200/1
Runner-up in a Hexham bumper last June, but he's not matched that in either sphere since, and no improvement for wind surgery when well held at Newcastle last time.

6/4
Closely-related to smart 7f performer Perfect Tribute, and cost 180,000 gns as a yearling. Unfancied for debut at Newbury last month, but belied inexperience to win all out. Sure to improve, and much respected.

Improved from low-key debut when fourth at Goodwood in June for Simon Crisford. Seen to maximum effect there, though, and further progress needed to get involved here.

5/1
Teofilo half-brother to smart winners Awzaan, Muteela and Hajras, out of a 7f listed winner. Boasts a decent pedigree and represents a powerful yard, so shortlisted, with market to guide.

1/1
Related to useful winners, and improved from debut when neck second of 4 to Heart of Grace in a Lingfield novice last time. Looks open to further progress, and sure to go close again.

Ferney13
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-9| J: Phil Dennis(3)| T: Miss Tracy Waggott
250/1
Bred to stay this trip, but achieved little in a Newcastle novice on last month's debut, and easy to oppose on that showing.

Forecasts

Volcanic Sky (1/1), Al Kherb (6/4), Tajdeed (5/1), Point Of Honour (33/1), Disturb (200/1), Ferney (250/1)

Verdict

Tajdeed is a superbly-bred newcomer who needs a market check, but he's making his debut at a belated stage of the season, and this has the look of a match between Newbury winner Al Kherb and VOLCANIC SKY, with narrow preference for the Godolphin colt in receipt of weight after a fine effort at Lingfield.
  1. Volcanic Sky
  2. Al Kherb
  3. Tajdeed
