40-1, well held in the strong Convivial maiden at York (7f, good to firm) on debut five weeks ago; this a good deal easier but he could still be considered only if backed.

Gelded son of Mohaather who cost 40,000gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to six winners, notably Walton Street (1m2f-1m4f winner, including Canadian Grade 1; RPR 119); dam 5f-1m2f winner (including Group 2); bred to have a future and needs checking out in the betting for an in-form stable which had a first-time-out winner in a similar race at Bath recently.

100,000gns yearling by Too Darn Hot; re-sold for £50,000 at the Doncaster breeze-up in April; promising 0.75l second in a Chester maiden on debut (7.5f, good to soft; 9-4, pulled hard); that form yet to be tested, but 1m should suit and an obvious candidate.

Both starts at 6f, stepping up on debut when third at Chester (6f, heavy) 13 days ago, albeit well held and showing modest form; will need to find a fair bit of improvement for the 2f longer trip.

Verdict

There’s little to separate HOT DANCER and Kirkdale on RPRs but they are preferred in that order. Richard Hughes had a first-time-out 2yo winner over this trip at Bath recently, so a market move for his newcomer Family Knight would bring him into the reckoning. [Andrew Sheret]
