Tenth foal; closely related to 6f 2yo winner New Winds (RPR 85), half-brother to four winners including West Wind Blows (1m2f/1m3f including Group 3; 118) and Setting Sail (1m2f-1m4f; 112); dam 1m2f/10.5f winner (including French Oaks; 116); lots to like on paper and needs watching in market on debut.

Aajej

9st 13lb

J: Owen Lewis

T: Richard Phillips

Unplaced both turf starts and both 2m races; inconsistent on AW but took advantage of career-low mark to score by a neck over 1m6f in January on final start for the Crisfords; sported first-time blinkers that day and sold for 31,000gns the following month; cheekpieces are today's headgear and he has something to prove back on turf at 2m.

His first three attempts on AW were encouraging but he has been disappointing over 2m on his last two runs (visored latest); drops back in trip with blinkers given a go; well treated if back to his best.

J: Harry Davies

T: Simon & Ed Crisford

Didn't live up to market expectations at Haydock (1m4f, good) on debut in June but he's since stuck to his task well when placed over 1m3f and 1m4f on Southwell AW; handicap newcomer who should have more to offer.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to a 1m2f Listed winner and he's out of a Yorkshire/Irish Oaks winner; made a promising start when fourth at Windsor last month and he built on that when going close behind an odds-on rival at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm); sets a clear standard on that form and he's open to more progress upped in trip; been gelded since last run.

J: Andrew Mullen

Made all in workmanlike fashion when 5-6 in a Haydock maiden (1m4f, good) in June on third start; handicap debut (1m4f, AW debut) next time was creditable on form but he hung markedly left; last of 13 with blinkers at Glorious Goodwood (40-1) 13 days ago and now tries cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Improved on his debut form when runner-up at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April but he's not gone on from that in two runs since; had some traffic issues at Windsor last time but this looks a tough assignment on the figures and others are preferred.

Golden Horn filly out of a 1m-1m4f winner (including Listed; 107); ran green on Goodwood debut (1m2f, good) last month but was making some headway when she got hampered inside the final furlong; shaped better than the bare facts in that race and she could show a lot more on this step up in trip.

J: Tabitha Worsley

T: Dylan Cunha

Runner-up in three 2m handicaps this spring (good/good to firm), twice at Plumpton and once at Huntingdon; that form isn't anything to go wild about and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she has another big role to play here.

Has taken a marked step forward since switched to handicaps, going close when second over C&D and backing that up with an even better effort when filling the same position at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) seven days ago; another to consider.

Doesn't help herself by tending to race far too freely but belied 33-1 odds when close second on last month's handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good) and has possibilities if Tabitha Worsley can keep a lid on her again here.
