4004m – Turf

1

Tritonic

Well beaten in Chester Cup over 3700m last month. Most racing and best form at shorter. Tough task.

2

Calling The Wind

Stays well. Placed in Queen Alexandra Stakes over 4300m in 2021 and 2022. In the mix.

3

Fleurman

Running well over 3300m on all-weather tracks earlier in year. Handicap mark now looks challenging.

4

Urban Artist

8-y-o. Won 3 from 15 on Flat. Respectable sixth in last year’s Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot over 4300m. Well beaten this year. Tough task.

5

Bring On The Night

Lightly raced 6-y-o. Not seen since excellent second in this race last year. Good chance if in same form.

6

Ahorsewithnoname

8-y-o. Winner of two good handicaps over 3300m last year before fifth in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket over 3600m. A leading contender.

7

Weston

Well beaten over 2000m on first run since left Germany. Bred to stay well but a difficult task.

8

The Grand Visir

9-y-o. Won this race 2019 and placed in Queen Alexandra Stakes over 4300m next two years. Not as good now and unlikely winner.

9

Solent Gateway

Fair performer. Has won at 3300m but well beaten when tried at further. Faces a tough task.

10

Pleasant Man

Respectable return to Flat after disappointing period hurdling. Not raced beyond 2800m. Improvement needed.

11

Zoffee

Narrowly beaten in prestigious Chester Cup Handicap over 3700m when returning from break. Good chance.

12

Irish Lullaby

Mixed form at up to 2800m. Well beaten latest run. Tough task.

13

Prince Imperial

Stays 3600m. Well beaten on return to Flat in April. Makes debut for new stable. Unlikely winner.

14

Throne Hall

Won two from 17 on Flat. Best at up to 2800m and not won beyond 2000m. An unlikely winner.

15

Novel Legend

An improving 4-y-o in fine form this year at up to 3700m. Can cope with raised handicap mark. Good chance.

16

East Asia

8-y-o. Not won since 2021. Well beaten over 2800m in April. An unlikely winner.

17

Law Of The Sea

Fifth in Queen’s Vase over 2800m at Royal Ascot in 2021. Running well for new stable this year at up to 3700m. Good chance.

18

Themaxwecan

Midfield in this race last year. Encouraging third over 3200m last month. Needs fast ground. Doubtful stayer.

19

Achnamara

Fair performer at up to 2900m. Needs to improve and doubtful stayer.

20

Zinc White

Returned from long break to win over 3700m at Chester last month. Probably needs soft ground.
