Taa takes Nayef route
Marcus Tregoning hopes Taameer can follow in the hoofprints of one his former stable stars when taking his chance in the Autumn Stakes at Ascot.
The Lambourn handler saddled none other than four-time Group 1 winner Nayef to win this race in 2000.
Tregoning said: "It's a hot race, but Taameer is in good shape and the form of his debut win is looking pretty good. We will certainly learn a lot."
One for next season
Taameer bids to confirm the considerable promise of his debut success in the Autumn Stakes.
Trainer Marcus Tregoning said: "He has worked very well and has taken a while to come to hand, but I think he is the right sort of horse for this race. If he runs well, I would be delighted.
"I would think this will be his last run of the season. We will put him away and see where we go with him."
Front lines up in Autumn
Sans Frontieres bids to step up on his Lingfield maiden success in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Ascot.
Jeremy Noseda's youngster, who cost 450,000 guineas, got home by a neck on his debut six weeks ago and goes on trial for the Racing Post Trophy.
Barry Simpson, racing manager to owner Sir Robert Ogden, said: "It's a major step, but Sir Robert is keen on seeing him run and he'll be suited by a mile."
Anmar follows Khaldun
Godolphin bid for back-to-back Autumn Stakes victories with Anmar following the success of subsequent Racing Post Trophy winner Ibn Khaldun last term.
Trainer Saeed bin Suroor told www.godolphin.com: "Anmar is a horse I like a lot. He's been in fine form at home, showing a good turn of foot.
"It will be tough for him in a Group 3 contest for the first time but I think he has the ability to run a good race."
Bell counts on Four
Michael Bell believes there are exciting times ahead for his Autumn Stakes contender Four Winds.
The trainer told At The Races: "The form of his Sandown race has worked out well, as has the race where he finished third on his debut at Newmarket.
"Palavicini, who was second at Newmarket, won on Thursday and the Sandown form could not be working out better - he is an exciting horse."
Babe up against it
Michael Bell admits securing minor honours may be the best that can be expected from Bahamian Babe in the Cornwallis Stakes at Ascot.
The trainer told At The Races: "I don't think she's lost her way but I think the others may just have caught her up.
"She has performed consistently to a rating of 90 throughout the year so I hope she can run well again - but we're really running for a place, I think."
Blade makes the cut
Ed McMahon is hoping Blades Princess can put up a sharp performance in the Cornwallis Stakes at Ascot.
The filly's recent win at Beverley tempted the Lichfield trainer to go for this Group 3 prize.
McMahon said: "She's possibly a late-ish foal, so while she's running well, we thought we'd give the Cornwallis a crack. We are drawn five and have the fast crew on our side."
