GR 1 | Flat | 5f
Night Raider
Given his free-going tendencies, the drop to 5f could be what NIGHT RAIDER has needed all along and with his York reappearance indicating that he can be as effective on grass, this lightly-raced 4-y-o could be the answer. Last year's winner Asfoora has had a different preparation this time and has blinkers on for the first time, so Believing, who shaped really well in this 12 months ago, may emerge as the chief threat.

Very smart sprinter and multiple Group winner from Australia who, sharper for run in the Temple, proved better than ever when landing this a year ago (several of these behind). Hit the frame both starts that summer but no British prep this time having finished mid-field over 6f in April.

Shaped really well when fourth from off the pace in this race a year ago. Filled same spot over 6f at the meeting 4 days later before making most of the drop to Group 2 company at the Curragh.

Rounded off his 3-y-o campaign with an impressive 3¾-length defeat of Annaf in 6f Newcastle listed race in November, taking his AW record to 4-4. Went with bags of enthusiasm when third of 8 to Inisherin in 1895 Duke of York Stakes and this first crack at 5f looks the correct move.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYork6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/8Newcastle6fStandardFlat1/12Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat1/8Newmarket (july)6fSoftFlat5/7Ascot7fGood to FirmFlat19/19- 16(8)MgheeraJ: William BuickT: Ed Walker3506-11Age 58/18/19/1

Very smart at best, winning three times last season, notably Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar where he was well suited by strong tempo.

Very likeable sprinter who continues to go from strength to strength this season, looking a pattern-class performer in a handicap when easily winning at York last month. Upped to Group 2 company, he shaped as though still in top form in the Temple Stakes, not seen to best effect.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park5fGoodFlat5/11York5fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/17Musselburgh5f 1yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/7Ayr6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat16/25Doncaster5f 143yGoodFlat1/22- 23(23)West AcreJ: Callum ShepherdT: George Scott21-2118Age 316/116/114/1

Smart gelding who enhanced excellent strike rate in 15-runner Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint at Meydan in March.

Very useful and likeable juvenile who bagged his fourth win of 2024 in Doncaster's Flying Childers in September.

Lightly raced filly who showed big improvement on final outing for Johnny Murtagh in September 2023, winning the Firth of Clyde at Ayr in good style.
