Newmarket Race 3 - Emirates Autumn Stakes (Group 3)
AL ZANATI (1) overcame notable greenness to make a neck winning debut over 1400m on the July Course in August. Runner-up since filled the same position in a valuable sales race at the Curragh giving form a boost and the exciting Charlie Appleby trained colt can replicate. HANKELOW (4) lost nothing in defeat missing by a nose in the Listed Flying Scotsman Stakes at Doncaster second time out. Holds obvious claims climbing to 1600m. Trainer Aidan O'Brien won this with a top-class horse last season and STRAIGHT UP (7) cannot be left out of the equation after a smooth Listowel debut success. Fellow debutante winning PATHEIN (6) also warrants consideration.

Second-up. Promising on debut as favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.25 len at York June 28 over 1400m defeating Crest Of Fire carrying 60.5kg at $4. Returned from break held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Doncaster in the LR Flying Scotsman Stakes on September 12 over 1400m, nose behind Avicenna with 58kg at $2.30. Key chance and capable of going on with it.
