9st 3lb |
20,000euros purchase out of a mare who achieved little in her sole start; both runs at 6f, making a successful debut at Chelmsford (AW); it's not looking the strongest of Coventrys in which he ran a close fourth and he showed a lot of early speed to lead until inside the final furlong; running style and pedigree cast some doubts about him getting home over today's 7f. |

The form of his narrow Chelmsford win (6f AW) is no real advert for his prospects here but the race didn't go entirely his way and he's a good looker who should have more to offer; others much preferred, however. |

Closely related to 5.5f-7f winner Earthlight (including dual 6f 2yo Group 1); odds-on for his Yarmouth debut (6f, good) last month and he was always prominent before staying on strongly for a cosy success; that form has been boosted by the third and fourth since and he's a big player again under a penalty; holds Group 1 National Stakes entry. |

Beat four rivals to win Ayr maiden (5.5f, good) last month on only his second start; should be suited by this extra yardage and further progress is not out of the question; however, he seems to have a very stiff task, being bottom of this pack on bare figures.

10-1 and slowly away when fair fifth of eight on debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in May; improvement needed here but this £100,000 yearling could be sharper for that first run and his trainer has some useful 2yos this year; interesting, especially with the extra yardage a likely plus. |

175,000gns yearling; the same connections won this 12 months ago with Big Evs but he had won the Windsor Castle, whereas this colt was beaten at Beverley first time out (5f, good; 4-1); looks sure to win races but it's unlikely this will be one of them. |

Became his stable's first juvenile scorer of the year when beating 12 rivals at Salisbury (6f, good to firm; 14-1) last month, and that form was boosted when the runner-up went one better at Chester next time; open to plenty of improvement and impossible to rule out. |

Cost a cool 1,250,000gns as a yearling and is half-brother to Commonwealth Cup winner Golden Horde; odds-on both starts, having a bit in hand at Navan (6f, good to yielding) before second in the Group 3 Marble Hill at the Curragh (6f, good), where he travelled well and fought bravely only to just miss out; four of the trainer's previous ten winners of this took in that race en route (finishing 7111) and it must count for a lot that he's the sole representative from a yard that's won this so many times. |
