Al Khail Trophy (Listed) Presented By Longines - Turf

Smart gelding. C&D winner. Two wins from 6 runs last year. 8/10, tailed-off last of 5 to Salesman in Grade 2 Marathon Stakes at Santa Anita (13f) 83 days ago. Back on turf. Choice of Buick and can make presence felt.

Smart gelding. 52/10, respectable 10¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Double Major in Prix Royal-Oak at Longchamp (15.4f, heavy) 89 days ago. First run for yard after leaving R. Le Dren Doleuze. Enters calculations.

Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Last of 18 in handicap (40/1) at Royal Ascot (12f, good to firm), going off too hard. Off 7 months. Won this last year but this looks a tougher renewal on paper.

Smart gelding. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (11/4) at this course (12f, good) 35 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Scottish Anthem. Has good chance on pick of form.

Useful gelding. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Good 2¼ lengths third of 13 to Dhahabi in handicap at this course (12f, good, 25/1) 35 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Useful gelding. Creditable 3¼ lengths fifth of 13 to Dhahabi in handicap (22/1) at this course (12f, good) 35 days ago.

Useful gelding. 25/1, first run since leaving A. Fabre when good 2¼ lengths second of 13 to Dhahabi in handicap at this course (12f, good) 35 days ago, nearest finish. Up in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Useful gelding. Latest win at Newmarket in August. Respectable third of 15 in handicap at this course (12f, good, 10/3) 14 days ago. Back up in trip.

Useful gelding. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form ninth of 15 in handicap at this course (12f, good, 9/1) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Uphill task.

Useful gelding. Five wins from 7 runs last year. 17/10, good 3 lengths fifth of 9 to Double Major in Prix Chaudenay at Longchamp (14.9f, good to firm), running on. Off 118 days.
