Capped off a superb 2025 with success in last year's Turf at Del Mar. Won Group 3 at Leopardstown this summer and then found only Tiffany too good in Grade 2 Turf Cup at Kentucky Downs back in September. Looks to have been brought along this season with this very much in mind.
|
Very smart colt who won the Irish Derby at the Curragh in June. Had limitations exposed against older horses twice since, however, his dam was a most impressive winner of the 2018 Juvenile Fillies' Turf and he's a player if putting his best foot forward.
|
A Grade 2 course winner as a juvenile who's improved markedly over 2026, producing a career-best effort when landing 6-runner Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Belmont earlier this month by ½ length from Far Bridge. Needs even more.
|
A long-standing dish in US graded stakes, winning 4 times over this trip. Won Grade 3 at Gulfstream Park in March on return and has only been seen once since, when chasing home Minaret Station in Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Belmont earlier this month. Hard to see him being involved.
|
Scored 3 times in 2025 and rounded off his campaign when third to Ethical Diamond in last year's running at Del Mar. Has yet to match those heights in 2 starts this season, latest when third to Minaret Station in Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Belmont last time. Needs to pull out more.
|
Smart performer on dirt and turf, landing Grade 1s on both surfaces. Completed 4-timer in Arlington Million at Colonial Downs in August. Below form in Grade 2 Turf Cup at Kentucky Downs when last seen in September. He still needs to take his form up a notch despite his earlier winning streak.
|
Took the Futurity Trophy as a juvenile and first wins since when landing German Group 1 and Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown the last twice. This is only his second start at the trip but he's not taken lightly.
|
Opened her account in a Leopardstown maiden in May before a close second in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot, and then winning the Irish Oaks at the Curragh. May have been unsuited by the softer ground in the Yorkshire Oaks at York when last seen and conditions should be more suitable here.
|
A remarkably well-travelled mare who has maintained her form, even in races outside of her own sex. Opened her account at this level when winning the Preis von Berlin at Hoppegarten in August and followed up in Grade 2 Turf Cup at Kentucky Downs from Ethical Diamond the following month.
|
Repaid some of the huge fee paid for her last year by winning 3 times this campaign, latest in Grade 1 at Saratoga in August. Run best excused when down the field in Prix Vermeille at Longchamp last month after saddle slipped. This looks a tough race.
|
Began her career winning first 6 races, 4 of them Group 1s, the latest of which was the Nassau at Goodwood in July. Placed last 2 starts, beaten just 1½ lengths into third behind Daryz in Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp last time. Big shout.
|
Proven himself a high-class colt this season, never out of the first 3 in 6 outings, sole success coming in Coronation Cup at Epsom beating Jan Brueghel by 10 lengths. Arrives on the back of placed finishes in the Arc at Longchamp and Champion Stakes at Ascot. Expected to be bang there.
|
Very smart horse. Made a winning return in Qatar Group 2 and backed that up by making the frame on last 2 starts, latest in Group 2 Kyoto Daishoten earlier this month. Place chance despite wide draw.
|
Won a couple of minor pattern races in France last year and ran creditably in defeat at the top level later in the season. Sole success this year came in Wolferton at Royal Ascot in June. Respectable neck second of 8 to Wimbledon Hawkeye in Group 3 Prix Gontaut-Biron at Deauville last time. RESERVE.
|
Useful horse. Won his last 2 races at a lower level at Kentucky Downs and Churchill Downs. Yet to race in graded stakes and plenty to find on form if getting in. RESERVE.

Diamond Necklace (3/1), Bay City Roller (5/1), Benvenuto Cellini (6/1), Burnham Square (8/1), Ethical Diamond (10/1), Tiffany (10/1), Johanna Walsh (12/1), El Cordobes (16/1), Minaret Station (16/1), Survie (16/1), Hotazhell (16/1), Map Of Stars (20/1), Far Bridge (20/1), Test Score (30/1), Telescopic (33/1), Deep Monster (33/1)
BAY CITY ROLLER has had a fine season and gets the vote to add another top-level success to his name. Diamond Necklace ran a fine third in the Arc last time, proving effective at this distance, and can chase the selection home from stablemate Benvenuto Cellini.
