Nunthorpe A-Z
Benbaun: Well held in the July Cup latest but he's proven at the highest level and could go close if on song. Rating (out of 10) 7
Borderlescott: As brave as they come and rarely far away but he looks vulnerable in this company on quick ground. 6
Captain Gerrard: Something to prove at the top table, but still open to improvement and hard to rule out. 8
Dandy Man: Third in this event last year and another bold bid looks assured, but others are preferred for top honours. 7
Desert Lord: Group 1 winner in France in 2006 and second in this race 12 months ago, but little of note since. 5
Equiano: Unexposed 3yo who won the King's Stand at Royal Ascot. Strong impression that was no fluke and he's since joined Barry Hills. 10
Flashmans Papers: Well-regarded 2yo from same stable as Kingsgate Native. Deserves a crack at this prize but he will need major improvement. 6
Kingsgate Native: Famously landed this race as a juvenile last year and he won another Group 1 at Royal Ascot in June. Fancied to go very well again. 9
Moorhouse Lad: Group 3 winner at Goodwood last term but he has plenty to find with the principals here. 3
National Colour: Interesting South African raider who won two Group 1s on home soil. Cannot be underestimated. 8
Percolator: Flying filly who can boast four wins from six starts. Second in a French Group 2 latest but may have to settle for a supporting role again. 7
Prime Defender: Very talented sprinter but hasn't won since May 2007 and has proved a little frustrating. Might run into the money at rewarding odds. 6
Sakhee's Secret: Star sprinter of last year, winning four times. Disappointing last time but every chance back down in trip on favoured fast ground. 9
Shyrl: Runner-up in the Queen Mary on her second start but form has been below that since. Very stiff task tackling older horses here. 5
CONCLUSION: National Colour is a lively outsider and Sakhee's Secret is feared, but Equiano can take the spoils.
