Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
2nd	1	3	Avicenna (C) Created a very good impression when successful twice over 7f at Doncaster at the end of last summer, latterly edging out Hankelow in a listed event at the St Leger meeting. That reopposing rival boosted that form with a win in a C&D Group …	Ray Dawson	R Varian	3	58.1 kg	6.50 11/2
5th	2	4	Commander's Intent (C) Useful performer, winning a novice and nursery over 7f last summer. Ended his 2-y-o campaign with good runner-up efforts in listed/Group 3 events (all 7f). Will stay 1m but he looks vulnerable in this very strong line-up.	James Doyle	George Scott	3	58.1 kg	17 16/1
—	3	6	Hankelow (C) Night of Thunder colt who was highly progressive at 2. On the back of a York debut success he was edged out by Avicenna in 7f Doncaster listed event (good) before ending his season with a win in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes over C&D (good to …	C Lee	K R Burke	3	58.1 kg	5.50 9/2
—	4	5	Hawk Mountain (C) Only fifth on 7f debut last August but improved rapidly after, winning 3 times over 1m, including the Group 2 Beresford at the Curragh (soft) and Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (heavy; beat stablemate Action ½ length). Sets a good standard …	R L Moore	A P O'Brien	3	58.1 kg	3 2/1
3rd	5	2	Hidden Force (C) FAV Frankel colt who is 2-2 on all-weather at Kempton, latterly just pushed out to see off Venetian Prince by 1½ lengths in a 1m conditions event also won by the yard's 2024 2000 Guineas winner Notable Speech. Smart prospect.	W Buick	C Appleby	3	58.1 kg	2.10 11/10
1st	6	1	Oxagon (C) [P1] Frankel colt who confirmed debut promise when bolting up by 8 lengths at Sandown. Showed he's smart when second in the Champagne and fifth in the Dewhurst on next 2 starts and presumably failed to cope with heavy ground in the Futurity on …	Oisin Murphy	J & T Gosden	3	58.1 kg	2.75 7/4
4th	7	7	Venetian Prince (C) St Mark's Basilica colt who built on debut promise to land 10-runner novice at Newbury (7f) last August. Runner-up in 2 all-weather starts this year, showed improved form when beaten 1½ lengths by Hidden Force in a 1m Kempton conditions ev…	P J McDonald	A M Balding	3	58.1 kg	15 14/1
