Form & Verdict

3yo who won on reappearance at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) in June and returned to form with narrow win at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; further improvement can't be ruled out but there's a suspicion she'll be vulnerable now back up in grade.

Major career-best efforts in Listed races last two starts when she won on the July course here (from Place Of Safety) and was fourth at York, both 1m4f on good to firm; soundly beaten in her one Group race as 2yo and another as 3yo, and it's June 2023 that she last raced over this short a trip.

Form & Verdict

Often races prominently and slow starts haven't helped when below par the last twice (soft ground a further excuse at Doncaster latest); however, he's now 2lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (good) in May on his sole race here and can make a bold bid if things go to plan at the start.

With new yard this year and much improved when readily making all in good-ground handicaps at Epsom (1m2f) and York (1m4f) this spring; a first crack at 1m6f isn't fanciful but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in 1m4f Listed race at Newmarket eight weeks ago.

Runner-up on first three starts (1m2f, good to firm/good) before easily getting off the mark at 1-7 in a four-runner novice at Hamilton (1m4f, good) last time; faces a much tougher task on today's handicap debut but this 625,000gns Frankel colt is in excellent hands to continue to improve.

Made belated reappearance last month and hasn't threatened on either run this season (1m/1m2f), but he won a C&D novice (good) last September and this lightly raced 4yo could relish today's step back up in trip; top Newmarket trainer has an excellent 39% strike-rate here.

Runner-up on first three starts (1m2f) before easily getting off the mark in Hamilton novice (1m4f, good) last September; fair fourth on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) later that month; absent since and gelded; the first-time hood and drop back in trip are interesting for this headstrong Frankel 4yo, and he's not discounted on his return to action.

Form & Verdict

Won a 1m maiden here (good) last September on the middle of his three 2yo starts and he scored on his belated reappearance in a handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW) four weeks ago; this 3yo is very much unexposed and his attractive pedigree suggests he could have more left in the tank.

Flopped when upped to 1m4f in first-time blinkers at Ascot last time and he needs to be an entirely different proposition just 19 days on; however, the headgear is removed and this 3yo had shown considerable promise in Listed races earlier in the campaign; in top hands and not written off.

Form & Verdict

Kept on well to win at York (1m2f, good to firm) in May and perhaps Epsom and Goodwood didn't suit the next twice; returned to form with a win back at York (1m4f, good to firm) at the Ebor meeting under Ryan Moore and he's unexposed at this trip; progressive and on the shortlist up 6lb.
