Bet MGM Cumberland Lodge Stakes (Group 3)

Highly-talented veteran who quickened up in good style when the gap came to lead late on in Glorious Goodwood Group 3. Outclassed his rivals in Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury since and sure to make another bold bid.

Smart front runner who won this last year and bounced back to winning ways in 6-runner listed race (4/5) at Chester (12.3f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Likely to get an uncontested lead here so needs considering.

Smart gelding who added to his haul in Group 3 company at the Curragh in August 2023. However, failed to beat a rival last 2 starts 10 months apart so something to prove now with headgear re-fitted.

Listed winner for Aidan O'Brien last season. Won a juvenile hurdle for this yard in the winter but offered little back on the Flat last 2 starts. Off 147 days. Easy to look elsewhere.

Has just a debut win to his name but good efforts in the John Porter (close third to Hamish) and York listed race this term. Not in same form in Group 3 at York since and needs to bounce back.

Improved when recording third career success in 1½m Goodwood listed race (soft). Not in same form next 2 starts 4 months apart but return to testing ground is a positive.

Highly tried this season and has resumed progress eased in class last 2 starts, third in September Stakes at Kempton 4 weeks ago. Handles the mud and not discounted.
