Race preview
JUYUSH has found form recently and can defy top weight and win again at this venue. He was initially useful in France and while his Irish form earlier this year was poor, his rating thus fell to and having won twice recently, today competes from a rating of 80 which is still 5lbs below his peak rating of 85, and can win again. Time And Money is a consistent performer who should go well from his own 3lbs higher mark than when winning over CD last month and being a 3yo, is open to a little more progression. Three-time winner Will Be King is with his fifth trainer and having been beaten just 0.5L here 14 days ago, has a chance today under a 7lbs claimer. Adnap's two wins have been over course and distance and is interesting dropping back to this trip following a below par run over 1m2f last time. Helen De Pourtales was well held on her latest run and has a tough enough task from her same rating today. Faakhirah has her first start at a mile today, having run well on her latest starts while Haayem was a 7,000gns purchase in August and is interesting on handicap debut, albeit he lacks a recent outing.
