Verdict

BESIEGED very much has the profile of one who should have more to offer in handicaps so he gets the vote. Fellow 3-y-o Stoneacre Donny must have been amiss here last time as his handicap record prior to that was solid and he can bounce back and provide the chief threat ahead of C&D specialists Castle Stuart and Dark Moon Rising.

    Verdict
    Dual winner in France who made a successful handicap/stable debut in Bahrain (1¼m) in December. Respectable efforts over 1½m at Ascot on first 2 runs back in Britain and 1¾m likely stretched him at Goodwood since. This test more suitable.

    Verdict
    Largely struggled since going 2-2 in useful juvenile season but seems to have turned a corner in 3 starts for this yard having eased in the weights, finishing second of 10 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 23 days ago. Shapes as if this step back up in trip may suit. Considered.

    Verdict
    Dubawi colt out of Falmouth winner Snow Lantern. Promising second on first 2 outings before easily landing the odds in maiden at Salisbury (1¼m, heavy, 4/9) in June. Back from 3 months with a profile which strongly suggests he'll have more to offer in handicaps.

    Picked up where he left off in 2025 when gamely winning at Haydock (10.5f) in April and better than ever when completing the hat-trick back over 1m at Thirsk in May. Failed to fire over 9f here in June but freshened up since and capable of bouncing back.

    Resumed winning ways over C&D in June and backed it up with a solid fifth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (9f, good to firm) in August. A Class 2 over C&D at the Ebor meeting was too competitive for him but this is more his level.

    Landed the odds on final start for Andre Fabre last autumn. Has reached the frame on 4 of 5 starts for new connections, with the best effort when narrowly denied on all-weather at Lingfield (1¼m) 15 days ago, although he was rather outbattled. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces now.

Left behind a lesser effort in the John Smith's Cup when fifth of 13 at Goodwood (11f) but latest fourth of 5 at Newmarket (1¾m, good) no more than respectable, hanging to left.

    Front runner who bolted up at Leicester in June then ran well in stronger company when second of 17 in a handicap at Glorious Goodwood (both 1¼m). Faded into sixth in Lanark Silver Bell over 1½m at Hamilton latest and likely still in form. Draw awkward but still respected.
