G1 – 1200m – Turf

1 Elite Status Underpinned his stable’s good form with impressive win in a hot Listed race on his reappearance at Newbury. This highly regarded sort has leading claims.
2 Evade Just got home following an almighty battle in Epsom Listed contest over 1403m, but a lot more is required here.
3 Givemethebeatboys Admirably consistent, he continues to hold his own against the best, but appeals as more of a place prospect on the balance of form.
4 Inisherin Followed up his fine effort (sixth) in the G1 2,000 Guineas with impressive G2 win at Haydock. Supplemented for this and clearly primed for a big run.
5 Jasour Looked far more relaxed when coming off the pace to record an impressive win in G3 prep over course and distance in May. Very much a contender.
6 Kind Of Blue Bred for the job, he’s taking a big rise in class after winning both his two career starts to date. Clearly very well regarded, he may well tempt each way backers.
7 Lake Forest Upset the form book with 16-1 win in G2 at York in last August, but he faces no easy task on his reappearance.
8 Louis Barthas The only maiden in the race, his limitations were exposed at Newbury in May. Big outsider.
9 Malc Likeable sort who invariably puts his best foot forward. However, others may have more scope for improvement.
10 Military Clearly, well down the pecking order in top Irish yard, and hard to fancy despite two solid runs over around 1200m recently.
11 Orne Blinkers brought about an improvement when second in G2 at Haydock. Supplemented for this and clearly expected to go well.
12 Pocklington Not disgraced when surrendering his 100 per cent record in very decent Listed contest at Newbury (fifth) but is pitching at the deep end.
13 Starlust He went into a few notebooks after beating older horses in good style (handicap) at York in May. Has more to do here but is an interesting outsider.
14 Classic Flower The French visitor boasts a string of good efforts in Listed/G3 class this year, but probably needs to take another major step forward.
15 Pandora’s Gift Continues on a roll after four consecutive successes on the all-weather. The sky is the limit at present but an unknown quantity on turf.
