Verdict

MILITARY ORDER has been off since running at Bahrain last year but is strictly the one to beat on form. Geryon has had a reliable year on the whole and looks the biggest danger to the selection, while Charles Fort can fill out the places.

2	Very smart gelding who has an excellent strike rate on the all-weather. Has proved at least as effective on turf, making the places in Group company on last 3 starts in 2025. Off 10 months but that's rarely an issue with this yard, who are in tremendous form. Sets the standard. 1st Pick 2 Military Order (Ire) Jockey: William James Lee Trainer: Charlie Appleby J: William James Lee T: Charlie Appleby	100	-	-	-	32%	85/40

3	Gained a deserved first success at pattern level in the Meld Stakes at Leopardstown (9f) in July before a very good second in Gordon Stakes at Glorious Goodwood 2 weeks later. Better than result in Strensall Stakes at York last month, making effort earlier than ideal. Type to bounce back. 2nd Pick 3 Geryon (Ire) Jockey: C. T. Keane Trainer: G. M. Lyons, Ireland J: C. T.

7	Useful 6f winner as a juvenile and improved to make the places on both starts this year, second in Royal Whip at the Curragh in August and third in Solonaway Stakes at Leopardstown earlier this month. Goes over the longest trip he's faced on all-weather debut and holds place claims. 3rd Pick 7 Charles Fort Jockey: W. M. Lordan Trainer: Aidan O'brien, Ireland J: W. M.
