G1 – 2400m – Turf
| 1 | Rebel’s Romance | Few higher achievers anywhere and attempts to win this for the third time. Continues delivering, too strong for US rivals in a G1 in September. |
| 2 | Goliath | Stable having a phenomenal season and Goliath was back at his best with a powerful winning G1 victory in Germany. Strong contender. |
| 3 | Amiloc | Upward progression in the UK climaxing with a G2 Royal Ascot fast-ground win at this trip. Lost unbeaten record but good second in first G1. Possibilities. |
| 4 | Redistricting | A smart US turf performer and, though he couldn’t match the late pace of Rebel’s Romance in a September G1, could run into the money. |
| 5 | Rebel Red | Occasionally puts in a big show, coming close to a G1 Saratoga victory in August. Well held last time. Hard to fancy. |
| 6 | Wimbledon Hawkeye | Made up for some close UK misses to win a valuable G3 at Kentucky Downs. Del Mar’s tight track and likely fast ground expected to suit. |
| 7 | Silawi | Has hit top gear this year, notably when leading and then brave to hold on in a 2400m G1 at Woodbine. This is harder. |
| 8 | Minnie Hauk | A remarkable season almost ended in a tremendous climax, only just failing to win the Arc at ParisLongchamp. Huge chance if still at best. |
| 9 | Gold Phoenix | Ran well without threatening victory in this last year. Hard to fancy for a win but G2 victories on last two starts indicate that he’s in good shape. |
| 10 | El Cordobes | A European with US experience, winning a Saratoga G1 in August. Couldn’t reach Rebel’s Romance in a G1 last time but a good effort. |
| 11 | Rashabar | Unproven at this trip though with some stamina in his pedigree. Running well all year in Europe but without looking on the brink of a G1 success. |
| 12 | Tawny Port | Gained valuable victories earlier in his career and enjoying a revival, almost landing a G1 at Woodbine last time. Better rivals here. |
| 13 | Hill Road | Likely to struggle against the Europeans. Couldn’t make enough impact when favourite for a G2 last time plus trip worries. |
| 14 | Ethical Diamond | The mount of brilliant Hong Kong-bound Dylan McMonagle. Has decisively won top grade UK handicaps on his last two starts. Up in class but respected. |
