Hochfeld¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 96| D

15/2

Down in weights and back to form with a bang when fending off Shailene in 1¾m Glorious Goodwood handicap last month. Not in the same form in Ebor since but this a bit less competitive.

Form: 7-00410

Tribal Craft⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 94| D

4/1

Back to winning ways at Kempton in July. Not up to listed company at Newbury since but more realistic chance at this level.

Form: 267-218

Kasaman^p⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Hayley Turner| T: D M Simcock| OR: 90

14/1

Useful winner in France but well held for this yard in Dubai at the start of the year and fared no better on return at York in July. Has something to prove for now.

Form: 470-099

Toronto²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J G Given| OR: 96

18/1

Useful sort at up to 1¼m for Aidan O'Brien and whilst not disgraced on yard debut at Newmarket (1m) 26 days ago, he didn't pose a threat. Much longer trip needs to bring about improvement.

Form: 288-455

Without A Fight¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 93

1/2

Has looked very promising when winning 1¼m novices at Redcar and Newbury in recent months. Definitely more to come and can make light of a mark in low-90s on handicap debut.

Form: 311

Forecasts

Without A Fight (1/2), Coconut (5/2), Tribal Craft (4/1), Hochfeld (15/2), Kasaman (14/1), Toronto (18/1)

WITHOUT A FIGHT has created a good impression when winning novices on his last 2 starts and can improve again and make a successful switch to handicaps, possibly at the main expense of August Goodwood winner Hochfeld, who needs to put a lesser effort in the Ebor behind him.
