SOLAR ACCLAIM clicked with a ready success at Goodwood 5 days ago and a penalty probably won’t be enough to stop him following up in a race that lacks depth. Snuggle arrives in good order and a high draw could be favourable in the conditions, so he’s worth considering along with Charlie Mason.

WEIGHTWATCHER: FARO DE SAN JUAN won off a handicap mark of 82, his rating is now down 6lb to 76. LONGEST TRAVELLER: THANKUAPPRECIATE trained by D Carroll, Malton, 220 miles.
An ultra-competitive sprint on paper in which it could be worth taking a chance on WILLINGLY, who shaped as if better for the run after 3 months off having a rare all-weather start at Newcastle earlier this month and Mark Usher’s mare is now below her last winning mark. Mumayaz shaped better than the bare result at Bath recently, so he heads up the dangers, with Thankuappreciate and Punchbowl Flyer fancied to be in the mix, too.

NASIM is a long time without a win but having shaped better than the result at Kempton a fortnight ago (made a big move into contention), Mark Pattinson’s 5-y-o earns the tentative nod ahead of Imperial Cult, who topped off an excellent summer campaign when scoring at Epsom earlier this month. Artavian, Blue Collar and Monteria are just a handful of others to consider too, in a tricky finale to solve.

RACE SUMMARY
Multiple Group 1PA winner FIRST CLASSS is the standout, running without any penalties. He was the only horse to get near world champion Al Ghadeer at Goodwood on soft last year, so should be able to handle the forecast heavy ground well enough.
Stablemates Winds Of Fortune and Amirat Al Zaman are not at that level yet and are quite closely matched on Newbury form, though of the younger horses, Hibikinada Du Mazet, getting all the allowances, could be the one for a place, should she enjoy some cut.

Consistent mare who loves her racing, winning from 6f to 1m4f on quick or artificial surfaces and scored a black type win in a sprint at this track in June Must have fast ground to shine, however as this is her reported swan song, she could still do well if the race cuts up on the day.

Half-sister to two French Oaks winners. Disappointing in two easy ground runs France in the spring, but improved for a change of scene with both UK wins on good, beating Winds Of Fortune (2nd) and Victoria (4th) at Newbury Not clear run in the UK Arabian Derby latest, entitled to do better today.

A winner of three-million-dollar races in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Dubai in 2022 Runner-up over this trip on soft at Goodwood last year, beating four other Group 1PA winners, but not quite so good this winter, sporting blinkers last start. Comes here refreshed from a break and still looks the one to beat (R29 W7 P16) (OR 113)

Shares sire with Amirat Al Zaman, out of a seven-time winner in the USA from 6f to 1m Showed up well on debut for today’s jockey on the Polytrack over this trip, so is untested on Turf, but gets plenty of weight and could make frame if underfoot conditions suit (R1 W0 P1) (OR 71)
The Arabian Racing Organisation was thrilled to welcome the HH Sheikh Mansoor bin Zayed Al Nahyan Racing Festival back to the UK as sponsors of nine Wathba Stallions Cup races, in addition to their feature event, the HH Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Cup (Group 2PA).
The HH Sheikh Mansoor bin Zayed Al Nahyan Festival has played a significant role in the promotion of Arabian racing and breeding around the world since it began in 2009, aiming to continue the efforts made by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan to preserve heritage sports and equestrian sport in particular.
The Festival supports 150 races from the grassroots to the highest level, in the UK and around the world. Their global sponsorship culminates in the Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Jewel Crown, aGroup 1PA run in Abu Dhabi in December, one of the world's most valuable Arabian races on turf.
