2024: (9 ran) Kyprios ( 7 ) , Age 6 , Wgt 9-9 , SP 8/11 - R L Moore / A P O'Brien

Forecast: 1/2 Trawlerman , 5/1 Sweet William , 5/1 Stay True , 10/1 Al Qareem , 50/1 Saratoga

Last Updated: 20 Oct 2025 16:03:21

Having shared the spoils in six of the last 10 runnings, Aidan O'Brien and the Gosden stable look likely to dominate once more. St Leger third Stay True is an intriguing representative for the Irish maestro and he makes plenty of appeal in receipt of a 7lb weight-for-age allowance. However, the son of Galileo isn't certain to stay on his first attempt over 2m and 2023 British Champions Long Distance Cup winner TRAWLERMAN rates as the most solid proposition. The seven-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic season, making all in the Gold Cup here in June the highlight, and he can further cement himself at the top of the staying division. Stablemate Sweet William has hit the frame in the last two renewals and is the pick of the remainder.

Top Tip: Trawlerman (3)
Watch out for: Stay True (5)

Unbeaten in three starts since being gelded, WORDS OF TRUTH is straightforward and progressive. The son of Lope De Vega broke his maiden with a dominant effort over course and distance in July, before coasting home under a penalty in novices' event a Newmarket the following month. However, his power-packed finish when landing the Mill Reef at Newbury earmarked him as a horse of enormous potential for the future races open to him. He is hard to oppose here. Division is equally on an upwards trajectory, with last week's success in the Rockingham at York noted as the ready the pick of his three career wins so far. A likely pace angle, Sir Albert shouldn't be underestimated back over 6f, while the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy winner, Ardisia, remains on the upgrade and cannot be ruled out.

8yo has been a fine servant, with wins including this race in 2023 and last-time-out front-running Gr 3 Curragh success; needs to find a bit more on that to be a win contender this time.

Below-form in Longchamp Gr 1 latest, albeit with ground possibly too slow; there's a chance that a stiff, well-run 6f such as this will be ideal but needs a career-best.

7yo who can place in Gr 1s from time to time, as when second in this in 2022 and third in this season's July Cup; will be doing very well to match that sort of finish here though.

The sprint division has produced a whole host of different results this season and with a maximum field going to post, it points to another open affair, where it may pay to side with the talented MONTASSIB. William Haggas' charge caught the eye on his return to action at Newbury last month when staying on strongly for third over 5f. Going back up in trip should suit, having landed the Sprint Cup at Haydock last year, before subsequently a fast-finishing fifth 12 months ago. Big Mojo had the likes of Kind Of Blue (second) and Flora Of Bermuda (third) behind in this year's renewal of the Sprint Cup, and it may be that the aforementioned pair overturn that form in a race where they finished first and third in last year. Returning to the scene of his career-best success in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee looks like a major plus for Lazzat. He completes the shortlist with 2023 winner Art Power.

Top Tip: Montassib (9)

Last year's hero Kalpana bids to regain her crown after an in-and-out season. Andrew Balding's filly was turned over by Giavellotto in the September Stakes prior to finishing two places in front of Quisisana when only seventh in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Estrange has only found Minnie Hauk too good in three starts this year and connections were left disappointed after she scoped dirty before a tilt at the Arc, but she possesses plenty of ability and needs to be taken seriously. However, WAARDAH beat Danielle by just under a length in the Lillie Langtry at Goodwood in August, proving there are no doubts about her stamina. Owen Burrows' filly has been brought along steadily and could have plenty more in the locker on just her sixth career appearance.

Rare below-par run last time and, having been on the go since March, it's possible he needs a break now; some very smart early-season form (Gr 2 win; Gr 1 second) give him each-way shout.

He has won four times from 7f to 1m on ground varying from good to soft. Beaten 9l behind Sahlan at 15-2 when 9th of 12 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Qatar Prix du Moulin de Longchamp at ParisLongchamp over 1m (soft) last month. Has won at Sandown and Doncaster this season.

Three solid placed runs in 1m fillies' Gr 1s in the summer but less good last twice, albeit upped to 10f latest; tongue-tie first time; dam was second in this in 2018; looks vulnerable all told.

Successful twice at 7f on good to firm and good ground. Beaten 9l behind Barnavara at 11-1 when 11th of 12 on her latest outing in the Group 1 Prix de l'Opera Longines at ParisLongchamp over 1m 2f earlier this month.

This prestigious prize has gone back to France in two of the last five years. Facteur Cheval is their sole representative this term, but he was second in the corresponding event 12 months ago and wouldn't be out of this should any rain arrive. However, the antepost market suggests the trophy will stay on home soil this year, which could be courtesy of FIELD OF GOLD. Second in the 2000 Guineas before landing the Irish equivalent and the St James's Palace, the Kingman colt appeared to have a valid excuse when reportedly lame after disappointing in the Sussex at Goodwood. Freshened up since, this should be much more to his liking and, if taking official ratings at face value, the Gosdens can land this for the first time since Roaring Lion in 2018. Fallen Angel completed a hat-trick of Group 1 successes in the Sun Chariot a fortnight ago and must be given the utmost respect along with Docklands, who has yet to finish outside of the top three in seven visits here. Rosallion is undoubtedly from the upper echelons but has been a little frustrating this season, so the rapidly-improving City Of York hero Never So Brave could be a bigger threat.

