Smart gelding. Latest win in Lennox Stakes at Goodwood in July. 28/1, 15½ lengths eighteenth of 19 to Powerful Glory in Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot (6f, good to firm). Off 97 days. One to consider.
|
Smart horse. Won this race last year. 9/4, respectable length third of 14 to Mysterious Night in listed race at this C&D (good to soft) 35 days ago. Draw could have been kinder but can make presence felt.
|
Smart gelding. 3-time C&D winner who landed the 2024 renewal. 9/4, didn't need to be at best when winning 14-runner listed race over C&D (good to soft) 35 days ago by head from Khanjar, well positioned. Looks sure to give another good account.
|
Smart gelding. Latest win at Newmarket in August. Respectable 1¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Elmonjed in listed race (7/2) at York (6f, good to firm). Off 138 days. Back up in trip and expected to be bang there.
|
Useful gelding. 98/10, career best when winning 8-runner minor event at Cologne (7f, good to soft). Off 117 days. First run for yard after leaving Henk Grewe. Others more persuasive.
|
Smart gelding. Group 1 winner in 2024. First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when good 1½ lengths third of 10 to Quddwah in Zabeel Mile at this course (8f, good, 11/2) 21 days ago. May find a few too strong.
|
Smart gelding. 16/1, creditable 2¼ lengths sixth of 10 to Quddwah in Zabeel Mile at this course (8f, good) 21 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
|
Smart gelding. 12/1, 4¾ lengths fourth of 6 to El Nasseeb in Dubawi Stakes at Meydan (6f) 21 days ago. Having a rare start at this trip nowadays.
|
Useful gelding. 7¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Sparks Fly in Prix Perth at Saint-Cloud (8f, soft, 9/1) 89 days ago. Has work to do.
|
Useful gelding. Last of 7 in conditions stakes (8/1) at Chelmsford City (8f). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving William Haggas. Difficult ask.
|
Useful gelding. 6¼ lengths seventh of 8 to Nations Pride in Singspiel Stakes at this course (9f, good, 40/1). Off 10 months. Back down in trip.
|
Smart gelding. 40/1, creditable head second of 14 to Mysterious Night in listed race at this C&D (good to soft) 35 days ago.
|
Useful gelding. 50/1, 2¼ lengths seventh of 10 to Quddwah in Zabeel Mile at this course (8f, good) 21 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

|

Forecasts
Mysterious Night (2/1), Marbaan (4/1), Lethal Levi (8/1), Audience (8/1), Witness Stand (17/2), Khanjar (10/1), Chicago Critic (14/1), Andreas Vesalius (20/1), Tumbler (28/1), Apollo One (28/1), Yaroogh (33/1), Houquetot (33/1), Shootout (33/1), Elnajmm (40/1), Mountbatten (66/1)
MYSTERIOUS NIGHT arrives in good heart and is just about the pick in this field. Marbaan appeals most among the rest, while Lethal Levi might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
