Doncaster Race 2 - William Hill Futurity Trophy Stakes (Group 1) (Str)
Aidan O'Brien holds a sensational record in this and can win it once more courtesy of NOBLE EXHIBIT (6) who is the pick of Ryan Moore. Should have every chance of making it three wins in a row following his smooth success tackling the 1600m G2 Beresford Stakes at the Curragh last time. BURNING UP (3) looks like the obvious danger having chased home a useful prospect when second in the 1600m G2 Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley) last month. The talented yet quirky AL HUDAIBA (1) clearly brings loads of ability and cannot be ignored after his success in the G1 Summer Stakes at Woodbine in Canada. BREACHER (2) might find the frame.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 42-day let-up. Last start won by 1.75 len in the G1 Summer Stakes at Woodbine on September 12 over 1609m defeating Oscar with 55.5kg at $1.65. The start before that 3rd in a small field in the G2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood on July 28 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Dr Rascal with 60kg at $2.30. Sure to be thereabouts.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 42-day let-up. At the latest run eased back early on 3rd in a small field in the G2 Champagne Stakes at this track on September 12 over 1400m, 5 len behind Desert Castle carrying 58kg at $11. The start before that 3rd of 8 in the G3 Solario Stakes at Sandown Park on August 29 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Alfred Wallace with 58.5kg at $4.30. Worth including.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd of 7 in the G2 Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley) on September 26 over 1600m, 1.3 len behind Haffner carrying 58kg at $7. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at Haydock Park on September 3 over 1600m in soft going defeating Hands To Yourself carrying 61kg at $1.40. Very tough to beat.

Comes here off a 41-day let-up. Last start 6th of 8 in the G1 Vincent O'brien National Stakes at Curragh on September 13 over 1408m, 10 len behind Folsom Blues with 59.5kg at $4.50. Before that won by 0.5 len in the G2 Futurity Stakes at Curragh on August 22 over 1408m defeating Florida Bay carrying 59.5kg at $3. Likely to find this out of reach.

At debut, won came from midfield and won by 2 len at Salisbury on October 1 over 1600m defeating Shared Odyssey carrying 60.5kg at $7. Not keen on his chances this time.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start favourite; won by 1.3 len in the G2 Beresford Stakes at Curragh on September 26 over 1609m defeating City Of Dubai carrying 59.5kg at $1.90. The run before that favourite; scored a big 7 len win at Punchestown on September 15 over 1609m defeating Dancinginthecity with 60.5kg at $3.80. Key runner who is a great chance to measure up again.

At the latest run 2nd of 7 in the G3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley) on October 10 over 1600m, neck behind Rock Montreal carrying 58.5kg at $2.90. The start before that 2nd in a small field in the G2 Champagne Stakes at this track on September 12 over 1400m, 3 len behind Desert Castle carrying 58kg at $3.50. Would have to improve even further.
