Sir Busker is trained by William Knight, and will be the ride of Callum Shepherd this week. The seven-year-old was last seen in March, as he finished tenth of 14 in the G1 Dubai Turf.
He ended last season in solid enough form in the UK, landing the G2 York Stakes over a mile and two.

Raadobarg is the ride for Rossa Ryan on Wednesday. The George Boughey-trained runner has won five from 19 career starts on the turf, and is yet to register in eleven attempts in stakes company.
He was last seen over a mile at Deauville finishing two lengths behind Poker Face when fifth in the G3 Prix Quincey. Has something to find in this company.

Chindit will be the ride of Pat Dobbs for trainer Richard Hannon at Sandown on Wednesday. The five-year-old was excellent on his previous start over a mile, as he held off light Infantry by over two lengths to land the G3 Superior Mile Stakes at Haydock.
This will be his first start at Sandown, and he has won seven from 20 starts in stakes company.

Tom Marquand takes the ride on William Haggas-trained Purplepay on Wednesday. This filly has failed to score in five efforts so far this year, but she finished behind Heredia in Group 3 company on her latest effort.
She is down in grade this week, but others make more appealing cases.

Eydon represents the Andrew Balding yard this week, and will be the ride of Oisin Murphy. The four-year-old was fourth of 15 on his previous start when finishing just over four lengths behind Coroebus in the G1 2,000 Guineas.
His absence since that effort would be a clear concern, but he is certainly a main contender if at his best.

Breege will be the ride of Jason Hart on Wednesday. The John Quinn-trained runner gets weight from all her rivals this week, and she was last seen finishing fifth of 13 behind Heredia in the Dick Hern Stakes.
However, she does have solid form in the book after previously finishing second in a big field at Royal Ascot over a mile in the Sandringham Stakes.

Rhys Clutterbuck takes the ride on Novus for trainer Gary Moore on Wednesday. She was a fine winner in a big field handicap over a mile at Goodwood in August, before finishing fourth of ten behind Heredia in the G3 Atlanta Stakes at Sandown over course and distance.
She makes a very interesting case if the ground goes soft this week.

Silver Sword is a runner for trainer Dylan Cunha this week. The three-year-old has a solid record over a mile, which includes a victory over the distance by nearly a length from Catch The Paddy in late August.
He is stepped up in grade this week, but he looks capable of more than holding his own.

Knight is a three-year-old from the Simon & Ed Crisford yard, and he will be the ride of James Doyle on Wednesday.
He ran a solid race on soft ground at Goodwood at the end of August, as he finished a close second behind Angel Bleu in the G2 Celebration Mile. However, his chances will likely hinge on the ground.

David Egan and Roger Varian join forces with Lord Of Biscay at Sandown on Wednesday.
The three-year-old was a winner over an extended mile at Nottingham in June, before finishing fourth of 12 in the Prix de Saint-Patrick at Longchamp in early July. However, he finished over eight lengths behind Knight over seven furlongs last year.
