| 1. Chindit | Winner of five races from 7f to 1m on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft. Finished 8l behind Baaeed when fourth of 7 at 25-1 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes at Ascot over 1m (good to firm) earlier this month. |
| 2. Modern News | Can't knock the form with two wins from four attempts this campaign. Has a lot of early speed. A Kirby and C Appleby are a proven combination. Should be thereabouts. |
| 3. My Oberon | Returns from 10 week let-up. Looking for a hatrick after winning two in a row at Newcastle and Southwell. Has genuine early speed. Right in this. |
| 4. Perotto | Resumes from a 39 week spell. Capable of racing on speed and all four wins have come in the dry. Outside hope. |
| 5. Tyrrhenian Sea | Returns from 10 week let-up and won at Newcastle in first outing. Down in distance. Looking to others. |
