Kuwait Currency^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 100| CD

3/1

Talented juvenile has regained that level of promise with some rapid progress this campaign. Has relished a switch to this surface on his last three starts and is still open to further progress on it off just 3lb higher. Leading hope once again.

Form: 455121

Alrajaa¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 93| D

6/4

Won a Chepstow novice by 9L but still improved significantly on handicap and AW debut when following up at Chelmsford. Up 11lb and significantly in class on track debut but still no reason he can't go close again at the ratings.

Form: 452-211

Creationist¹⁰⁹

16/1

Two from four on the AW but failed badly on both handicap starts on turf. Returns following a wind and gelding operation and a drop of 2lb but may find this tough again.

Form: 3-11599

Sir Busker²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Spencer| T: W J Knight| OR: 92| CD

11/2

Won on first start at this trip over this C&D last time and now 3lb higher. That was a clear career best and he's still improving so no reason he can't go close despite the step up in class.

Model Guest^b1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: G G Margarson| OR: 88

16/1

Remains a 12-race maiden and while she's been highly tried at times, she has proven inconsistent. Ran close to her best at Ascot latest and now makes AW debut in blinkers. Capable of going well but remains hard to predict.

Siglo Six^h³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: K Shoemark| T: H Palmer| OR: 88| D

10/1

An improved performer since his sole AW start on debut and makes his first run at this track. Progressed again the last twice at Sandown but this still requires more up in class once again.

Listen To The Wind¹⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 87| BF| D

12/1

Twice a winner from five starts and has really kicked on the last twice on fast ground including an unlucky latest second. Up in class and 2lb but can't rule out she makes the required improvement to go close again.

Form: 21-612

(7)

Rectory Road^h1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 83| CD

14/1

Good third at Ascot hasn't quite been matched in three starts at this track since. First time hood added and a bit to find with Kuwait Currency from his latest defeat.

Forecasts

Alrajaa (6/4), Kuwait Currency (3/1), Sir Busker (11/2), Siglo Six (10/1), Listen To The Wind (12/1), Rectory Road (14/1), Model Guest (16/1), Creationist (16/1)

Alrajaa is moving on an upward curve at a rapid rate and despite this being much more competitive he still looks a likely main player for a powerful yard. There's a lot to like about the progressive profile of Listen To The Wind too and she remains a filly to keep on the right side of. KUWAIT CURRENCY has shown a strong liking for this track and is starting to match his undoubted promise while Sir Busker is another to consider in a tight and strong handicap.
