Winning debut on heavy and went close in 5f Listed contest on soft in May; had tough assignments since, including over 6f in August, but even so he hasn't looked on his game and gelded since; visored latest but not today; this is more realistic.

All six starts over 5f, the pick of them a close Listed second at Sandown (soft) in May; however, down the field in Group 2 and Listed races on his three runs since; needs to raise his game in new headgear combination. |

Quite impressive when making a winning debut at Chantilly (5f, heavy) in April and finished a close second behind Enchanting Empress (well held in yesterday's Queen Mary) in a conditions event over C&D (good to soft) and a Sandown Listed contest (5f, soft); possible frame material if handling the quicker ground and taking to the cheekpieces; holds a Phoenix Stakes entry. |

Acted well on good to soft (unraced on slower) when beating a subsequent winner at Yarmouth (7f) in August; hard to restrain upped to 1m at Doncaster (good) since and it said a lot for his ability that he was a close second; interesting back at 6f if coping with the ground; yard in fine form.

11th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Progressive sort who turned in best effort when second over 1m on nursery debut last time; likely he'll improve again but yet to race on anything slower than good to soft (sole win came on that surface). |

2nd 1 (4) |
12th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has improved with each of his three runs, finishing fourth at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in July then winning there (7f, good to soft) last time; there's every chance he'll continue to progress and that this longer trip will be within range; respected on nursery debut. |

Poorly drawn when fifth of 16 at Pontefract and went off favourite over C&D 26 days ago, only to travel strongly but prove one-paced when it mattered; remains of interest. |

All races at 6f in novice events, winning at Newbury (good to firm) in June; no further progress since and has to prove herself on a new surface now handicapping.

Won by a neck at Newbury (6f, good to firm) to open her account at the third attempt; respectable fourth at Goodwood since but showed no further progress; looks vulnerable conceding weight all round. |

Should be quite favourably treated on his 6f form at Windsor (good) in May but he's been well held in two handicaps, beaten from over 2f out when upped to 7f (soft) on latest start; questioned for now.

9st 2lb |
Beaten a neck at Windsor (6f, good) on second start; down the field at Royal Ascot and no impact in two nurseries since, the latest over 7f on soft, so there are doubts whether he can live up to the Windsor form. |

9st 2lb |
Represents last year's winning yard and he went close at Windsor (6f, good) on his second start; a case can be made on that form but he wasn't quite at the same level when fifth of 15 over this C&D (good) next time, and he was well beaten in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot; has to bounce back. |

Only just lost out in his only handicap, over 6f at York (good to soft), and was found a good opportunity when making all in a Ffos Las maiden (6f, heavy) in August; ability to handle testing ground is a big plus; good chance back in a handicap.

9st 7lb |
Built upon promise shown in maiden/novice races when going very close on nursery debut at York (6f, good to soft) last month; not discredited when dropped back to 5f for Newbury's Super Sprint a week later and features prominently in calculations here. |

Showed a chunk of improvement on nursery debut when short-headed at York (6f, good to soft; headed final strides) last Saturday, but that came off a modest mark and he faces a much sterner assignment here. |
66/1 |

Verdict
Pellitory looked a real handful in the early stages of his recent venture over 1m at Doncaster and he did well to have the reserves to finish as close as he did. He looks well worth another shot at 6f but SIR PALAMEDES has the advantage of having proved himself in the mud and is preferred. The remainder are more difficult to make cases for but Rock Hunter has nothing to prove on this surface and has been gelded since his latest run.[Emily Weber]
