk acceleration. Has live chances.

5

Gladius

Very effective over this trip as he showed when winning handicaps at Sandown and Goodwood this summer. Nothing wrong with his fourth when raised to G3 class at York.

6

Mister Rizz

Lightly raced so far, leading for much of the trip when third of eight in Listed company at Deauville, running well again when second at Goodwood. Needs a bit more to win this.