2024: (11 ran) Anmaat ( 5 ) , Age 6 , Wgt 9-7 , SP 40/1 - Jim Crowley / Owen Burrows

Forecast: 13/8 Ombudsman , 9/4 Calandagan , 10/3 Delacroix , 12/1 Economics , 16/1 Almaqam , 20/1 Fox Legacy , 20/1 First Look , 20/1 Almeric , 100/1 Prague , 100/1 Mount Kilimanjaro , 100/1 Devil's Advocate

Last Updated: 20 Oct 2025 16:04:37

Ombudsman got revenge on Delacroix after his Coral-Eclipse defeat to turn the tables in an oddly-run Juddmonte International. The Gosdens' four-year-old benefitted from a fierce pace set that day and similar is expected with stablemate Devil's Advocate in the line-up. Aidan O'Brien described the York showpiece as a non-event and after Delacroix's victory in the Irish Champion next time, he may be proved correct, which would make it 2-1 in favour of Ballydoyle. Last year's runner-up Calandagan is bound to attract plenty of support, but a chance can be taken on FIRST LOOK. Andre Fabre's son of Lope De Vega is unbeaten since being gelded, most recently beating Bay City Roller in the Prix Dollar at Longchamp. There is a suspicion the four-year-old is the type his maestro handler does incredibly well with and he may just be peaking at the perfect time.

Off since down the field at Meydan six months ago, so fair bit has to be taken on trust; made too much use of when down the field in this in 2024; each-way chance if at his classy best.

Successful at 7f and 1m on good to firm and good ground. Beaten 10l behind Soul Rush when last of 11 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Race 7 - Dubai Turf Sponsored By DP World - Turf at Meydan over 1m 1f (good) in April.

Most progressive 4yo who has won two big 7f handicaps here most recently and is 1lb well-in under a penalty now; needs to show he's quite as good, returned to 1m now; big chance if he is.

He has won four times from 7f to 1m on ground varying from good to soft and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 9-4fav here over 7f (soft) earlier this month, beating Hickory by 1 3/4l. Carries a 6lb penalty today for that success. Has won 3 times this season.

Reliable sort who ran okay in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket last time, considering that he raced away from the favoured far side; looks a bit too high in the weights.

Good record when fresh so five-month absence for this 9yo isn't necessarily a negative; made all and won well in that last run but 6lb higher in stronger race now; others appeal more.

Has won eight races from 6f to 1m on ground varying from good to firm to soft and on the all-weather. A winner at 12-1 at Sandown over 1m (good) on his latest outing in May, beating Whip Cracker by 3 1/2l.

Won very well on only second start at 1m over C&D last time (soft; acts on good); this calls for more off 9lb higher but he's unexposed and improving, so a must for the shortlist.

He has won three times from 6f to 1m on ground varying from good to firm to soft. A winner at 13-2 over this course and distance (soft) on his latest outing last month, beating Mr Swivell by 2 3/4l.

Ran well last time but that run still possibly came too soon and chance in this really depends on the form of previous easy win here; drop back from 10f an unknown but respected otherwise.

Successful twice at 1m 2f on good and soft ground. Third of 21 behind Shaool beaten 2 3/4l at 10-11fav on his latest outing at Curragh over 1m 2f (good - yielding) last month. Has won at Ascot and Ayr this season.

Yard won this last year; form has definitely dipped lately and cheekpieces first time need to help him refind the form of three in-the-frame runs in top 1m summer handicaps (including here).

Successful at 1m and 1m 2f on good and good to soft ground, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten 18l behind Boiling Point at 20-1 when 18th of 23 on his latest outing at Newmarket over 1m 1f (good to firm) last month.

Yard has won three of last 10 runnings of race; running well again lately but bit more needed in this and though he acts on good, a slower surface suits ideally.

Having relished a return to a mile when scoring in good style over C&D last month, Shout merits respect on his current upward trajectory. However, three-year-olds have only managed one success in this contest since its inception 11 years ago and it may pay to focus on the older generation. Four-year-olds have proved triumphant in four of the last eight renewals, with NATIVE WARRIOR ticking plenty of the right boxes. Karl Burke's inmate arrives at the top of his game after scoring twice here in recent weeks, including the Challenge Cup last time, and he looks ready once again for the extra furlong. Arisaig has been far from disgraced outside of handicap company on her last two outings and makes some each-way appeal, while Great Acclaim has been shaping as if this longer distance could eke out further improvement.

Top Tip: Native Warrior (2)
Watch out for: Shout (12)
