Form & Verdict

Close relation to top-class Ghaiyyath and to today's rival Al Nafir; unraced on softer than good; wore cheekpieces in last three of his four starts, including when winning a 20-runner novice at Doncaster (1m) and six-runner handicap debut here (1m2f); got to grips with the leader late on last time and, backed up by pedigree, will probably have more to give at 1m4f.

Form & Verdict

Marked improvement when justifying favouritism at Goodwood (1m4f, soft) on handicap debut in June, leading 2f out and galloping 3l clear; while it was similar form, it was rather disappointing he did not manage better than sixth of 14 off this 8lb higher mark at Haydock (1m6f, soft) two months ago, seen off before stamina was the issue.

Form & Verdict

Brother to top-class middle-distance performer Cracksman; flopped in the Sandown Classic Trial on reappearance but took forward steps in two 1m2f handicaps last month when not getting the best of runs at Sandown and winning by a head at Newbury; he didn't do much in front last time but has cheekpieces installed today and 1m4f is a tempting prospect.

Had a spell on dirt in Dubai before winning in small fields over 1m2f at Leicester, Epsom and Newmarket in three of his last four starts; hung left but emerged best in a good scrap last time as the front two drew 11 clear; the runner-up did nothing for the form last weekend, while this one has gone up 8lb; 1m4f is plausible.

C&D win in July came in just a three-runner affair but he beat stablemate Warren Point, who went on to land a 1m2f handicap at Glorious Goodwood; needs to bounce back from a poor show when just 4-1 for the 1m6f Melrose at York two weeks ago.
