9th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who has gained three of his four wins over C&D, the latest an easy 4l success in April; this will be tougher from a 6lb higher mark especially with other established trailblazers in the field. |
20/1 |

9th 1 (7) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 0-9 on turf but he made a bold bid when a clear second at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) 19 days ago; up 3lb but he ran into an unexposed improver last time and still looks on a workable mark; in the mix. |
11/2 |

3rd Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Best on the AW (two wins over 1m at Kempton this year); 18lb lower on turf but hasn't run well enough on his recent starts on grass to suggest he will win this. |

21st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Last win came on AW in 2020; raced just eight times since, proving far from consistent; failed to beat a rival on latest start (wore hood); unappealing contender and yard has a much stronger chance with Ghaly. |

25th May 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Useful 7f handicapper in Britain and seemed to see out the 1m okay when a closing, eyecatching fifth at Meydan on his penultimate run (never dangerous over 7f there the final time); his tendency to start slowly continues to hold him back and this strong a handicap takes no prisoners, but the ability is there to take a hand. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D win last April came off a 5lb higher mark; good second at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but unable to back it up at Southwell one week later (both 7f); chance if back to his best. |

8th 10 (7) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in April; now 2lb lower and no problem with the return to 7f, but he needs to fare better than in his last three starts. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
8yo who has won five times on the July Course here, including two this year; 0-9 on this track but latest fifth of 23 in the Cambridgeshire was highly creditable; another who can't be discounted. |

8yo who has run well in this race previously and won two in a row on the other Newmarket course in July; however, he's finished no better than fifth across his last five outings and it's probably best to look elsewhere. |

11th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Well below par in two runs since popping up at Kempton in July (1m3f); can start slowly. |

Verdict
Raise The Roof won very easily at Lingfield three weeks ago and the runner-up has since gone well in a competitive handicap so the form has some ballast. She is respected, along with the durable Ayr Harbour (second choice), but the vote goes to topweight DUBAI ICON (nap) whose two runs here have been very good and he should appreciate the return to AW.[Paul Smith]
