J: Sam James

T: Grant Tuer

Dual Fibresand winner here who was well held in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (1m, soft) last month, but had previously run well when beaten a neck into second of 13 at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta), making his effort on the disadvantaged part of the track; races off the same mark and a major player.

Form & Verdict
Progressive 3yo who has form figures of 1211 this term; last two wins came in 7f handicaps at Sandown (good/good to firm); has an attractive profile and he's the sole runner on the card for William Haggas; obvious player.

9st 12lb

J: Adam Farragher

T: William Haggas

Made it three wins for the season at Sandown (7f, good) in July and he's also effective on slow ground; his improvement has stalled since but he's continued to run well and a steady pace may have been against him at Ascot last time; the first-time cheekpieces could be a plus and he's respected.

Form & Verdict
Along with Azano he's suited by Redcar; has done his winning at 1m/1m2f but finished second twice over 7f in April and filled the same position in this contest 12 months ago; capable of taking a hand.

T: Stephen Thorne

Rated in the 100's in his prime in Britain; resurgent of late off much reduced mark, gaining second win from last three starts when running out a decisive scorer over 7f a week ago; up an aggregate of 21lb for those two wins so needs to step up again off highest mark in 18 months; first AW attempt at 1m.

Rated in the 100's in his prime in Britain; holding his form at a much lower level nowadays, hit with a 10lb rise for C&D success last month and better again when second to a stablemate off this mark since; should be thereabouts.
