Tote Guarantee, Never Beaten By SP Renaissance Stakes (Group 3)

A regular visitor to these parts and has won here four times, including this race in 2021 and 2022; ran a blinder in the Phoenix Sprint Stakes over C&D on his seasonal reappearance last month; below best in Flying Five two weeks ago; could rebound stepped back up in trip.

Admirable and hardy 8yo has won ten times, eight of those wins coming at this venue; excellent run in defeat in the Bold Lad handicap over C&D on latest; had a few off these behind when an unlucky third in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes here in May; don't rule him out.

Has won four of his eight starts on turf; yet to score in stakes company but good efforts in defeat the last twice; 1.25l behind Vespertilio in a listed race over this C&D (good) in June; beaten 2.75l in another listed at Tipperary latest (5f, yielding); needs to find more upped in class.

Enjoyed a purple patch at the backend of last season which included a win in this race; had been running well in defeat this season until failing to fire in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock; may be able to get back on track in these calmer waters, especially with rain forecast.

Gained sixth win of his career in a 6f listed heat at Doncaster (gd-sft) in March; best run since a 1.75l second behind Beauvatier in a Deauville Group 3 (6f, soft); beaten just 2l when fifth in this last year; needs the forecast rain to come, can go well if it does.
