Leg 1: Chindit vs. Regal Reality
Chindit and Regal Reality are set to battle it out in the opening leg. Chindit, who previously triumphed over Light Infantry in the Lockinge, is expected to shine. Meanwhile, the solid Regal Reality is a reliable bet for the podium.
Leg 2: Denmark and Naqeeb on Top
Denmark, who finished second in the Melrose at York, is favored to come out on top in the second leg. Naqeeb, hailing from top-class Baaeed's family, is also one to watch. William Haggas hopes he can prove himself as more than just a handicapper.
Leg 3: Caius Chorister and Aztec Empire Set to Impress
Caius Chorister, who impressed in his last outing at the Ebor, is expected to perform well in the third leg. Aztec Empire was unlucky last time out but could make a strong showing with a drop in distance.
Leg 4: Shaquille Looks Unbeatable
Shaquille, after triumphant wins in the Commonwealth Cup and July Cup, is the horse to beat in leg 4. With a strong performance despite missing the break, Shaquille is a firm favorite.
Leg 5: JM Jungle and Copper Knight Look Promising
JM Jungle, known for its success at Haydock, is expected to be a strong contender in leg 5. Copper Knight, just shy of victory at York, is also in the running to make the frame.
Leg 6: Macduff and Al Musmak Ready to Shine
Macduff, a hot prospect after a debut victory, is predicted to show improvement in this longer trip. Al Musmak, with a debut win and a good second-place finish at Ascot, is primed for success once again.
