Useful gelding. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this course (9.9f, good, 12/1) 13 days ago, keeping on well. Back up in trip and this asks a lot more.
|
Smart horse. Good ½-length second of 15 to Global Storm in handicap at this C&D (good, 9/2) 22 days ago, nearest finish.
|
Smart horse. 21 lengths eleventh of 13 to Sonnyboyliston in Irish St Leger at the Curragh (14f, good, 18/1), going off too hard. Off 174 days. First run for yard after leaving Aidan O'Brien.
|
Fairly useful gelding. 8 lengths seventh of 13 to Appreciated in listed race (50/1) at Meydan (9.9f) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Uphill task.
|
Useful gelding. C&D winner. Creditable 6 lengths third of 15 to Manobo in Nad Al Sheba Trophy (9/1) at this course (14f, good) 15 days ago.
|
Smart gelding. Didn't need to improve to win 15-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 9/2) 22 days ago by ½ length from Alignak. Well worth a shot at this level.
|
Very smart horse. 85/40, career best when winning 8-runner Cumberland Lodge Stakes at Ascot (12f, heavy) by 6½ lengths from Eagles By Day, unchallenged. Off 154 days. Clear form pick.
|
Useful horse. Latest win at Haydock in September. Creditable 6½ lengths fifth of 15 to Manobo in Nad Al Sheba Trophy (66/1) at this course (14f, good) 15 days ago.
|
Unreliable sort. Fourteen runs since last win in 2018. Creditable 9 lengths ninth of 15 to Manobo in Nad Al Sheba Trophy at this course (14f, good, 33/1) 15 days ago, met some trouble.
|
Very smart gelding. 1/4, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner Stockholm Cup International at Bro (11.9f, good) by 3 lengths from Outbox, keeping on well. Off 167 days. Enters calculations.
|
Useful gelding. First run since leaving Roger Varian when 19¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Lost Eden in listed race at Jebel Ali (9.7f, 14/1) 6 days ago. Back up in trip. Difficult ask.
|
Smart gelding. Career best when winning 4-runner listed race at Newmarket (12f, good to firm, 11/4) by 2¾ lengths from Fox Tal, kept up to work. May have more to offer in 2022.
|
Useful filly. Three wins from 6 runs last year. 66/1, 8½ lengths eighth of 12 to Royal Fleet in Dubai Millennium Stakes at this course (9.9f, good) 8 days ago. Back up in trip.
|
Useful filly. Five wins from 8 runs last year. Below form tenth of 16 in handicap at this course (8f, good, 80/1) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts
Hukum (4/5), Global Storm (7/2), Square De Luynes (10/1), Alignak (14/1), Without A Fight (16/1), Global Heat (16/1), Al Madhar (25/1), Island Brave (33/1), Court Poet (40/1), Amhran Na Bhfiann (40/1), Valyrian Steel (40/1), Iron Butterfly (50/1), Mekong (50/1), Light Of Darkness (80/1)
HUKUM enjoyed a very productive 2021 campaign in Britain, and assuming he returns very close to that level, he will take some stopping. Square de Luynes is a dominant force in Scandinavia and looks the main danger, for all Without A Fight may yet have more to offer.
