Listed – 2005m – Turf

1 Buckaroo Best yet when close fourth in G1 Prix d’Ispahan over 1850m at Longchamp last month. A strong contender.
2 Foxes Tales Sixth in this race last year. Mixed form since. Needs to be at his best.
3 King Of Conquest Improved this year and won two close finishes against useful rivals. Likely to be involved again.
4 Royal Champion Improved over 2000m last year, winning Listed race at Ayr impressively. Soft ground against him when well beaten in G2 last month.
5 Bolshoi Ballet Not won and lightly raced since 2021 but back to form when narrowly beaten in G3 over 2400m last month. Interesting.
6 Cadillac Second in this race last year. Returned to form when winning at Epsom this month. Acts well on fast ground.
7 Certain Lad 7-y-o. Midfield in this race last year. Not won since 2020. Needs to do better.
8 Checkandchallenge Never raced beyond 1600m. Finding G1/G2 level tough. Decent chance if copes with extra distance.
9 Francesco Clemente Would have won all four races but failed to negotiate bend when just beaten in Listed race over 1979m at Goodwood. Leading contender.
10 Highland Avenue Not won since 2021 but creditable efforts at G3 level this year. In the mix.
11 Notre Belle Bete Career best when third in competitive handicap last month over 1800m. Usually races at shorter. In the mix.
12 Poker Face Big rise in handicap mark after impressive end to last season. Creditable runs in G3 and G2 races since. In the mix.
13 Raadobarg In good form for new stable but never raced beyond 1800m and has to show that it suits him.
14 Saga Just beaten in Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot last year over 1600m and on reappearance at Newmarket over 1800m last month. A strong contender.
15 Savvy Victory Won 2 from 15. Distant last in handicap over 2015m at Epsom this month. An unlikely winner.
16 Solid Stone 7-y-o. Third in this race in 2021. Not quite as good as he was and faces some talented younger rivals.
