Group Three Greenham Stakes Guide 2022

Five from eight last year including a G2 and two G1's. Angel Bleu confirmed himself as one of the leading 2y/o's last season, finishing a joint second to champion Native Trail in the official rankings.

There's probably a suspicion that he's a soft ground horse (2 G1's in France on very soft, and heavy ground), though he has won and placed on good to firm going.

He may have been incorrectly pigeon-holed with regards conditions, so it'll be interesting to see how he gets on against G1 animals on likely quicker ground. Leading player on all known form.

Gubbass impressed early in his 2y/o season, starting off with a win in novice company, beating Angel Bleu into third. He then won the ultra competitive Class 2 Super Sprint at Newbury in decisive fashion - beating smart horses.

However, he slowly tailed off after that, and he remains winless since the Super Sprint. Will need to get back on track here, but against this calibre of horse today, that's likely to be a big ask.

Flaming Rib was one of the busier 2y/o's last year, racing nine times, winning five. He has only been out of the first three once.

He finished off his season with an impressive win in the Doncaster Stakes (Listed) making all on soft ground (though he isn't ground dependant).

Prior to that, he had done most of his winning in Nursery's, so there's a lingering suspicion he might have just been a forward 2y/o.

Now with the new trainer at Manor House, Hugo Palmer, he will need to prove he has trained on, watching brief.

A Mehmas colt, who's done very well with his 2y/o's - Lusail is no exception. Twice a Group winner last year, he ran well and to a high level throughout his season, though he did blot his copybook when last seen finishing 4/4 in the Champagne Stakes.

You could potentially put a line through that as it was at the end of a long season against lesser exposed rivals, though it has to be a concern. Will need to prove his well being though he's definitely fine with regardless the level of this contest.

Perfect Power finished last season with a victory in the G1 Middle Park at Newmarket, winning comfortably enough, though the first 8/9 home were not far away at all.

He had previously won the G1 Prix Morny in good style too. Winning a G1 at 2 isn't an easy task, let alone two, along with a hot race at Royal Ascot.

He's clearly very classy, though there are some doubts at the trip, this extra furlong may not suit, so this is likely to be a fact finding mission, but he's definitely up there with the top 2y/o performers last year.

A winner of one race from six, though he has done most of his racing in group company. However, he hasn't really looked up to the class of group company as yet, but he did look half decent in winning his novice. Surely up against it from a class angle and he has a fair bit to prove.
