He hasn't kicked on from his easy Chester win last month (7f, good to soft) as may have been expected, but he ran better than the distance beaten suggests at Sandown 16 days ago (1m, soft), making a move in the sixth furlong and tiring in the final furlong; return to 7f in his favour and his yard has an excellent record with 2yos at the track (19-78 with a further 17 seconds and 12 thirds).

9st 7lb |
4l winner on nursery debut over Chester's 7f but couldn't carry a penalty on the AW (8.6f) and was only fourth to Corriamo here last time; the winner might be the one open to most improvement over this far. |
4/1 |

ducked left start, took keen hold, in touch with leaders on inner, outpaced from 2f out, rallied and went fourth inside final furlong, not pace to challenge |

Improving 2yo, off the mark at the fifth attempt when picking off Enchanted Eye over C&D last month; better form when second at Haydock 24 days ago (7f, good to soft); this will be the slowest ground he's faced but there is some optimism for it on breeding.

5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Displayed improvement to win at Epsom (7f, good) on second nursery start despite not looking at home on the track (front two clear); trainer's 2yos are in excellent form and William Buick is 10-31 (32%) for the yard in the last five years; strong claims up 5lb. |

1st 8 (1) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
No immediate improvement for the switch to nurseries at Yarmouth last month but that was a better race and a stronger pace might have helped; still capable of better. |

Four runs, all on good to firm, winning easily at Brighton (7f) four weeks ago on the latest; should have a future in nurseries but the suitability of heavy ground has to be taken on trust.

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made a promising start when a close second at Windsor in June and built on it when a staying-on fourth of 14 at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm); well held at York last time but that was a tough assignment behind a smart prospect and he sets the standard back in much calmer waters here; key player. |
6/4 |

8th 18 (5) |
23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Both runs over 6f on good to firm; runner-up in a race for newcomers at Windsor and probably stepped up on that form to finish 2l fourth in a good maiden at Glorious Goodwood; gives the impression that today's extra yardage will bring him on some more. |

2 yo Filly
OR: 73
Made all when beating a subsequent winner in a small-field fillies' maiden over C&D last month (good ground); 80-1 and couldn't cope with a sales race at York's Ebor meeting latest but this should be more manageable; her useful half-sister won on soft so there is some optimism for this vastly different ground.

Has improved with each of her three starts and comfortably made all in Epsom maiden (7f, good) last Friday; there's every chance she'll continue to progress but this race is a much more demanding test of her credentials. |

2 yo Gelding
OR: 72
Consistent juvenile who has performed with credit in all three nursery runs, second to Pietro over C&D last month; 4lb better off with that rival and his dam was effective on soft; should run his race again.

Fair maiden who came clear of the rest when a good second of eight in 7f Epsom nursery ten days ago; must enter calculations back in maiden company. |
