Newmarket Race 2 - Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes (Group 2)
Stepping up to 1600m may suit WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE (7) with the James Owen trained colt running on strongly to finish third in the G2 Superlative Stakes before following home a G1 Dewhurst Stakes-bound performer in the G3 Acomb Stakes at York. This son of Kameko finished off his race well in both those outings. Might male a breakthrough at group level. LUTHER (4) finished runner-up to a subsequent G1 Canadian winner before landing a Listed race in fine style at Haydock last time. An impressive winner of a valuable York maiden during August ANGELO BUONARROTI (1) looks particularly interesting up in grade. Aidan O'Brien trains Galway maiden winner PUPPET MASTER (5) who cannot be ignored.

Going well. Most recently won by 2 len at Haydock Park LR Ascendant Stakes September 7 over 1600m defeating Qilin Queen carrying 59kg at $4.20. The race before that second last in a small field at Salisbury in the LR Stonehenge Stakes on August 14 over 1600m, 0.5 len behind New Century carrying 58.5kg at $5.50. Going well and looks hard to beat again here.

Group 3 placegetter. Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, won by 3 len at Salisbury July 13 over 1400m defeating Original Outlaw carrying 60.5kg at $4. Second-up 3rd of 7 at Sandown Park in the G3 Solario Stakes on August 31 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Field Of Gold with 58.5kg at $2.90. Meets a tough line-up and prefer others.
