1

Houquetot

Has won three of his four starts, including a G3 over this course and distance last time. He responded admirably to pressure that day and has chances in this stronger event.

2

Misunderstood

A winner of both starts and his victory last month in a 1600m G3 here was stylish, leading almost throughout and stretching clear of some previous winners. Chance.

3

Field Of Gold

An impressive 1400m winner on his last two starts and, though he had to work to hold a strong finisher in a G3 at Sandown last month, this physically imposing colt looks a major contender.

4

Heybetli

Supplemented, this progressive colt handled the rise in grade when a strong finishing second to rival here Houquetot in a G3 over this course and distance last month.

5

Revolutionnaire

Others look more likely to win but this colt hasn’t done much wrong and was strongest at the end when a close third in a G3 over this course and distance last month.

6

Tiego The First

A 1400m Deauville Listed winner in July and made headway from the back to finish quite a close fifth in a 1400m G3 here last month. Wants a blistering pace to aim at.

7

Henri Matisse

Has already twice won G2s at the Curragh. But he is not a straightforward and hung when under pressure, finishing a close second in a 1400m G1 at the Curragh last month.

8

Rashabar

Landed an 80-1 shock when defeating 21 rivals in a 1200m G2 at Royal Ascot. Proved that to be no fluke when going close in a G1 at Deauville. No expected worries with 1400m.

9

Cowardofthecounty

Too strong for his four rivals in the closing stages of a 1400m G3 at Deauville in August. A brief forward move was never going to be enough in a G1 at the Curragh last month.

10

Camille Pissarro

Not short of class but has disappointed on a couple of occasions. Back to around his best when only just failing to win a valuable ‘Sales’ race at Doncaster last month.
