Unplaced on his only effort on turf when making his debut. He’s raced thrice on the AW, and won two of three.
His reappearance this season running into third on AW finals day reads well, when looking to be quite fresh.
With that run under his belt, he could show more and he’s hard to write off, but he needs to show he’s ok on the turf.

He had a productive campaign last year, culminating in a G2 win from Hierarchy in second. He’s the second highest rating in this field, and I think that’s fair.
He’s very classy and seems to have a high cruising speed. Like all of these, he’s relatively unexposed and we’ll have to see if he’s improved, or regressed from 2-3.

Go Bears Go had a very good year last season, winning the G2 Railway Stakes at the Curragh on his third start and finishing with a cracking second in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint against some very fast American horses.
His form is probably the best on offer here and he represents a stable in great form so he has a better chance than most.

Smacked of a good horse on his first two starts then disappointed over 7f on his last outing of three last year. That run could be excused though, he missed the brake a fraction and is a keen goer.
He will need to settle better but he should get a relatively true pace here, not without a chance but needs to prove he’s as good as some think.

Hierarchy won his first two, and bumped into Wings Of War, finishing behind him on his next two outings.
He was another that went stateside to contest the Juvenile Turf Sprint and managed to finish in sixth after missing the start.
That run is best ignored as he had excuses but he did well in the circumstances. Needs to reverse the form with a few.
