Timeform run the rule over the field for the Jaguar All-new XJ Autumn Stakes...

Azizi has his quirks but there is little doubting his talent, his latest win achieved in a very good time. He can prove too strong for Frozen Power, with Simenon likely to fare best of the trio who ran in the Solario Stakes.

Azizi won a maiden and nursery prior to his latest emphatic Doncaster success. He is quirky, but clearly very talented and this higher grade should hold no terrors.

Blakey's Boy was very green on debut at Salisbury but finished strongly to win going away. He improved when third upped in class last time and is capable of better over this trip but others look stronger.

Dubawi Phantom has progressed in five runs, getting off the mark in a maiden at Epsom before improving for headgear in this grade last time. He needs to step up again to land this warm contest though.

Frozen Power was well on top in the final two furlongs when completing a hat-trick in a listed contest at Deauville in August. He was not at his best in a Group 2 here last time but could still be a leading contender in this contest.

Morana made a most promising debut when runner-up at Sandown last month. He failed to justify odds-on favouritism last week but should still do better.

Prompter was just foiled by Black Spirit when sent off favourite for his debut at Ascot in July but recouped losses with comfort at Chester. He was not disgraced in Group 3 company last time but holds place claims at best in this race.

Simenon confirmed debut promise when landing a Newmarket maiden in July. He has matched that form both starts since, including when successful on first try at a mile at Ayr last month. Part to play back up in class.

Stags Leap showed promise on his debut and then won a couple of times in August, in a Goodwood maiden and a Warwick conditions event. He should stay this far but needs to improve again to trouble some of these.

Togiak confirmed promise of his Newmarket debut when winning a maiden at Kempton. He ran well on nursery debut but his form is well below some of these.
