Group One Commonwealth Cup Stakes Guide 2024

Won 3 times as a 2yo last season including a group 3 at Deauville and was also placed at this meeting in the group 2 Norfolk Stakes.

Made a successful return this season beating Relief Rally over 6f at Newbury and he is a big player.

Won on debut over 6f last season before being beaten in group company on his next 3 starts in France.

Made a stable switch to Archie Watson this season and made a winning start to life for new connections when winning a 7f listed race at Epsom.

This requires a lot more however down in trip and upped to group 1 company.

Placed in the group 2 Coventry Stakes at this meeting last year before finding group 1 company a step too far in two runs after.

Made a successful start to life as a 3yo winning a listed race at Navan and found only Bucanero Fuerte too good next time.

Big each way player if taking another step forward.

Started life over 1m and won a novice event on the all weather before running in the 2000 Guineas when down the field.

Connections decided to drop him down to 6f after that and he duly bolted up in the group 2 Sandy Lane at Haydock (soft)

Heads the market here but would be a slight worry about his turn of foot on this much better ground.

Won twice last season as a 2yo including the group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket.

Kind of lost his way in group 1 company after that but did make a successful return this season winning a group 3 here.

Plenty more on his plate now back in a group 1 and may just be out of his depth.

2 from 2 so far both in novice events.

Form of both races not up to this level but he is a progressive colt and interesting to see how far he can go.

Had 5 runs last season all over 6f and did manage to bag a 6f group 2 at York.

Form not worth a whole lot and he needs to of improved a lot over the winter to be involved in this.

Hasn't won in two career starts and was way behind Elite Status at Newbury last time.

Totally out his depth.

Won on debut as a 2yo last season and was 2nd behind Valiant Force in the Norfolk last season.

Has ran well in 3 runs including when behind Elite Status on his return.

Work to do now to reverse the form with that rival and even that might not be good enough.

Made a winning debut last season and has ran well in 7f and 6f contests since.

Has been beaten by a few of these however and although he is respected he is easy enough to pass over from a win perspective.

Won twice as a 2yo from three starts and has been kept busy this term already having had 6 starts ranging from 6f to 1m.

Was behind Inisherin last time at Haydock and doubt he will be breaking his 2024 duck here.

Won twice on the all weather at the turn of the year and ran well first time on turf when beaten 5l by Elite Status.

Plenty of scope to improve on turf and gets the first time visor.

Needs a lot more here though but could run well at a huge price.

Fairly consistent sort who has already had the 12 starts so far. Latest of those was a handicap win at York over 5f.

6f here will be no problem but more exposed than his rivals.

Finished 2nd on all 3 starts this season over 5f.

Step up to 6f here is no problem but she does need more on the form book.

Won her last 4 starts all on the all weather. Latest of those wins came in a listed race at Chelmsford 50 days ago.

Needs loads more here on first try on turf upped to group 1 company.
