Thu 24th Sep

Formscan  - King Sharja merits the utmost respect in his hat-trick bid and another big effort is forecast. That said, the six-year-old is effectively 10lb higher in the handicap after narrowly prevailing at Wolverhampton six days ago, which may leave the door open for fellow last-time-out winner STARAKOVA. Warren Greatrex's filly scored in good style over C&D and she now has the assistance of champion jockey-elect Billy Loughnane. Renewable Dream and Hear The Drums are others of interest.
