Verdict
TENABILITY continues to go from strength to strength for the excellent William Haggas yard, and he looks poised to land a fourth C&D success. The main threat could come from Royal Power, who goes well fresh and is a very smart performer on his day.

VerdictMost progressive when completing a 4-timer (3 C&D handicaps) last September. Won twice at listed level since chasing home Al Aasy in the John Porter on return, setting a sound pace/holding on gamely for a much-improved success at Windsor last time. Set to enhance his excellent course record. - 1. Al AasyJ: Daniel TudhopeT: William HaggasF: 7159-2131

VerdictStrong traveller who was given plenty to do when runner-up in this corresponding event 2 years ago. Isn't always the heartiest in a battle, but he was delivered perfectly to land a career-best success in Grade 2 Grand Prix de Deauville latest. No easy task giving 5 lb to the field, though.

VerdictSmart 5-y-o who is lightly raced for his age. Finished behind stablemate Royal Power in the Sheema Classic in March. Back to his best with consecutive runner-up finishes in listed company this summer, doing all he could behind a game one at Chester (14.5f) latest. Needs even more in a better race.- 5.

VerdictBeat an equally smart stablemate at Meydan in February 2025. Completed a double in good style in an Abu Dhabi listed race 12 months on (doesn't stand much racing) and not disgraced when beaten 6 lengths in the Sheema Classic latest. Hood refitted for return (goes well fresh) and looks interesting.

VerdictUseful colt who doubled his tally in a conditions event at Goodwood (1¼m) last September. Has performed creditably at Listed/Group 3 level, not seen since beaten 5¾ lengths on return in the Diomed at Epsom (8.5f) in June. Back up in trip and faces a stiff task following a further 4 months away.- Unnamed Favourite

VerdictProduced a smart performance to land a Heritage Handicap at York (good to soft) in August. Didn't need to improve to follow up in a 1½m listed race at Chester (odds-on favourite flopped) earlier this month. Step up in class/return to quicker conditions probably foils his hat-trick bid.
