Challenge Stakes: Timeform preview and free Race Pass

The Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards Challenge Stakes (15:00) at Newmarket is available as a free Race Pass. William Haggas-trained Sacred (127) tops the field on Timeform's weight-adjusted ratings. Purplepay (118) has a 3 lb penalty to carry having won at this level in the Prix de Sandringham at Chantilly in June. Pogo (125) made the breakthrough in Group company earlier this season with wins in John of Gaunt Stake at Haydock and Criterion Staking on the July Course. Jumby (122) had Pogos behind him when winning the Hungerford Stages at the Newbury in August.

Sacred got back on track when they beat 6 rivals in listed company at Newbury 3 weeks ago. Pogo is rock solid at this trip. Internationalangel is perhaps the pick of those at longer odds.

Challenge Stakes takes place at Newmarket on Friday at 15:00. Timeform's weight-adjusted ratings: 127 Sacred, 125 Pogo, 122 Jumby, 121 Misty Grey, 120 Internationalangel, 119 Oscula and 118 Purplepay.
