11/2

Progressive on all-weather for James Tate during 2019. Didn't fire upon joining this yard at Meydan earlier in the year but no surprise to see him get back on the up on back of wind surgery. Visored.

Form: 3211-00

Huraiz²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 98

10/1

Dual winner as a juvenile. Good second over C&D in June but shaped as if needing the run when last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 28 days ago. Entitled to be sharper now.

Form: 134-529

5/1

Course winner. Latest win at York in July. 18/1, good second of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, soft) 19 days ago. Not discounted back on AW if arriving in same form.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 91| BF| D

9/4

Creditable second of 9 in handicap (2/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 28 days ago. Remains low-mileage and he can be expected to be bang there.

Form: 7/21-232

8/1

Course winner. 18/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Entitled to be sharper for that run but handicapper is proving slow to relinquish his grip.

Pistoletto^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 90

28/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2019. 80/1, good fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 12 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Now his task is to build on that.

Form: 890994

INTUITIVE didn't fire at Meydan around the turn of the year, but he was most progressive on artificial surfaces for James Tate last year. On the back of a wind op, he's worth chancing to get back on the up. Ghalyoon is a low-mileage 5-y-o who may do better again and is feared, whilst Firmament can also feature in a competitive race of its type.
