My No 1 Selection: Beautifully bred G2 winning 4 year old bay son of top line sire New Approach who is as yet untested on this track but excelled in England last start winning the 12F G2 The Longstickoboom Stakes, on turf, running a super fast SP 117. Conditions ideal. To be ridden by namesake jockey G Owans from gate 1. The monmouth yard have this bloke humming at the moment and gets his chance for G1 glory in one hell of a field, great chance here . ODDS 7/1

My No 2 Selection: Another beautifully bred G1 winning 4 year old bay colt by champion Japanese sire Deep Impact who is a winner on this track and a 12F G1 winner , ideally suited in this event. To be ridden by one of his favorite jockeys in K Ledwith from gate 3. Rounded out his previous successful campaign with a great 2^nd in the 12F G1 Sand Castle Golden Turf Classic running a swift SP 116. His astute trainer sent him for a well deserved rest before resuming to easily win an 11F Allowance race on this track. Will have derived great benefit from that run and looks cherry ripe. Well trained and looks a super winning chance. ODDS 6/1

Refined looking Graded placed, Stakes winning 4 year old bay filly by promising sire Symboli Kris S who has had 1 run on this track without showing up but has run 2 very good 2nd’s in G2 company over this trip against the boys. Her last 2 wins were in Stakes company against her own sex but has proven she can run with lads. To be ridden by M Kiprusoff from gate 4. High class filly that failed to fire last start and this no easier. Would prefer her back against fillies and mares but cannot dismiss entirely. ODDS 11/1

To be ridden by once again by F Gossett from gate 5. Bonny filly that holds no fear against the boys, always give her best and can be relied upon to be in the finish, great winning chance.

This well-bred, lightly raced Graded placed, Stakes winning 4 year old chestnut colt by highly capable sire Rock Of Gibraltar out of the wonderful producing G3 winning mare No More Options is as yet untested on this track but ran a fantastic 2^nd last start in the 12F G2 The Longstickoboom Stakes , on turf, running a fast SP 115, looks well placed in a tough race. To be ridden by O Brim from gate 6. Another high class colt on the up who must be respected. ODDS 13/1

This well put together Allowance winning 4 year old son of capable sire Dylan Thomas is a 12F place getter on this track but looks hopelessly outclassed. To be ridden by J Sands from gate 7. Will be the despised outsider facing some of the best stayers in the game, not today. ODDS 113/1

Another well bred G1 winning 4 year old light grey colt by capable sire Holy Roman Emperor out of the fine producing G3 winning mare Project Elocat who is as yet untested on this track but has won over 12F at G1 level, conditions look good in a tough contest. To be ridden by R Gibson from gate 8. Good staying colt now rock hard fit after 3 runs from a spell. This fine trainer of stayers has his charge in great shape going into this and can figure prominently, good winning chance. ODDS 13/1

To be ridden by T Loesch from gate 11. This colt can unleash an amazing sprint at the end of his races, with an ounce of luck can win his 1^st G1 and it won’t be his last if he does. ODDS 12/1

To be ridden by A Rolling from gate 12. This magnificent horse is going for 7 wins on the trot, a great training effort. I am loath to leave him out of my selections but can’t tip them all, lol.

Another lightly raced, beautifully bred G1 winning 4 year old bay colt by boom sire Sea The Stars who blitzed a quality field last start, winning the 12F G1 The Coronation Pilsner on this track, perfectly placed once again. To be ridden by M Scott from gate 13. Drawn awkwardly but has the pace to get in a good position and will be highly competitive in an open race. A mouth watering colt with a big future ahead of him.

This horse rounds out the field and another spectacularly bred, G1 winning 4 year old bay colt by world champion sire Galileo who is as yet untested on this track but was unbeaten until last start including a great win in the 12F G1 The Grand Brazilian, on turf, running a fast SP 114. To be ridden by T Ace from gate 14. Booming colt who blotted his copy book last start but pulled up well so the Deyoto stable has backed him up here. Still lightly raced and you can’t win every time right ??? Looked sensational his previous run so must rate a big chance here even though he has drawn the car park. ODDS 12/1

I could easily add 3 more to the list

1^st place = EASTERN APPROACH

2^nd place = MACUNDO PROFUNDO

3^rd place = LONDON GUILDHALL

4^th place = SEACASTLE CALL

5^th place = ALBIORIX
