Brave Emperor

Won G3 in Germany over 1700m then third in G3 in Sweden 11 days ago. Value of that form uncertain but respected.

2

Drumroll

Second to Paddington, subsequently winner of Irish 2000 Guineas, in Listed race. Awarded G3 at the Curragh over 2000m (suffered interference). Leading candidate.

3

Bold Act

Progressive and good second in Class2 Handicap over 2000m at Newbury in May. A good chance.

4

Bolster

Dominant victory in novice race over 2000m at Windsor 10 days ago. Difficult to assess level of ability. Interesting.

5

Canberra Legend

Won Listed race over 1800m at Newmarket in April but well beaten in good G2 over 2051m at York in May. Tough task.

6

Captain Winters

Narrowly beat higher rated opponents in weak four runner Listed race last month. On balance of form has tough task.

7

Dancing Magic

Has been highly tried – last four races all at Group level. Still a maiden after seven runs. An unlikely winner.

8

Dear My Friend

Won Listed race over 1605m before outclassed over further in G2 at York and G1 Derby at Epsom. This more suitable but still a tough challenge.

9

Epictetus

Good 2-y-o. This year respectable fifth in G2 over 2051m at York and same position in G1 French Derby at Chantilly. This now more his level.

10

Exoplanet

Came from last to be just beaten in third in good Class 2 Handicap over 2000m at Newbury in May. A leading candidate.

11

Killybegs Warrior

A series of creditable efforts until beaten a long way in Class 2 Handicap over 1600m at Haydock last month. Difficult to support.

12

Oviedo

Third in G3 as a two-year-old. Disappointing until recent success in Class2 Handicap over 2001m at Redcar. Needs further improvement.

13

Tony Montana

Second in a good novice race only appearance as 2-y-o. Third when odds-on favourite in similar race over 2000m when reappeared in May. Needs more but not ruled out.

14

Torito

Impressive winner of Class 2 Handicap over 2015m on fast ground at Epsom this month. A leading candidate.

15

Waipiro

Won novice easily over 2000m in April, second in Listed race, then well beaten sixth in G1 Derby at Epsom. Hard to assess. Not ruled out.

16

Caernarfon

Improved throughout career. Fourth in G1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket then third in G1 Oaks Stakes at Epsom. Versatile with respect to distance and ground. Leading chance.
