All three of his wins have come at Brighton; well treated on last summer's ready 1m2f win but returning from an absence perhaps not the time to catch him.

Three wins at Brighton, the latest off 3lb lower in August (1m2f, good to firm); effective on AW and he is one to consider despite some unappealing form figures.

Runner-up at Brighton (1m4f, soft) last September but he's been out of sorts under both codes since including a remote fifth over hurdles at Plumpton last week; blinkers now return but he's 1-30 on AW and has plenty to prove back on the Flat.

Temur Khan

9st 3lb

J: Jack Doughty

T: Tony Carroll

10yo whose last win came in a classified at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) over a year ago; has struggled since and, while he wasn't beaten far when sixth of seven at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 20 days ago, others are preferred.

4 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
0-11 but the closest he's come was when second in a 1m2f handicap here last May; major contender if returning to that level but it's easy to have doubts on this year's form under both codes; more new headgear.

Modest Flat maiden; has shown some aptitude for hurdling this year but last month's fourth of five at Plumpton (2m4f, good) came in a very thin maiden; now bids to exploit 9lb weight-for-age allowance on chasing debut.

Two wins in the summer, one over hurdles and the other in a 0-50 classified event over C&D (good to firm); beaten a long way into fourth of nine back here (soft) last month and may need the ground to dry out, but a player if it does; tongue-tie given a go.

Won a maiden hurdle (2m1f, good) in June and a classified event over C&D last month; well held in a Lingfield handicap (1m4f, AW) last time but he still has potential after only eight starts and could resume his progress back on turf.

Had shown little on the Flat prior to winning a maiden hurdle in June and he badly let his many supporters down when beaten 14l returned to this sphere in a handicap here (about 2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) in July; put that behind him when winning a Brighton classified (1m4f, good to firm) 19 days ago, however, and he'll make his presence felt if up for it again.
