SBK Renaissance Stakes (Group 3)

Smart gelding. Latest win in Group 3 at Deauville (6f, soft) in August. Only 8 lengths eleventh of 16 to Montassib in Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good) since but capable of bouncing back for a yard which knows what it takes to win this.

Four-time C&D winner, the latest in a handicap in July. Respectable 4¾ lengths ninth of 18 to Bradsell in Flying Five Stakes at this course (5f, good, 50/1) 14 days ago.

Useful C&D winner. 100/1, 6¾ lengths thirteenth of 18 to Bradsell in Flying Five Stakes at this course (5f, good) 14 days ago.

Creditable 1¼ lengths second of 25 to My Mate Alfie in C&D handicap 14 days ago but received weight from that reopposing 3-y-o on that occasion so no reason why he'll turn the tables.

Useful form. Didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner maiden (4/6) at Down Royal (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago, driven out. Has something to find at this level.

Course listed winner at 2. winner. Placed 3 times at Group level subsequently but not seen since 12½ lengths sixth of 7 to Bucanero Fuerte in Group 1 Phoenix Stakes over C&D 13 months ago. It'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Useful C&D winner. 7/1, respectable 3 lengths second of 10 to She's Quality in listed race at Tipperary (5f, good) 28 days ago, no match for winner.

Most progressive since blinkered, producing a very smart handicap performance when proving 1¼ lengths too strong for the reopposing Torivega over C&D a fortnight ago. Can take the step back up to Group company in his stride.

Useful mare. Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable 5½ lengths eleventh of 18 to Bradsell in Flying Five Stakes at this course (5f, good, 200/1) 14 days ago, not clear run.

Useful filly. 10/1, first run since leaving M. Baratti when 7¾ lengths last of 9 to One Look in listed race at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) on IRE debut 37 days ago, weakening quickly.

Impressive winner of 7f Cork listed race in August. Bit disappointing 3¾ lengths third to Without Words when odds on for the Group 3 Fairy Bridge Stakes at Tipperary (7.5f, good) 16 days later but could resume her progression now. Travels like the drop to 6f shouldn't be an issue.
