Poet Master²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 117| D

9/1

Underlined his class when winning the Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh in July but underperformed behind Kinross in the Park Stakes subsequently. Not one to write off.

Form: 81-1515

Kinross²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 117| CD

9/4

Very smart and likeable stalwart over this distance who showed that he's every bit as good as ever when landing the Park Stakes at Doncaster last time. Ground conditions hold no fears and he's likely to put up a bold showing in his bid to land this again.

Form: 22-2831

(12)

Tribalist²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: M Barzalona| T: A Fabre| OR: 116| C| D

15/2

Genuine front-runner who added to a fine season when winning 7-runner Prix du Moulin de Longchamp at this course (8f, good to soft) 28 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Charyn, always holding on. Could take some pegging back if he gets loose in front.

Form: 0-1191

Tiber Flow⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 110| D

14/1

Smart gelding. Didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner Hungerford Stakes at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 4/1) 50 days ago by nose from Witch Hunter, just holding on. Likely to find at least one too good.

Form: 3-5F161

King Gold⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: S Pasquier| T: N Caullery| OR: 108| CD

40/1

Smart horse. 4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 47/1, 5¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Charyn in Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville (8f, good to firm) 56 days ago. Others have achieved more.

Form: -878196

Zerostress^b⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: T Bachelot| T: S Smrczek| CD

50/1

Useful horse. C&D winner. Latest win at Dortmund in June. 9¼ lengths ninth of 12 to Al Shabab Storm in Goldene Peitsche at Baden-Baden (6f, soft) 42 days ago. Plenty to find on form.

Form: -081029

(13)

Big Rock^v²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: C Soumillon| T: M Guarnieri| OR: 127| C

17/2

Smart colt. Course winner. Respectable 1¾ lengths third of 8 to Win For The Money in Woodbine Mile (59/10) at Woodbine (8f, firm) 22 days ago. Hasn't quite looked the force of old this season, so likely to come up short.

Form: 1-6053

Beauvatier⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: A Pouchin| T: Y Barberot| OR: 107| BF| CD

22/1

Smart colt. C&D winner. 18/10, good 1½ lengths third of 9 to Spycatcher in Prix de Meautry at Deauville (6f, soft) 42 days ago. More required.

Form: -20333

(17)

River Tiber⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 112

14/1

Smart colt. 5½ lengths ninth of 11 to Mill Stream in July Cup (7/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) 85 days ago. Hasn't gone on from an excellent return in the Irish Guineas but isn't without hope if his top handler has got him freshened up after a break.

Form: 133-389

Ocean Jewel⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 107| D

28/1

Useful filly. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at the Curragh in May. 3¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Mqse De Sevigne in Prix Rothschild at Deauville (8f, good, 21/1) 70 days ago. Difficult ask.

Form: 158-104

(8)

Breege⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 108| D

18/1

Smart filly. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 33/1, career best when winning 6-runner City of York Stakes at York (7f, good to firm) 43 days ago by 1½ lengths from Vafortino, kept up to work. Highly likeable sort who has a knack for turning up on the big stage.

Form: 317271

Matilda Picotte^b²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: James Doyle| T: K P Cotter| OR: 105| D

25/1

Useful filly. 12/1, 7 lengths fourteenth of 18 to Bradsell in Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh (5f, good) 21 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 1-58720

(3)

Gregarina⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: D McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 103| C| D

33/1

Useful mare. Course winner. 10/1, 6¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Poet Master in Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good) 77 days ago. Uphill task in this company.

Form: 757-104

(15)

Kelina²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: M Guyon| T: C Laffon-Parias| OR: 112| CD

12/1

Smart filly. C&D winner. 8¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Tribalist in Prix du Moulin de Longchamp at this course (8f, good to soft, 37/1) 28 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 19-366

(11)

Exxtra²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: R Thomas| T: C & Y Lerner| OR: 116| CD

16/1

Prix du Palais-Royal winner over C&D in May and has remained in form since, not getting a clear run when respectable 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Topgear in Prix du Pin at this C&D (good to soft) 21 days ago. Respected.

Form: -21224

(18)

Flora Of Bermuda²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 106

22/1

Speedy filly who won the Summer Stakes at York in July and has remained in form since, finishing with running left when fifth of 16 to Montassib in Sprint Cup at Haydock last time. Not without hope.

Form: 4-92145

(10)

Ribaltagaia⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: C Demuro| T: G Bietolini| OR: 105| D

80/1

Useful filly who has come up short since landing a listed contest at Chantilly in May and is likely out of her depth again.

Form: -613458

(6)

Ramatuelle¹⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Aurelien Lemaitre| T: Chr Head| OR: 114| BF

5/2

Smart filly. 15/8, creditable 2½ lengths third of 9 to Porta Fortuna in Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm), unable to sustain effort. Likeable, consistent sort who should be spot on for this after a break.

Form: 12-233

Forecasts

Kinross (11/4), Ramatuelle (7/2), Tribalist (6/1), Tiber Flow (8/1), Big Rock (10/1), Poet Master (10/1), Breege (12/1), Kelina (20/1), Exxtra (20/1), Matilda Picotte (20/1), Flora Of Bermuda (25/1), Beauvatier (25/1), River Tiber (25/1), Ocean Jewel (33/1), King Gold (50/1), Gregarina (50/1), Zerostress (50/1), Ribaltagaia (66/1)

KINROSS won this in 2022 and ran a cracker last year so, having confirmed himself as good as ever at Doncaster last time, he just about edges the vote over Ramatuelle, who has been saved for this on the back of an excellent third in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot. Tribalist is another obvious player if he can secure the early lead.
