Circus Maximus²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 123| D

12/1

High-class colt. Five wins from 16 Flat runs. Ran poorly when 8¾ lengths tenth of 14 to The Revenant in Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot (1m) 21 days ago. Merits consideration on pick of form.

Form: 4-12330

Kameko⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 122| D

4/1

High-class colt. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 85/40, career best when winning 6-runner Joel Stakes at Newmarket (8f, good) 43 days ago by ½ length from Regal Reality. Shortlist material.

Form: 1-14441

(3)

Lope Y Fernandez²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Dettori| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 117

12/1

Very smart colt who wasn't disgraced when 3 lengths seventh of 16 to Glen Shiel in Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot (6f, soft) 21 days ago, outpaced over 2f out. Worth another try at 1m.

Form: 302377

(4)

Siskin⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 119| D

8/1

Very smart colt who completed 5-timer when winning Irish 2000 Guineas on reappearance in June. Ran his first disappointing race in Prix du Moulin de Longchamp last time. Should bounce back.

Form: 111-134

(5)

Digital Age⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Javier Castellano| T: Chad Brown| OR: 111| D

12/1

Smart colt who produced a career best back up in grade when winning 10-runner Turf Classic Stakes at Churchill Downs (9f, firm) 63 days ago, suited by strong pace. This asks for more.

Form: 854-211

(6)

Safe Voyage³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 115| D

16/1

Very smart gelding. 3 wins from 6 runs this year. 35/10, creditable neck third of 9 to One Master in Prix de la Foret at Longchamp (7f, heavy) 34 days ago. Seems sure to give his running.

Form: 214113

(7)

Casa Creed³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Junior Alvarado| T: William Mott| OR: 110| D

33/1

Smart colt. 106/10, respectable 2½ lengths fourth of 9 to Ivar in Shadwell Turf Mile Stakes at this C&D (firm) 35 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere in this company though.

Form: 31-3734

(8)

March To The Arch⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Tyler Gaffalione| T: Mark Casse| OR: 115| D

40/1

Smart gelding. Latest win at Woodbine in August. Creditable length second of 8 to Starship Jubilee in Woodbine Mile (27/10) at Woodbine (8f, firm) 49 days ago. This is tougher.

Form: 330612

(10)

Halladay⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Luis Saez| T: Todd Pletcher| OR: 115| D

14/1

Took another step forward to win 9-runner Grade 1 Handicap at Saratoga (8f, good, 53/10) 77 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Got Stormy, keeping on well. More needed again but not to be underestimated.

Form: 1-41141

(11)

Ivar³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Joseph Talamo| T: Paulo Lobo| OR: 117| D

5/1

Form: 11-5131

(12)

Uni³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Joel Rosario| T: Chad Brown| OR: 118| D

11/2

Very smart mare who bounced back to form to win 5-runner First Lady Stakes for a second year running over this C&D (firm, 24/10) 35 days ago by length from Beau Recall. Not taken lightly.

Form: 311-371

(13)

Factor This³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Florent Geroux| T: B Cox| OR: 117| D

10/1

Form: 111121

(14)

Raging Bull³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jose Ortiz| T: Chad Brown| OR: 119| D

14/1

Very smart horse. Latest win at Santa Anita in May. Creditable length second of 9 to Ivar in Shadwell Turf Mile Stakes at this C&D (firm, 30/10) 35 days ago. May have a say.

Form: 24-1352

Forecasts

Kameko (4/1), Ivar (5/1), Uni (11/2), Siskin (8/1), Factor This (10/1), Circus Maximus (12/1), Lope Y Fernandez (12/1), One Master (12/1), Digital Age (12/1), Raging Bull (14/1), Halladay (14/1), Safe Voyage (16/1), Casa Creed (33/1), Order Of Australia (40/1), March To The Arch (40/1)

SISKIN has been given a decent break since disappointing in the Prix du Moulin at Longchamp and is taken to bounce back with a bang. Kameko defied a penalty in gritty fashion against a pair of older rivals who were on song at Newmarket, so he's considered a big threat, along with last year's winner Uni.
