Landed 6f AW novice at Chelmsford in 2023 for Hilal Kobeissi and showed fairly useful form at 6f/7f in Qatar early last season; returns from 16 months off (gelded) but no forlorn hope for yard going well, especially if the market vibes are positive.

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

T: Saeed bin Suroor

Won two 6f novice events as 2yo, beating Wokingham winner Double Rush in the first; well below that level when confined to only two starts at Meydan in 2025 (both in January), but he ran well for a long way in a Southwell handicap (7f; tongue-tie added) on his comeback last month; that was an encouraging effort after a long absence and he looks interesting on this drop back in trip.

Won two turf novices as a 2yo, beating Wokingham winner Double Rush in the first; well below that level when confined to only two starts at Meydan in 2025 (both in January; one on AW); lots to prove on a few counts on handicap debut and with a tongue-tie tried, though any confidence behind him would turn some heads.

Goes very well here and scored over C&D last May; off nine months, yet to hit form in a pair of 7f handicaps at Doncaster and Newmarket this summer but no surprise to see him take a sizeable step forward back here off a reduced mark, especially if the market vibes are positive.

He hasn't won since a Listed success at York (6f, soft) in October 2023, but he's started for Robert Cowell with a trio of creditable efforts in competitive handicaps; could click for this yard at some point.

Disappointing when favourite at Windsor last time but he's still lightly raced and was an emphatic winner at Leicester (6f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has claims if he can bounce back.

Progressive 2yo/3yo; he has faced some stiff tasks for his new yard this year and has come up short; his sights are lowered here, however, and 6f on fast ground won't faze him; respected now down into a 0-90 with headgear dispensed with.

Four wins at 6f for previous yard but he was far from disgraced when seventh of 28 in 7f Victoria Cup here (good; first-time cheekpieces) in May; drawn on the wrong side when he finished last at the Royal meeting but he's dropped to a handy mark and shouldn't be discounted on this return to 6f.

Won this race last year on soft ground and he's now 4lb lower; shaped well from unfavourable draw when seventh at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; returning to 7f should suit, and rain would not inconvenience him in the slightest; wears headgear for the first time; big player despite unflattering form-figures.

Acts on fast and soft ground; hasn't been at the top of his game this season but he ran well when fifth at Chester (7.6f) in May and is now 2lb lower than for his Sandown win last summer; should be fine on this return to 1m and he's not ruled out back from a break.

Often leads; won first two juvenile starts (extended 5f and 6f); placed only once in three 6f starts this year but he remains capable of better and, following a flagging fifth of 13 at Newmarket recently, he's worth a look in this first attempt over a bare 5f for yard that won this in 2021.

Convincing winner of 6f maiden at Ffos Las as 2yo; he's needed some excuses in handicaps, such as when failing to pick up off an average pace over C&D last October and not having the ideal track position at Thirsk recently, but his comeback run at Chester in July was promising; capable of better.
