Course winner. 9/4, fifth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good to firm). Off 6 months. Is drawn wide but is the pick of Buick of the Godolphin quartet.
|
Two wins from 3 runs last year. Very good second of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 7/4). Off 174 days. Back up in trip. Has wide draw to overcome but is a promising sort.
|
Won both starts last year, including 8-runner handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm, 9/4) with bit in hand. Off 175 days. Is lightly raced and there should be more to come.
|
Three wins from 4 runs last year. 13/2, 7½ lengths last of 11 to Pride of Arras in Dante Stakes at York (10.2f, good). Off 7 months/gelded. Makes handicap debut and previous promise can't be ignored.
|
Course winner. 80/1, 10¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Opera Ballo in Al Rashidiya at this course (9f, good to soft) 14 days ago, slowly away. Others more persuasive.
|
18/1, 14¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Norwalk Havoc in listed race at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 75 days ago. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Aidan O'Brien. Others make more appeal.
|
Two wins from 4 runs last year. Creditable third of 18 in handicap (15/8) at York (10.2f, good to firm), having run of race. Off 174 days. First run for yard after leaving William Haggas. Interesting runner for new connections.
|
Two wins from 6 runs last year, latest here in November. 13/8, bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Meydan (9.4f) 42 days ago. Difficult ask back on turf.
|
36/10, won 9-runner minor event at Chantilly (9.4f). Off 104 days. First run for yard after leaving A. Fabre. May be in here on a handy mark.
|
Latest win at Windsor in June. Last of 8 in handicap at York (10.2f, good, 5/1) 84 days ago. First run for yard after leaving George Boughey. Needs a couple of these to falter.
|
40/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Meydan (8f) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Others have achieved more.
|
18/1, good seventh of 15 in handicap at this course (9f, good) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Not taken lightly.
|
Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (9f, good, 10/1) 21 days ago, not clear run. Can give a good account without proving threat to principals.
|
C&D winner. 9/1, 22¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Heart of Honor in listed race at Meydan (9.4f) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts
Arabian Light (2/1), Bedouin Prince (3/1), Archivist (9/2), King's Charter (6/1), Alpine Trail (10/1), Green Triangle (20/1), Sean (22/1), Will Scarlet (25/1), Shepperton Lodge (25/1), Dante's Lad (33/1), Qareeb (33/1), Stormy Ocean (50/1), Rock Of Cashel (66/1), Jenilat Bright (80/1)
Godolphin hold a strong hand with their quartet at the head of weights and their ARABIAN LIGHT can land the opening race. King's Charter shades it as second best, ahead of Archivist and Bedouin Prince.
