Our Hero Matty

13-race maiden; after a promising third at Catterick (6f, good to firm) on stable debut in June, he took a backward step when fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) and beat only one home in a similar contest at Catterick 13 days ago; first-time blinkers need to have the desired effect.

Failed to progress as a 2yo and was well held in sprint handicaps on the AW and turf for previous yard; however, he shaped nicely on his debut for this one when third at Catterick (6f, good to firm) in June so now he's of more interest again.

5-7 in 2yo season, a campaign that culminated with Group 3 win at Chantilly (7f, very soft); the drop back in trip could be a positive but she's been well beaten on both starts this season, most recently in the French 1,000 Guineas; carries a 5lb penalty and a major turnaround is needed.
