Bolchoi

From a top yard and unraced this season. However, he clearly has an affinity for this track (two wins and two seconds), and one to note if supported in the betting.

Deep Hope

Loves it here as underscored by three course wins. However, he does seem to have lost his way judged on recent form and looks up against it.

Dream Platine

This modest maiden has finished out of the numbers in all three career starts, and this looks to be a bridge too far.

Fang

This G3 winner didn’t have to force his talent when making a winning return over 1200m in July. Tops the ratings, and this coupled to a strike rate in excess of 40 per cent, make him the one to beat.

Josephino

Boasts winning form in the Czech Republic and Chantilly (at a lower level). Unplaced here on Tuesday and clearly this is tough for him.

Loubeisien

Admirably consistent at G3/Listed level last season. Has gone backwards since making winning return over this trip in March, although it would be unwise to rule him out.

Nesr Shalghoda

Has been enjoying a mainly productive campaign, which has yielded two wins and a creditable second at Chantilly. However, he folded all too tamely last time, and so point to prove.

Siam Paragon

Generally competitive at Listed level and on an upward curve until blotting his copybook last time in G3 at Deauville, but clearly capable of redeeming himself.

Sweetheart

Has twice made the frame in Listed grade this season over longer trips. Could well be in the mix again but appeals as more of a place prospect.
