Form & Verdict
200,000gns yearling who has a classy pedigree and was a well-backed winner at 5-4 on debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May; had just over 2l to spare from solid yardstick who was well clear of the third; leading claims for trainer who won a division of this last year with one carrying a penalty.

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Unplaced all five starts since winning his first two races, but there have been excuses; shaped well after making much of the running in the Royal Hunt Cup, and then used up too much energy from a wide draw in the Golden Mile at Goodwood; dropping back from 1m to 7f is an interesting move and he still has untapped potential.

Lightly raced 4yo who looked a smart prospect early doors and whose disappointing runs are perhaps best forgiven in hindsight; had wind surgery prior to a resurgence, leading his group for a very long way, in the Royal Hunt Cup (handicap debut); interesting assuming he builds on that effort.

Commenced his career with a novice double, looking a smart prospect; disappointing in his three races (Group/conditions) since, gelded prior to latest, but is on an attractive mark assuming another physical tweak (wind surgery) prompts a turnaround and fulfilment of the early promise.

4yo who made belated debut at Ffos Las (1m, good) last Wednesday and was a fair third of 13 at 33-1, albeit no match for the first two; this well-bred gelding cost 300,000euros back in 2022 and could have lots more to offer; not ruled out.

Positives to take from each of his three starts over 1m in novice/maiden company; it looks as if he'll come into his own over 1m2f+ and the fact his sister Miss Dolly Rocker won at up to 1m4f bodes well; interesting handicap debutant; hood no longer deemed necessary.

Sole run on good to firm was last July when tailed off in a novice race; staying-on third here (1m4f) this June and he knuckled down well to score over 2m2f at Pontefract (also on good) eight days later; that win was the first time he'd worn this headgear combination and his first go at a staying trip on the Flat; up 4lb but probably has more to offer and he's a big player if he goes on the ground.
