Race preview
A beaten favourite at Ascot last month, ISAMBARD BRUNEL can recover losses. The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt has yet to race in this country, having made his debut when fifth at Newbury in August. A Futurity Trophy Stakes entrant, the son of Justify is clearly a strong stayer, a trait that will suit on this stiff track. Stablemate Light As Air, who also holds an entry in that aforementioned Doncaster race, is a definite contender on racecourse debut. The Wootton Bassett colt wouldn't have to be anything out of the ordinary to strike first time out in a race where those with previous form appear vulnerable. Red King, who finished fifth at Gowran on his introduction, should be all the better for that initial outing.
