Bought for 200,000 gns after winning a 7f Kempton novice for Sir Michael Stoute last September. Good second in 1m York handicap for new yard in May but has failed to build on that twice since. Still fairly early days and this looks a bit less competitive.

Successful at Jebel Ali in January but hasn't made much of an impact in 4 subsequent starts. Looks too high in the weights judged on Newmarket run last month.

Debut 7f Ascot winner who wasn't discredited after 7 months off when seventh of 11 on his handicap debut at Haydock (8.2f) in May. Far too green upped to this trip at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and a hood is enlisted to hopefully settle him down.

Off the mark at Wolverhampton last season and returned with a respectable run in a handicap at Southwell in June. Doesn't look an easy ride, though.

Improved form when runner-up in a Newcastle novice in June. Bac on turf and opening mark not obviously generous but he's clearly unexposed.

Surpassed 2-y-o form when a keeping-on third switched to a handicap at Ascot in May. Shade too free at Salisbury 2 months later but she's in the right hands to bounce back.

Left heavy defeat on reappearance well behind when landing 4-runner handicap at Haydock in June. That wasn't a deep race but easy to excuse Ripon run given he was struck into.

Shaped up well when third on her final 2-y-o outing. Hasn't really clicked this term, though staying-on fourth at Kempton was much more like it and return to this trip very much in her favour. Has to be of interest.

Continued theme of -race-by-race progress when fourth at Salisbury in September. Gelded since and certainly bred to do better as a 3-y-o over this sort of trip. Potential big improver.

Forecasts

Muktamil (10/3), Beccara Rose (4/1), Theme Park (4/1), Mlle Chanel (11/2), Defence Of Fort (7/1), Carbis Bay (8/1), Nopoli (14/1), Band Of Steel (22/1), Sir Jock Bennett (28/1)

Verdict

It's taken connections of MUKTAMIL a while to get him back to the track this year but he's very much the type to make a better 3-y-o, particularly over this trip. He's therefore awarded the vote in favour of Theme Park and Beccara Rose.
