KIND OF BLUE has gone from strength to strength in his first season, just failing behind Montassib in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock 6 weeks ago. He's since changed hands privately and certainly has the pedigree for this race, being related to the yard's 2011 and 2016 winners Deacon Blues and The Tin Man. There is probably a bigger performance in his locker and if he handles conditions he seems sure to go well. French-runner Beauvatier, 2022 winner Kinross and Montassib are firmly in the mix.

    Very smart and likeable performer who won this in 2022 and was edged out by Art Power last year. Arrives in top form following victory in the Park Stakes at Doncaster and another second in the Prix de La Foret and looks set for another big performance.

    Verdict
    Has come a long way since winning his first two in the spring, taking another big leap forward when just failing behind Montassib in the Sprint Cup at Haydock 6 weeks ago. From the family of The Tin Man and Deacon Blues, both winners of this race for the stable, and looks poised for another big run.

    Verdict
    Won his first 4 starts in his homeland last year and placed on all bar one of his runs since, ending up with a lot to do when third in the Prix de La Foret at the Arc Meeting a fortnight ago. Goes well in the mud and an interesting contender, representing different formlines to the principals.

    Group 3 winner at York last year and better than ever when narrowly beaten in the QEII Jubilee here and July Cup at Newmarket (headed late on by Mill Stream) this summer. Another not seen to best effect in the Haydock Sprint Cup and she forms part of a mighty challenge for Karl Burke.

    Much improved in his second season, winning 6f listed and Group 3 at Newbury, clear of Kind of Blue in the latter. Not seen to best effect drawn away from the main principals in the Haydock Sprint Cup last time and could have a bigger effort in him at the top level.

    Verdict
    Has gone from strength to strength this year, taking the Wokingham over C&D before good runs behind Flora of Bermuda at York (third, not seen to best effect) and stablemate Montassib and Kind of Blue at Haydock. More needed again to take a hand here but it's not impossible.

    Verdict
    Made all (raced apart from rest) in the Lockinge at Newbury on reappearance and quickly back to his best when defying a penalty in Group 2 Lennox at Goodwood, beating Art Power and Kinross. Off day when odds on for York Group 2 latest and has rare crack at 6f now with the ground probably not ideal.

    Verdict
    Thrived this time last year, taking the Portland and Group 3 over C&D, and added another win to his tally in Group 2 in the Middle East in February. Likely to be at his peak following 2 comeback runs last month, seeming to find a bare 5f against him at Newbury, and not dismissed back here.

    Verdict
    Fared best of those held up when just over 2 lengths behind Art Power and Kinross in this last year and added another Deauville Group 3 to his tally this summer. Good run at the Curragh latest and conditions have come right for him again so no surprise to see him outrun his odds.

    Has form figures of 4481 in this race, finally landing the big pot he'd long promised when beating Kinross 12 months ago. Form mixed this year but was a good fourth in the July Cup and no surprise to see him go well here again with conditions in his favour.

    Has blown hot and cold this year but ran well in the Group 3 Bengough over C&D a fortnight ago, a race she won in 2021 when also fifth in this. Fourth behind Montassib and co in the Haydock Sprint Cup but she'll do well to better that here.
