Quotes

Jeremy Glover, trainer of Bella Chica

"She's only a little filly and I haven't made up my mind if she'll go in the ground-looking at the way she moves, you'd have thought not. I'll have a look in the morning and decide what we do."

William Muir Sir William Muir (April 27, 1819–1905), was a Scottish Orientalist.

He was born at Glasgow and educated at Kilmarnock Academy, at Glasgow and Edinburgh Universities, and at Haileybury College. In 1837 he entered the Bengal Civil Service.
, trainer of Zargus

"He should have won his second race and couldn't have done it any easier last time. If you take lines through a lot of the horses, you'd have to give him a big chance. I wouldn't run him if it turned heavy, though-I'm not saying he wouldn't handle the ground, but I don't want to tear the guts out of him before the winter."

 about. He's never been in better form."

Michael Bell, trainer of Pachara

"Six furlongs will suit him, the ground will suit him and the track will suit him. Everything's right, provided it's not one race too many, which you can never be sure about at this time of year."

Conditions stakes (7f)

Notable runners

Imperial Dancer, third in the Greenham in the spring before beating just three home in the 2,000 Guineas, returned to form when winning at Ayr this month. The seven-year-old Granny's Pet is chasing the ninth win of his career, having shown himself to be at the top of his form this autumn.

Quotes

Michael Jarvis, trainer of Lincoln Dancer

"The ground will suit him and seven furlongs is probably his trip-he seems to have lost some of his speed and he's probably going to have to improve a bit."

Mick Channon, trainer of Imperial Dancer

Handicap (1m4f)

Notable runners

A severe test should play to the strengths of Mick Easterby's in-form pair Dancing Phantom and Nowell House. Mark Johnston's ultra-tough Celtic Mission is equally at home in deep ground, as is Spring Pursuit, while Rampant and Celtic Island are also proven in the mud and from yards in fine form.

Mary Reveley, trainer of Celtic Island

"Doncaster seems to suit her and she's run good races in her two starts there. But she's up to a mark of 87 and the weight is probably more of a worry than the conditions."
