G1 – 2400m – Turf
| 1 | Calandagan | Ideal opportunity to finally land a G1 after four consecutive seconds at the highest level. Last time out went down fighting, beaten only 0.5L, in the Coronation Cup over 2405m at Epsom. |
| 2 | Iresine | Unsuited by fast ground. Fourth in this race 12 months ago. The 2023 G1 Prix Ganay victor won in Listed company on his seasonal bow, well held on only start since in a G3 at Paris-Longchamp over 2000m. |
| 3 | Goliath | Sprang a surprise to land last year’s G1 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2392m) at Ascot, subsequent Arc heroine Bluestocking in second. Stylish winner of his prep race, a G3 at ParisLongchamp over 2000m. |
| 4 | Junko | The winner of the 2023 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Vase (2400m) at Sha Tin will strip fitter after two runs this season against inferior opposition. Has won in much softer conditions than he is likely to encounter here. |
| 5 | Aventure | Runner-up to Bluestocking in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe last October, the only filly in the race has definite claims if repeating that form. Tuned up for this test with two wins at G3 and G2 levels over shorter. |
