Houquetot
3-7 on turf in France for Christopher Head, including a win in a Group 3 (7f, soft) as a 2yo; changed hands for 90,000euros in July and makes his stable/AW debut after six months off having been gelded and undergone wind surgery in the meantime; market revealing.

Storm Star
Ultra-consistent with his record here reading 13111, his latest win coming in the AW Mile Championship over C&D in April; up another 5lb, but still a major player if the market suggests he is ready after eight months off and he may find this race is run to suit.

Pocklington
Won his first two outings here (6f) as a 3yo and has gone down by less than a length in his last four starts, incluing when beaten a short head at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) in September; off three months since, but has gone well fresh and this trip looks worth exploring; stable also runs his half-brother Doctor Khan Junior.

Doctor Khan Junior
Handy sort who is 5-9 on the AW including a win over C&D; held on his return from 342 days off at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in February and has been off another ten months since; his half-brother Pocklington may be the stable's main hope.

Nikovo
Three-time course winner who is back off the same mark as when successful over C&D in March; needs to improve on recent efforts, though.

Eldrickjones
Five of his six wins have come here, the latest a narrow success over this trip eight days ago; up 3lb and has found this level a bit too warm for him in the past.

7/2 |
Apotheosis
Unexposed 4yo who has been off five months since a couple of modest efforts on turf in the summer; has undergone wind surgery in the meantime and is 4lb lower than when third of 13 behind Eldrickjones over C&D in May; worth a market check.

Midnight Lion
Front-runner who is versatile, having won seven times here over 7f/1m2f and been successful over 1m6f on turf; will do well to dominate this field, though.
