AKKADIAN THUNDER has been a lot better than the result in 2 recent starts and boasts some good C&D form so might prove the answer for David O'Meara. Last month's C&D 1-2 Native Warrior and Great Acclaim are likely to get involved again. Purosangue and Tarkhan also make the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Firmly back on the up since visored, producing a smart effort when coming from the rear to beat Great Acclaim by 1½ lengths in a 20-runner race over C&D 4 weeks ago. Even an 8 lb rise shouldn't prevent him making a bold bid if in similar form.

    Verdict
    Winning start for this yard in the Victoria Cup over C&D in May. Another good run in a valuable handicap at this venue when third of 17 over 1m in July and he underlined his liking for the straight course here when landing a classified stakes over this trip last month.

    Verdict
    Showed benefit of reappearance when producing a career best effort to win a 16-runner handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) on Irish Champions weekend. A really smart effort will be needed to defy this lofty mark but he's a fresh horse for the time of year.

    Verdict
    Fourteen runs since last win in 2023 but he has a reduced mark to work with and latest fourth of 25 in the Ayr Gold Cup with cheekpieces added (retained) was creditable. Runs off 2 lb lower here. Respected with De Sousa taking the reins for the first time.

    Back to best when 2½ lengths second of 6 to Cicero's Gift in listed race at Sandown (1m, heavy) 17 days ago. On a good mark if he can reproduce that level back in a handicap but doesn't have a great record in big fields so far.

    Verdict
    Capped a highly productive 2024 with a win in the Balmoral here (1m, soft) on Champions Day but nowhere near that form in 2 outings in 2025. The return to a big-field handicap may suit but has something to prove for now.

    Right back on form since blinkered, including a Glorious Goodwood win at the end of July. Good 1½ lengths second of 20 to Native Warrior over C&D (good) 28 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Another 3 lb higher now but still much respected.

    Completed a notable midsummer double in the International over C&D (good to firm) and Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (6f, good). Another fine run when fourth of 20 at the York Ebor meeting and he was caught on the wrong side when only tenth in the Ayr Gold Cup a fortnight ago.

    Verdict
    Listed winner on soft during his time in Germany. Back to that sort of level for new connections when runner-up in 7f soft-ground handicaps at Sandown and Newbury in recent months. Behind a few of these over C&D on good in between but would enter the reckoning if the ground eases.

    Winner of fast-ground novices at Newbury and Ripon (1m) last summer. Returned with 2 excellent efforts in high-end handicaps at Goodwood in August but not in the same form when faced with soft ground at Newbury since. Remains unexposed but rain in the forecast is a cause for concern.
