9st 1lb

J: Rhys Clutterbuck

T: Ian Williams

Yet to win in Britain and comes here after finishing well down the field in three valuable, big-field handicaps at Ascot this summer (6f-7f); on a good mark now but needs a good boost from the first-time visor.

Capable of useful form but came up well short in two handicaps at Royal Ascot (7f/6f) last month, taking record for current yard to 0-15; opposed in another hot contest.

J: Benoit De La Sayette

T: Ian Williams

Both wins in UAE but he ran to a useful level over 7f at Newmarket in April and did well to get as close as he did when a hampered fourth to Bielsa at York in May (6f, good); raced in the disadvantaged group when well adrift here on Thursday; still one to be interested in.

J: James Doyle

T: Ian Williams

Both wins in UAE and down the field in both C&D handicaps, including this one last summer; however he showed what can be done when a close third, after being slightly checked, to the subsequent Victoria Cup winner and Vafortino at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) in April; needs to show he can act on this track but might not be far away back at 7f.

0-12 for current stable but there have been some promising runs along the way, notably when tanking through a 7f handicap at Newmarket's Craven meeting before running into bit of trouble and unable to sustain his effort quite so well as the first two home; that form was well advertised in the Victoria Cup and although he failed to fire in a 6f handicap on 2,000 Guineas day, the rain-softened ground makes the run easy enough to forgive; appeals as the type to win a big sprint this year and he's a key player.
