Won two Group races here earlier in the campaign including a C&D Group 3. Has struggled a little since a Group 2 win at Chester but not disgraced in a South Korean Grade 1 last time. Giving away weight may be tough.

Belatedly got his head back in front at Doncaster two starts back in a four runner affair but showed how inconsistent he can be when down the field at Newbury last time. Usually finds a few too good at this level.

Surprise winner of a competitive Listed event at Gowran Park in August and has run well twice since, particularly last time when not beaten far in a Group 3 contest. Needs a bit more here but going the right way at present.

Bounced back to form with a Listed win at Goodwood last time out. Certainly worth a crack at this level and yard are in form but may have wanted some cut in the ground.

Won back-to-back races, the most recent a competitive Leopardstown handicap. Hasn't run much of a race in three runs since though and perhaps best watched at present.

Progressive sort and followed up a Listed win at Sandown with two placed efforts in Group 3 company. May do better returned to quicker ground here and yard flying at present.

Forecasts

Awesometank (2/1), Gabr (5/2), Trais Fluors (11/4), Lucius Tiberius (9/2), Beshaayir (6/1), Euginio (13/2), Forest Ranger (13/2), Hathal (8/1), Snowy Winter (16/1)

Verdict

The French raider TRAIS FLOURS looks like the one to side with down in class in first-time headgear here. Both William Haggas fillies, Beshaayir and Awesometank look progressive and rate as the main dangers in receipt of weight from their rivals.
  1. Trais Fluors
  2. Awesometank
  3. Beshaayir
