Soundly beaten in handicaps the last twice (1m, good to firm/good to soft) and needs to get back on track, but the deep ground could be a positive for this soft-ground 2yo winner; interesting contender.

9st 3lb |
Pretty useful form over 1m initially this term but well held in the German 1,000 Guineas on third start and soundly beaten at 150-1 in 1m handicap at Royal Ascot when last seen; others look more solid. |

Her narrow AW defeat (1m; first-time hood) by Coronation Stakes hope Devoted Queen offers some hope but she has made no further progress, with and without headgear (now returns); only 1-6 and sole success was at Chester; opposed. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has gone 1311 since sent into handicaps and came from well off the pace two weeks ago to score at Windsor (1m, soft); shooting up the weights with a further 5lb rise to deal with, but there are no other negatives to worry about. |
5/2 |

1st 7 (5) |
24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |

Has won on good but looked happier on soft when winning without much fuss at Ffos Las 18 days ago (1m); a 5lb rise could have been worse; big shout should conditions ease. |

Responded to pressure to keep on for fair fourth at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) latest; needs to build on that if she's to break her duck at the eighth attempt, but the greater emphasis on stamina is a likely help today.

20th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
No win after five races but she's a leading contender on form, having performed creditably this season on good ground in two Newmarket maidens (1m/1m2f) and a Goodwood handicap (1m4f); should be bang there. |

Improved form when winning on handicap debut at Doncaster in July (1m, soft; sole run on slow ground) and another good run when fourth of 13 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month; lightly raced and could still have more to offer, especially now back on slow turf.

1st Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his three starts in novices, but improved to make a successful handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, soft) three weeks ago; not sure how strong the form is and he is now 6lb higher, but he is a half-brother to a dual Tapeta winner and remains open to further progress; one for the shortlist. |
13/2 |

1st 6 (3) |
11th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |

Beaten around 10l or further in each of his three novice runs but hinted at ability in the process; makes his handicap debut at a realistic level and any market support would be significant. |

Won two handicaps in a row this summer (7f/8.6f, good to soft/AW) and returned to form with good third of 14 at Southwell (1m, AW) last time; could be thereabouts if handling the ground (unraced on soft/heavy).

22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Well-backed winner at Yarmouth (7f) last month on second handicap start and he followed up in the Racing League at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; he's up in grade today but this 3yo is clearly progressive and could play another leading role. |

Made all in C&D novice (good) in April and some decent handicap form since, finishing third at both Sandown (1m1f, good to firm) and Kempton (1m3f, AW); his surplus stamina may be no bad thing on the testing ground, provided he handles it (unproven on slower than good).

28th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Similar type to Magico, having scored over 1m at Kempton on sole AW start; turf form includes a good effort off this mark in the London Gold Cup (1m2f) and he didn't appear to handle Goodwood most recently; respected back down two grades and returned to this sphere. |

Raced twice for Francis Graffard, both starts over 1m at Chantilly, winning on debut then never dangerous next time; sold for 5,000gns and had wind/gelding operations since; market should prove best guide to expectations on British debut. |
7/1 |
