The scratching of Sovereignty is a blow but there is still plenty of depth to the 2025 Classic. FOREVER YOUNG has clearly been trained with this in mind and his Saudi Cup success looks excellent form. Preakness hero Journalism can fare best of the 3-y-os, and of the rest, from last year's 1-2 Sierra Leone and Fierceness.

    Runner-up to Sierra Leone in last year's Classic. Has added 2 successes this season, warming up with a win over Journalism in the Grade 1 Pacific Classic over track and distance. Every chance to go one better.

    The reigning champ. Added the Grade 1 Whitney at Saratoga to his haul in the summer. Unable to reel in Antiquarian in Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup there last out. Needs everything to drop right and should get his strong pace.

    Verdict
    Winner of over $15m. Third on both visits to the US last year, including when behind Sierra Leone in this. His Saudi Cup defeat of Romantic Warrior in February looks strong form. Warmed up with a cosy success in native Japan. Serious chance.

    A very smart performer in his own right. Reeled off a graded treble earlier in the year, including the Grade 1 Churchill Downs Stakes and Stephen Foster. Lost rider early on last out and should give his running here.

    Preakness winner who doesn't have Sovereignty to tackle this time. Also bagged 2 other Grade 1s this year. Found Fierceness too good in Grade 1 Pacific Classic over this track and distance latest. Should get a good speed set up.

    Had to play a minor part behind Sovereignty and Journalism earlier in the season. Finally got his big day in the sun in the Grade 1 Pennsylvania Derby at Parx last out. Expect him to be rolling late.
