Ambassadorial^e/s1⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 104| C

13/8

Seems best on artificial surfaces, winning here in June, and placed off 103 in a C&D handicap in August. Ran well when third in Korea Cup in Seoul last time, and eyeshields he wore there are retained.

Form: 77-1003

Habub²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 99| BF| C

5/4

Progressive handicapper who won over 7f here in August, and was beaten just a head off 97 here last time. Trying 1m for the first time now, but closely matched with his rivals if staying.

Form: 1-17172

(1)

Arctic Sound¹⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 108

3/1

Progressive sort who rounded off his juvenile campaign with victory in the Group 3 Tattersalls Stakes at Newmarket. Better effort this year when runner-up in German 2000 Guineas, although unraced since.

Form: 1611-52

Forecasts

Habub (5/4), Ambassadorial (13/8), Arctic Sound (3/1)

Very little between this trio based on this season's efforts, but the progressive Habub does have to prove he stays a mile, and last season's Group 3 winner Arctic Sound is returning from a lengthy layoff, making course winner and Korea Cup third AMBASSADORIAL the default choice. He wore eyeshields for that latest effort, incidentally, so punters don't need to worry about their efficacy.
