In frame on every outing in 2018, and made a fine start to the new campaign when fourth of 5 to Keystroke in minor event at Kempton. Yest to race on Fibresand, but has a fair chance id adapting to this surface.

6/4
Has a tremendous record over C&D, winning four times from as many starts last winter. Has scored twice on turf since, and as good as ever when second at Newcastle last time. Leading claims.

11/1
Mixed record since joining current yard from Roger Varian, and although he did a bit better when fourth at Chelmsford last time, there wasn't enough in that run to make him of particular interest here.

11/2
Consistency not his strong suit, but back to winning ways over C&D last time, and he remains competitively weighted on the pick of his form, so not dismissed.

15/2
Goes well here, but struggling to find her best form of late and just a respectable fourth to Ornate over C&D on her latest start, Needs to step up on that to figure.

Perhaps helped by switch of headgear when winning over C&D last month, but visor failed to have the same effect here next time when behind Midnight Malibu. Blinkers back on now, and hard to tell how he will react.

10/1
Unseated at the start here two outings ago, and again lost all chance leaving the stalls in race won by Ornate just 3 days later. Has claims on form, but easy to have reservations right now.

Forecasts

Foolaad (6/4), Moonraker (11/2), Danzan (6/1), Midnight Malibu (15/2), Classic Pursuit (17/2), Samovar (10/1), Jumira Bridge (11/1)

Verdict

FOOLAAD was unbeaten in four starts over C&D last winter, and proved himself at least as good as ever when chasing home Outrage at Newcastle last time. He makes more appeal than recent course winner Moonraker, and that one's stablemate Classic Pursuit, who could benefit from another change of headgear.
