Overseas Expert Column by Bill Esdaile The 2,051m International Stakes is often one of the highlights of the UK Flat Season and this year’s renewal looks no different. MISHRIFF was comfortably beaten in the G1 Eclipse Stakes over 1,990m, but he was returning from a 97-day absence there and may not have been at his best. His performance next time out in the G1 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes over 2,392m at Ascot is a better guide to his ability, where he ran a fine race for second over a trip that may have stretched his stamina. MISHRIFF has done most of his winning over 2,000m so the drop back to this trip is a positive. He is versatile ground wise and should be able to confirm Ascot form with LOVE. LOVE struggled on her racing against colts at the Ascot’s G1 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes, and it is a concern that she looked outpaced there off the home turn, as MISHRIFF swept past her on the outside. She stuck to her task and kept on well towards the finish, but this drop back in trip will test her tactical speed even more and she looks worth taking on with that in mind and got the third place at the end. She also looks best on fast ground, so any rain would be a negative. The unknown quantity here is ALCOHOL FREE, a filly that brings probably the best form into this race. When winning in the G1 Sussex Stakes over 1,600m she seemed to hit the line strongly in what was soft ground at Goodwood. That gives hope for her stamina lasting out over this new trip at a flat track like York, but on pedigree there must be doubts about her getting home. Her class should ensure she goes close, but there may be a few who finish more strongly. ALENQUER came home well from an unpromising position when third in the G1 Grand Prix de Paris over 2,400m and considering he came from off a slow pace it is an effort that can be upgraded. Back at 2,051m, William Haggas’ colt could improve if given a more positive ride. MAC SWINEY, as he showed when winning the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas over 1,600m, is a different horse on soft ground. If the rain came, he would become interesting. SELECTIONS: 2. MISHRIFF, 7. ALCOHOL FREE, 3. LOVE & 4.
