23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
AW Group 3 winner last September and bettered that form when 2.75l fourth to Wise Approach (Brussels second, Coppull third) in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) later that month; late headway for seventh of 14 in 5f Group 3 back at Newmarket on reappearance; likely to benefit from the return to 6f but whether he's quite good enough remains to be seen. |

All races at 6f, improving on front-running novice (good to firm) and AW Group 3 wins when beaten less than 3l in the Group 1 Middle Park on this course in September; from a yard that's much respected with sprinters but this still asks a lot on the drop to 5f. |

Winless after debut (5f, good to firm) last spring but he did finish second in Listed race (5f, good to soft) and Group 2 (6f, soft) in France; however, this looks a stern assignment for his reappearance and it's over 20 years since a 3yo won this race. |

Cost 270,000gns as a yearling; bred to go further but he didn't look short of speed when waving goodbye to the opposition at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and the runner-up, who cost some 500,000gns as a yearling, didn't appear to be unfancied; the time wasn't mind-blowing but he looks hugely exciting, especially as connections expected him to come on plenty for that initial experience; James Doyle prefers him to Underwriter who runs in the same colours. |

Won twice on AW last year but he took his form to a new level when fourth of 14 in a York sales race last October (7f, good); lumped up 11lb for that but showed there was no fluke about the performance by finishing second in a C&D handicap on his reappearance 16 days ago (behind Sovereign Spell); didn't look in love with the track on that occasion but he is on an upward path and remains unexposed as a sprinter; 4lb rise demands more though. |

Appeared to run well in valuable prize at York (7f) on final 2yo start but an 11lb rise in his mark doesn't help in this ongoing bid for a first turf success; 2-2 on AW, both performances at Newcastle (6f/7f). |

Sole success came in four-runner Hamilton maiden (5f, good to soft) but it was a fine effort when second at 66-1 in very valuable sales race at the Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm) and bettered that form when runner-up in Listed event back here (good) in October; floundered on heavy ground next time, however, and down the field in Newmarket handicap on return; work to do even if this track brings out the best in him again. |

Gave trouble in the stalls on his first two runs last year (gelded afterwards) but also showed a good level of ability; made no mistake in a 7f novice at Wolverhampton in December, running out the easy winner of a race that has been subsequently been franked; bred to carry on improving and the drop in trip shouldn't be an issue; leading claims. |

0-6 but he's recorded RPRs in the 70s in all of his runs, including when second at Catterick (7f, good) and Southwell (7f, AW) this spring; sets a clear standard back on turf and he has shaped as though this drop to 6f could suit. |

Verdict
Handicap newcomer Thunder Call is a tempting option under crack Australian jockey Zac Lloyd but this could go to FIRST LEGION (nap), who has run well on all three previous visits to York and is edging down the weights. Red Spells Danger was seriously impressive at Hamilton and is third choice ahead of Advertised, who had an excuse at Newmarket last time. Postmodern is respected for his bang-in-form yard and good cases can be made for lots of the others, too, including Cape Ashizuri, Man Of Vision, Chicago Pope, Fortification and Alaminos.[Ben Hutton]
