Ranked the eighth best race run in the world in 2024 in the World’s Top 100 Races, joint sixth in 2023 and previously as high as second in 2020, this year’s stellar cast is led by William Haggas’ reigning champion Economics, owned by race sponsor Sheikh Isa Salman Al Khalifa, Japanese globe trotter Shin Emperor and recent Irish Guineas winners Field Of Gold and Lake Victoria. 

Shin Emperor was only beaten a length when third behind Economics in last year’s renewal and his trainer Yoshito Yahagi has also entered the Grade 1 runner-up and dual Grade 3-winning mare Ravel.

Other notable overseas entries include the Francis Graffard-trained Calandagan, Owen Burrows’ Anmaat and the Ed Walker-trained Almaqam. John and Thady Gosden’s Damysus, a stable companion of Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas hero Field Of Gold also features along with Ralph Beckett’s duo, Pride Of Arras and Stanhope Gardens. 

Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Lake Victoria tops Aidan O'Brien’s team that includes the three-time Group 1 winner Los Angeles, French 2,000 Guineas winner Henri Matisse, and the stable’s big Epsom Derby hopes Delacroix and The Lion In Winter.
