Form & Verdict

Took four goes to get off the mark (at Musselburgh over 5f on good) and limitations were exposed in a Listed race at York; looks vulnerable.

Off the mark at Musselburgh (5f, good; beat La Bellota by a neck) two weeks ago, seeming to show the benefit of a gelding operation, and may build on that success; posted a solid effort (form has substance) over C&D in May; quite interesting.

Form & Verdict

The ground was heavy when he took a noticeable step forward in winning a French 5f Listed race and hasn't looked as happy on good to firm in his subsequent Group-race assignments; tough mark for nursery debut but there will be no other excuses.

Won two of his first three starts including a heavy-ground Listed event at Chantilly (5f); found things tough in Group races after that but he got back on track with a close call in Haydock nursery last Friday; that was off a BHA mark of 97 and has claims if he can repeat that form back up in trip.

J: Oisin Murphy

The ground was heavy when he took a noticeable step forward in winning a French 5f Listed race and his sire also relished the mud; couldn't muster the gears to land any sort of blow when stepping up to 6f in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (good to firm; 25-1) and drying conditions would be a negative.

Has won two of her three nurseries and had a bit in hand last time at Sandown (5f, good); up 5lb and ground this soft will be a first, but she's nicely progressive.

Ready winner of a Class 6 nursery at Bath last month (5f, good; flashed tail); beaten favourite at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) one week later but the winner was miles in front of the handicapper; her new 6lb higher mark has now kicked in but she's not fully exposed just yet.

Authoritative success in a Bath nursery (5f, good; RPR 69) last week, tail-flashing notwithstanding; worth accepting the excuses for her two most recent forays over 6f before that (softer ground, track bias) considering a pedigree shot through with 2yo 6f Group winners on all sides.
