G2 – 1000m – Turf
| 1 | Afjan | This French raider didn’t have much difficulty winning a 1100m unraced at Chantilly on this month’s career debut. |
| 2 | Ameeq | More professional on his second start when winning a Nottingham maiden. Much deeper waters here. |
| 3 | Charles Darwin | Has won his last two starts impressively, booking his ticket for this when leading throughout at Naas. A serious player. |
| 4 | Clear Force | Led throughout and clocked a decent time when scoring at Ripon but then a slightly disappointing favourite at Sandown. |
| 5 | Comical Point | Showed bright speed from the gate to win over 1000m on fast-ground at Salisbury in May. But that was not a strong race. |
| 6 | Exclamation | Much the best of his three starts was his latest when second at Chester, and the form of that race is looking quite strong. |
| 7 | First Legion | Surged from the back to win a 1200m York novice, then a bit unlucky not to win a Listed event over this trip at Sandown. |
| 8 | Graft | Improving with experience this French-trained colt won a 1000m Listed event at Chantilly early this month. |
| 9 | Hey Tru Blue | Drops down to 1000m and rises sharply in class after finishing second of 13 at Leicester on his debut. |
| 10 | Irish Fighter | Outpaced for some of the trip but finished well into second at Wolverhampton on his debut. Unlikely to be fast enough. |
| 11 | Lil Brother | Plenty of promise from both career starts so far, latterly when scoring at Nottingham last week. A good horse for a small stable. |
| 12 | London Boy | An expensive purchase who was well backed to beat some more experienced rivals at Brighton last week, winning nicely. |
| 13 | Naval Light | Expensively bought. Slowly away but made eyecatching headway to finish second in the same Beverley race the stable ran last year’s winner of this in. Interesting. |
| 14 | Sandal’s Song | A challenger from the US, he looked fast when winning over this trip on a quick surface at Gulfstream Park last month. |
| 15 | Star Material | Has improved race by race latterly when beating seven rivals over this trip at Ripon this month. In much deeper waters here. |
| 16 | Wise Approach | A 1000000 gns purchase who kicked off his career with a win over this course and distance. Didn’t look to improve for a longer trip at York, dropping back to 1000m now. |
