Closest to Minnie Hauk on ratings, although that rival has the benefit of race-fitness and a fillies allowance; made all to beat subsequent three-time Group 1 winner Ombudsman at Sandown (1m2f, good) last season but had the benefit of a run; good placed efforts in Group 2s at York (10.5f, good) and Longchamp (1m4f, good to soft); signed off last term with a cracking run to take third in a Group 1 at Ascot on Champions Day (1m2f, good); there is likely more to come to this term from the British raider.

SR 116 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Finished last in two starts following his Dundalk maiden win; much improved effort as a pacemaker to Minnie Hauk at the Curragh last time, when holding onto the runner-up spot; supporting role here once again.

SR 89 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Beat the top-class Delacroix in a Leopardstown Group 2 as a 2yo (1m, good); sixth in the 2,000 Guineas before making all in a Leopardstown Listed race in June (1m1f, good); respectable efforts in the Irish Derby here (1m4f, good) and in a York Group 2 (10.5f, good); shaped as though he would improve over his return in a Group 3 here last time when fading into fourth (1m2f, soft); a good bit to find with the top ones here all the same.

SR 101 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Rose through the ranks last season, winning back-to-back handicaps at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) and Sandown (1m2f, soft); took the next step forward when landing Group 3 honours at Sandown (1m2f, good) on seasonal return (a race commonly won by high-class performers); enters the big league now but further improvement is by no means ruled out for a four-year-old having just his eighth start.

Showed improved effort here last time when beaten 6.5l behind Minnie Hauk (1m2f, good); that was a step in the right direction but it's still hard to see him playing any major role.

SR 89 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Last year's top-rated filly worldwide; won the Cheshire Oaks, the Classics at Epsom and the Curragh and the Yorkshire Oaks; at least matched her best effort when touched off by Daryz on soft in the Arc, well clear of the remainder; perhaps one race too many when underwhelming at the Breeders' Cup; picked up smoothly to win a Group 2 by 1.75l here on seasonal return (1m2f, good); this is a bigger task, and it's not unfair to say her ideal trip is further than this, but she's the most likely winner.
