Form & Verdict

Has only won a maiden from 14 starts but she's a solid Listed/Group performer who ran her usual honest race when third (from off the pace) behind a shock winner at Salisbury ten days ago (1m2f, good to firm; effective on soft); unlikely to be far away.

Form & Verdict

Waltzed home in a 1m2f novice here on reappearance (good to firm; unraced on firmer) and then ran in the Derby (1m4f, good to soft), coming from last at one point to finish fourth in the first-time cheekpieces; that form looks all the stronger now and there's probably more to come from this lightly raced colt; rain welcomed, especially as he was fourth in a Group 1 last season on heavy.

Winless as 2yo but he didn't lack for heart when a persevering fourth of seven to Ancient Wisdom in the Group 1 Futurity (1m, heavy) in October on first run for this yard and the switch to good ground did not stop him when he won a minor 1m2f Windsor novice on reappearance; should improve as a 3yo but probably not quickly enough to play a part this time; first-time cheekpieces fitted.

Form & Verdict

Impressively graduated through the handicap ranks and followed two seconds at Listed level with a respectable fourth in a Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood (last three races at 1m4f); solid chance in today's company but the forecast rain promises to rock the boat as all his best form is on good or quicker ground; now with Karl Burke having left Roger Varian.

Highly progressive in handicaps and he's been a good Listed second the last twice, firstly over C&D and most recently beaten a neck at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) when clear of the third; could be bang there once more.

Form & Verdict

Has only encountered good ground on turf; absent since finishing well held in the Group 1 Queen Anne at last year's Royal Ascot; his previous competitive efforts in a 1m Listed and 1m2f Group 3 make him a player at this level, provided he's ready to rock after his long absence; interesting to see which way he moves in the market.

Could do with settling better in his races but he's smart, having pushed the top-class Westover close in last season's Group 3 Classic Trial over C&D and there was nothing with his return at Ascot (1m, good) in finishing within a length of last weekend's Lockinge runner-up Chindit; the potential is lurking to rate higher, perhaps a lot higher; by no means dismissed lightly.
