G2 – 1000m – Turf

1 Andronicus Beau Sprint bred and reasonable debut 4th at Newcastle where showed pace but faded. Needs a lot more.
2 Cooperation Did better on second run five days ago when runner up in small race at Newmarket. Will need to do a lot better.
3 Emirati Dirham Better than appears on paper in latest run six days ago at Doncaster. Finished 3rd after awkward at start and not clear run towards finish. A live outsider.
4 Eye Of Heaven Travelled powerfully and picked up well when winning on debut at Newmarket this month. An appealing prospect.
5 Get It Good effort when runner-up to Eye Of Heaven at Newmarket. Should go well but will be hard to turn the tables.
6 Golden Pal Wesley Ward won this race in 2013 and 2018 and have to respect Golden Pal, a close 2nd on debut over 900m at Gulfstream Park. Will favour fast ground.
7 Imperial Force Promising debut when runner-up over 1200m at Newmarket this month. Gives him decent chance.
8 Jojo Rabbit Cheap yearling won small race easily at Wolverhampton recently. Speedy but this much tougher.
9 Lipizzaner Aidan O’Brien going for fourth win in race with US$650,000 yearling. Twice 2nd in maidens. Runs suggest 1000m on fast ground may suit him.
10 Macho Pride Won small race on all-weather at Newcastle but this is much harder.
11 Nelson Gay Cheap yearling. Well beaten 3rd to The Lir Jet at Yarmouth and hard to see him reversing that.
12 Papal Bee Unraced. Cheap yearling and would cause shock if won.
13 The Lir Jet £8,000 yearling who broke course record on debut at Yarmouth. Won well but probably a weak race. A lot still to prove.
14 Ventura Tormenta Richard Hannon, father and son, have won race four times between them but a formidable task to win this on first appearance.
