1600m – Turf

 

Amedras

A convincing winner in class two grade on good to soft ground at Vichy, and very much a proven act at this level.

 

Anthorus

Has yet to turn the corner this season but solid showings at listed and group level give him every chance of doing so.

 

Brazilian Surprise

Improving filly with course winning form. Only beaten a neck in listed grade over course and distance last time.

 

Galord

Has gone up in the weights as a result of two wins in Class 2 handicaps, but expected to run his usual honest race.

 

Half Half

Boasts two handicap wins and not disgraced in a group attempt two starts ago. Each way chance.

 

Kengero

Third to a subsequent G3 winner in Listed grade at Nantes in June. Has been given some respite by the handicapper but disappointing last time.

 

Kiloecho

Fourth last year in this race and remains on a handy mark. This dual course winner ran a solid trial after closing strongly to be second here last month.

 

Lev

Gained solitary career win over this trip last season, and has blown hot and cold this term.

 

Loliwood

Down in the weights this season but has continually cut a bridesmaid figure. However, only once out of the frame in six prior attempts at Deauville.

 

Now We Know

Ended last season with two wins in the last two starts, and has showed enough in his two starts this season to suggest that he could be peaking at the right time.

 

Partenit

Only one win in eight attempts in France but not out of it if able to reproduce his 2022 fifth in the G3 Prix Perth.

 

Rock Blanc

Shrewdly campaigned, he continues to hold his form well at this level, and every chance of adding to two prior 2023 wins.

 

Sky Power

Has tumbled down the handicap. However, is decent on his day and could surprise off current mark.

 

Tumbler

Clearly well thought of as he was tried in a G3 earlier in career. Last seen out in February. Very lightly raced and one to note if attracting market support.

 

We Ride The World

Has excelled here in the past, and retains sufficient ability as denoted by a Class 2 win, on heavy ground, at Longchamp in May.

 

Wonder Boy

Gained confidence boosting win in a steadily run 1200m sprint at Le Lion d’Angers, but yet to win over 1600m.
