Timeform Daily: Wednesday, Scarbrough Stakes, Doncaster 15:05

Sole Power is faniced to get back to winning ways

Timeform offer a runner-by-runner guide to a listed five-furlong event from Doncaster on Wednesday...

Confessional won a 5f Chester handicap in May and since made frame in Group/listed races 3 times, third to Borderlescott in Beverley Bullet on latest. Entitled to go well again whilst finding one or 2 too good

Desert Law was useful at 6f in 2011, and even better back at 5f this term, defying mark of 101 in Shergar Cup Dash at Ascot in August. Little impact whenever upped to listed company previously, including last time

Kingsgate Native was a dual Group 1 winner in his younger days, but not got his head in front since 2010 Temple Stakes. Left Sir Michael Stoute to join trainer with good record with sprinters, and goes well fresh.

Masamah is a front-runner who has returned to form of late, facing competition for lead and caught wide when second to Borderlescott at Beverley last time. Warrants respect with cheekpieces replacing blinkers.

Noble Storm was twice a winner from just 4 starts in 2011, but current campaign has plainly been a disappointing one. Plenty to prove as things stand.

Nocturnal Affair was useful in South Africa and won the Portland here last year. Further improvement at Meydan this season, and encouraging return at Tipperary last month. Found Nunthorpe all too much next time

Pabusar is not easy to predict but smart when putting best foot forward, as when second to Hamish McGonagall in this grade at York in July. No obvious excuse when behind couple of these at Beverley last time

Roicead ia prominent racer who enjoyed cracking 2011 campaign for Brendan Duke, winning 3 times. Changed yards and stopped too quickly for comfort on recent return, soft ground offering only a partial excuse

Sole Power is an out-and-out speedster who went close in Temple Stakes (won in 2011) and King's Stand earlier in the summer, before being undone by draw in Nunthorpe (won in 2010). Looks a cut above rest of these

Valbchek enjoyed an excellent start to the season, making it 2 from 2 in 6f Tattersalls Millions at Newmarket. Close eleventh in bunch finish to Jersey since. Tries 5f for first time against established speedsters.

Excelette returned to winning ways when fending off Spirit Quartz in a 5f listed race at Haydock in June and ran well at Ayr next time. Behind a number of these in King George since, though.

Timeless Call is useful when at her best, and resumed winning ways in a Dundalk handicap earlier this month. All but one of 4 wins have come on polytrack there, and needs to prove herself as effective on turf.

Jwala is a progressive filly who brought up hat-trick when defying mark of 88 at Goodwood early last month (dead-heated with Lady Gibraltar). Will clearly need to improve another chunk upped in grade.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Sole Power
2. Kingsgate Native
3. Masamah

Timeform View: A listed event which contains a couple of established Group 1 performers in the shape of Kingsgate Native and Sole Power. The latter has far fewer questions about him and really should take advantage of these terms to gain a deserved first success of the season. Kingsgate Native is interesting in his own right, whilst Masamah should also give it a good go.
