Made a successful debut on the Rowley Mile (6f, good to firm; 5-2) last month (second and fourth have won since); stable has won three of the last four runnings of this including with the subsequent Group 1 winner Ancient Wisdom last year (who had also won his only previous start); should be hard to beat.

Dubawi colt who is unbeaten in three starts, all at the Newmarket tracks (6f/7f, good/good to firm); absent since beating Seagulls Eleven and subsequent Royal Lodge winner Wimbledon Hawkeye in the Superlative Stakes three months ago; that race has thrown up the Dewhurst winner in two of the last three years, including Native Trail for this yard; strong contender, for all that William Buick deserts him for stablemate Shadow Of Light.

Promising colt who has won a couple of Newmarket novice events (good to firm) with something to spare, latest over C&D; sire Dubawi won this race in 2004 and trainer has landed this prize four times in the last eight years; very strong credentials.

3yo who was third in a Group 2 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August before bolting up in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft); well worth a crack at a Group 1 judged on that latest performance but he needs to transfer his Doncaster improvement - and some more - back to better ground.

Record of 1-1 on AW compared to 0-7 on turf; however, he has two pieces of very useful form in this sphere, including third in the Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; Group 2) last time; enters calculations, having shown there's possibly a race of this nature in him.
