Master of The Seas
Charlie Appleby James Doyle
15-1
Trainer: Charlie Appleby

May not have cared for the going when distant seventh behind the premier European milers Baaeed and Palace Pier
2
Smooth Like Strait 102
Michael McCarthy Umberto Rispoli
6-1
Trainer: Michael McCarthy
Jockey: Umberto Rispoli
Strategic blunder last out when engaged with longshot front-runner, his nemesis Mo Forza seems to have his number
3
Space Blues
Charlie Appleby William Buick
5-2
Trainer: Charlie Appleby
Jockey: William Buick
Euro sprinter favored off G1 romp in 7f race won previously by beaten BC Mile faves Make Believe, Limato in 2015-16

20-1

5
Vin de Garde
Hideaki Fujiwara Yuichi Fukunaga
30-1
Trainer: Hideaki Fujiwara
Jockey: Yuichi Fukunaga
Would need to improve off his eighth-place comeback in Japan, benefits returning to shorter mile distance
6
Mo Forza 106
Peter Miller Flavien Prat
5-1
Trainer: Peter Miller
Jockey: Flavien Prat
Possibly third-best winning City of Hope Mile vs. bad-trip rivals, uncertain if brilliant as a year ago, uncertain he is not
7
In Love 104
Paulo Lobo Alex Achard
8-1
Trainer: Paulo Lobo
Jockey: Alex Achard
Must be taken seriously after impressive come-from-behind G1 at Keeneland, first BC mount for jockey Alex Achard
8
Hit the Road 100
Dan Blacker John Velazquez
10-1
Trainer: Dan Blacker
Jockey: John Velazquez
Still no higher than third-ranked turf miler in California, but cannot deny brutal trip when third behind 'Forza and 'Strait
9
Mother Earth 86
Aidan O'Brien Ryan Moore
12-1
Trainer: Aidan O'Brien
Jockey: Ryan Moore
Group 1-winning European filly received accolades for rapid come-home when fifth last out behind top-class milers
10
Blowout 103
Chad Brown Joel Rosario
20-1
Trainer: Chad Brown
Jockey: Joel Rosario
Front-running mare employs aggressive style, will contest pace as far as she can, got swallowed only try vs. G1 males
11
Got Stormy 109
Mark Casse Tyler Gaffalione
12-1
Trainer: Mark Casse
Jockey: Tyler Gaffalione
Classy mare won G1 turf mile vs. males two back at SAR, runner-up in 2019 BC Mile and won G1 Mariarch DMR same year
12
Pearls Galore
Paddy Twomey Billy Lee
10-1
Trainer: Paddy Twomey
Jockey: Billy Lee
European filly was G1 runner-up to Space Blues in first against males, missed by head in G1 vs. fillies two back, upset threat
13
Casa Creed 105
Bill Mott Junior Alvarado
20-1
Trainer: Bill Mott
Jockey: Junior Alvarado
Would not overlook at a big price, his G1 Jaipur win and wide-trip third in G1 Fourstardave put him in the thick of it
14
Ivar 104
Paulo Lobo Joseph Talamo
30-1
Trainer: Paulo Lobo
Jockey: Joseph Talamo
Neither start this year indicates return to oustanding 2020 form, tough task exacerbated by outside post
15
Real Appeal (AE)
Jessica Harrington Shane Foley
30-1
Trainer: Jessica Harrington
Jockey: Shane Foley
Group 2 and Group 3 winner Leopardstown in Ireland, probably cut below UK and France quality, respect sharp form

Andrew Balding James Doyle
30-1
Trainer: Andrew Balding
Jockey: James Doyle
Difficult to endorse off last-place comeback in G2 in England, long ways from former home in South Africa
