Neck runner-up at Goodwood (1m, soft) last month then went one better in a competitive handicap at York (1m, soft); up 3lb for last time, which isn't harsh, and this bang-in-form 7yo holds solid claims.

4th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
1lb lower than for his defeat of 16 rivals at the Craven meeting; only 1-16 on the AW but this is a drop in class from contesting strong handicaps and he's been running well; tends to run over 1m these days but has won at 7f. |

20th Nov 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Down the field in this race last year but effective over C&D and back to the same mark as when seeing off 16 rivals at Newmarket's Craven meeting in April (1m, good); apprentice's claim useful and he's not ruled out. |

Won comfortably at Goodwood (1m1f, soft) last month and bumped into highly progressive winner when 6l runner-up at Hamilton (1m1f, soft) last time; can give another good account and could be in the shake-up.

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, soft) in March for Dominic Ffrench Davis; well beaten in May/June on next two starts but on good/good to firm ground; claims will be boosted if he's back on a slow surface today, following a break; first run for Raphael Freire (remains in same ownership). |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Most turf runs on soft for this yard, doing best when winning the Lincoln (1m) in March; has more to prove following a comprehensive good-ground defeat at Newmarket since and this first 7f run in Britain adds further uncertainty. |

10th 5 (15) |
4th May 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
33-1 for the 20-runner Lincoln at Doncaster (1m) on reappearance six weeks ago but won it comfortably from Lattam, coming smoothly from off the pace; 7lb higher today; chief concern is probably that all his turf runs for this yard last term were on soft and all his three career wins have been on soft, but 1m1f is no problem and he had plenty of form on good or firmer in 2021 and 2022; has to be considered. |

Having dropped down the weights he won easily at Nottingham (1m, heavy) a fortnight ago; hit with 9lb rise but had bundles in hand and remains well treated on his old form; now 2-2 on heavy ground (also won easily on the other occasion) and has to be respected.

9th Nov 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Suited by ground softer than good (3-3 on heavy); has gained most wins at 1m but some of his 2024 efforts, including when beaten favourite last time, suggest this belated return to 7f is worth a go; defied a 6lb higher mark last November. |

30th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won twice on heavy last autumn, including over C&D; five starts (three on soft) this season and has run respectably only once, so he has questions to answer alongside his reduced mark; off four months before latest. |

4th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not at the top of his game on his four runs in the spring and absent since; however, he was a fair fifth on his penultimate start (1m, soft) and won twice on heavy going last autumn; has won here and is not written off. |

9st 7lb |
Has useful form over 1m, notably Spring Cup success (good to soft) on seasonal debut; close fourth, posting a career-best RPR, in major 7f handicap at Ascot (good to firm) most recently and remains comparatively unexposed at this distance; in the mix. |

7f winner as a 2yo but best known as a useful 1m performer; landed this year's Spring Cup at Newbury (good to soft) and ran respectably in the Royal Hunt Cup on penultimate start; others have less to prove over this trip at this level. |

Has a poor 1-26 strike rate but running well in this visor of late, finishing second twice in a row (1m, good) and finishing a close fourth to Hafeet Alain at York (1m, soft) a fortnight ago when denied a clear run; a possible.

Won two in a row at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August but he's been well held in last two runs including when last of five at Newmarket (1m, soft) last week; has quite a bit to prove again and others are preferred. |

Redoubtable 11yo who excels here, especially on good to soft or slower; still has some tricks up his sleeve as he showed when beating Baltimore Boy in C&D classified in September and, although well beaten at Newmarket 15 days ago, a previous fourth in the Spring Mile shows he could easily go well back on this track. |

Has shown the odd sign of promise this season, such as when ninth in the Cambridgeshire two starts ago, and he's edged down the weights; things could click again at some point but his losing sequence is up to 14 races and he may not want testing ground.

Not won for nearly three years and has flattered to deceive on occasions; mainly disappointing this season and now gets cheekpieces (with tongue-tie left off); well handicapped on best form and capable 5lb claimer up but remains risky. |

Verdict
Hafeet Alain has got back to his best of late and holds strong claims but preference is for DASHING ROGER who bolted up at Nottingham last time to make it 2-2 on heavy ground. Zozimus was denied a clear run when fourth to Hafeet Alain at York last time and is third on the list, while Mr Professor and Metal Merchant also arrive in good form.[Ben Hutton]
