Verdict

HALLASAN (5) is back at the races for the first time since August 2. Worth noting, he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 7f at this track. He has won here in the past, and trainer Charlie Appleby will have him ready to rumble fresh up. STRAIGHT AND LEVEL (7) finished a 2.5 lengths fifth on turf at Abu Dhabi two back, then followed up with a minor placing on dirt at here over 6f 4 weeks ago. He has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and is sure to go well. TRANSCENDING GLORY (13) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was a solid fourth over 6f at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. Each way. THE FINGAL RAVEN (12) last appeared when he finished sixth over 7f at Epsom Downs on August 25. Worth plenty of thought in his local debut. Check the markets.
