LORDANO (1) bids for a third Silbernes Pferd success after winning this prize in 2023 and 2025. He was only a neck and a head behind the winner when third in a Baden-Baden Group 3 and remains the benchmark. WALDNEBEL (6) was beaten half a length over 3300m on heavy turf in a Listed race at Mülheim. His stamina makes him dangerous. HELVETIOS (9) finished third behind the selection in the German St Leger and is evidently suited by testing ground. The three-year-old tries 3000m for the first time. ANSPRUCH (2) won a 3200m Listed race before taking sixth in the Group 1 Prix du Cadran. This is a more realistic assignment.
