Charming Thought (Charlie Appleby) gained a figure of 118 with a thrilling nose success in the Group One Vision.ae Middle Park Stakes over six furlongs.

Richard Pankhurst (John Gosden) ran to a mark of 116 when beating Toscanini (Michael Halford) decisively in the seven-furlong Listed Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot in June.

Territories (Andre Fabre) was rated 114 after his unlucky second in the seven-furlong Group One Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp, France, in October, while Maftool (Saeed bin Suroor) was awarded a mark of 112 following a decisive win in the Group Three Somerville Tattersall Stakes at Newmarket the previous month.

Lucida (Jim Bolger) featured among Europe's leading two-year-old fillies with a rating of 111 after a good campaign that included a comfortable success in Newmarket's Group Two Shadwell Rockfel Stakes over seven furlongs in late September.
