G1 – 1982m – Turf
1 |
Above The Curve |
A 2000m G1 winner at Longchamp last year, gaining her second G2 victory with an efficient front-running display over 2100m at Saint-Cloud in May. Ran out of gas late on when third in a G1 at The Curragh. |

Al Husn |
A successful handicapper last season and now thriving in stronger company. An Ayr Listed winner in May before taking the notable scalp of Nashwa in an all-weather G3 at Newcastle. |

Nashwa |
An energetic performance saw her win this last year. Fast ground then but this excellent filly is versatile in terms of surface and distance, and surged clear of her rivals in a 1600m G1 at Newmarket last month. |
4 |
Blue Rose Cen |
Proving a real star in France this season, winning two G1 Classics for fillies on her last two starts and especially impressive when routing her rivals as she stepped up to 2100m at Chantilly. Big chance. |
5 |
Caernarfon |
Her two wins have come in handicap and Listed company. A terrific third in the G1 Oaks at Epsom but couldn’t build on that with a less good show at Royal Ascot. Would be a surprise winner. |

Never Ending Story |
A very testing surface would provide her best chance as she had shown a good attitude on heavy ground to win a G3 at Leopardstown. But not proven at this trip and well beaten on her last two starts. |
