12th September

250 Chester-This is a welcome drop in class for Sheikhzayedroad,who moves back into listed class for the first time since last summer.
Its finished 1st and 2nd on its two runs in this grade and with the yard in good form,I would expect it to go close.
It likes a break between its races(41days+ 4w-1p-9r),so 44 days off should be ideal and its 5w-1p-16r in fields of 9 or less.
Secret Number is probably the biggest danger but does have questions to answer after managing just one run in the last two years.
If its the same horse it was then it will be a tough opponent but Saeed Bin Suroor has only an ordinary record here(5/64) and I prefer the selection at the prices.
Ajman Bridge and Lustrous arent out of it but will need the front 2 in the market to underperform to win this.
Back Sheikhzayedroad 11pts at 4.3 at Betvictor(Accept 4.0)-3rd(-11pts)Never had a chance the way the race panned out.Secret Number`s strength in the market told you everything.

355 Bath-Guard of Honour looks too short to me here,its got a chance but has hit the frame this season on each run and now moves back in trip and up in class.
Im not sure the drop in distance will suit and with the jockey/trainer 0 from 11 when teaming up,im happy to take it on.
Sir Jack Layden drops in class and gets George Baker onboard for the first time(1 from 1 for the yard),theres already been early money and it looks significant.
Meetings Man returned to form last time and is still nicely handicapped on last years efforts.Its 1/1 at this track and 3w-1p-5r over this trip.
Statsminster has dropped 10Ibs in its last 4 runs and is becoming nicely weighted while Glens Wobbly can never be discounted here(5 course wins)
Lay Guard of Honour 20pts at 5.0(Lay upto 5.5)-Won(-80pts)No idea how it won as it looked to be going nowhere but its assured stamina came to the fore after a relentless gallop.Bad Day!(-91pts)
*Cancel or trade out if Sir Jack Layden,Meetings Man or Statsminster dont run*
