Form & Verdict
Better than ever since joining the Crisfords from Andre Fabre, winning a useful handicap at York in October and running a cracker when short-headed in the Listed Churchill Stakes over this C&D last month; had three of today's rivals behind him last time, and on the same terms he looks the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Won the Winter Derby over C&D in February 2021 but could manage only fourth of seven in a deeper contest this year; might have needed the run after nearly nine months off when fifth in the Churchill Stakes here five weeks ago but has plenty to find today with reopposing Algiers and Harrovian.

Placed on all three of his starts over this C&D, finding no extra after briefly looking dangerous when third in the Churchill Stakes five weeks ago; has over 3l to make up on Algiers but it's quite possible he'll come on for that outing, his first since the summer; leading contender.

Useful on his day but 0-8 since 2020, never better than midfield when over 10l sixth in the Churchill Stakes over C&D (AW debut; 25-1) last month; that was his first run for over a year and he may improve markedly for it, but others in this line-up have more obvious claims.

T: Harry Eustace

Returned from a 12-week break to finish a creditable third in a 1m2f Salisbury Listed event in August; below that level in two similar races subsequently but freshened up since and possible she could revive back on AW (has a good record).

9/1

Verdict

Last month’s Churchill Stakes over C&D is a key piece of form and runner-up ALGIERS (nap) is selected to maintain his superiority over the three who take him on again. Harrovian possibly needed the run that day and may pose the main threat, although the 3yo filly Makinmedoit receives weight all round and needs to be considered too.[Richard O’Brien]
