Al Qareem²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 114| CD

9/4

Likeable front runner who is bidding for a third successive win in this race. As good as ever when landing 2 listed races and a Group 3 this season and bold show looks assured despite a 3 lb penalty.

7/4

Admirable performer who has added listed events over this trip at Goodwood (beat Military Academy a neck) and the Curragh in his 2 outings this season. Former winner of this race and the one to beat again.

7/2

Won 3 of 4 starts last year, including a listed event at Kempton. Went down by only a neck to Hamish in another listed race at Goodwood in June but not at the same level in 2 outings, albeit one of them was the Group 1 Goodwood Cup.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Edward Greatrex| T: R M Beckett| OR: 110

14/1

Heavy-ground winner at 2. Runner-up in a Goodwood listed event before producing a smart effort when fifth in the Irish Derby in June. Disappointing in the Gordon back at Goodwood since. Has a tongue tie added back from 2 months off.

Form: 21-4256

Tenability^t²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: W J Haggas| OR: 100| CD

13/2

Has improved with each run, including 3-3 since switching to handicaps. Produced a smart performance to see off Push The Limit (pair clear) last time and looks up to making his presence felt outside of handicaps.

Hamish (7/4), Al Qareem (9/4), Military Academy (7/2), Tenability (13/2), Sir Dinadan (14/1)

HAMISH and Al Qareem have won the last 3 runnings of this between them and can dominate again, with the former selected to make the most of the weight he receives from Karl Burke's charge and take his record at listed/Group 3 level on turf to a remarkable 11-12.
