230,000gns breeze-up buy last year; raced with choke out and was turned over at odds of 4-7 on debut at Hamilton (5f, good) that May; second run has been a long time coming and he's now gelded; market vibes are awaited with interest.

95,000euros yearling, 230,000gns 2yo breeze-ups; Starspangledbanner half-brother to winners Janoobi (7f/1m; RPR 103), Celtic Chieftain (5f 2yo; 84) and Lumacho (5f 2yo; 76); dam 5f/6f winner (including 2yo; 99); purchase price catches the eye and his trainer does very well with 2yos here.

Form & Verdict
All runs on the AW (6f/7f); third in the first three and a visor now joins the tongue-tie after disappointing favourite backers last time; if the new aid has a positive effect then he'd have every chance.

Third twice over C&D last autumn and same again when close up at Southwell (6f, AW) on reappearance; best form was on second start (before wind surgery) and he kept on stoutly last time, suggesting a return to 7f would suit; gelded since; firmly in calculations.

Again third, but good step forward in RPR terms, when kept to 7f at Kempton in November; the winner was making it 2-2 for Godolphin and the second won next time; has undergone wind surgery since and tongue-tie is retained here; yards 3yos are going particularly well and this one could add to their tally.

Form & Verdict
Well-bred filly but proving expensive to follow, finishing second in three of her six races; slow starts have held her back in the last two of those; in receipt of weight she'll be thereabouts if giving herself a chance.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Ed Walker

Well-bred filly but proving expensive to follow, beaten at 11-8 or shorter in three of her five starts; didn't get a clear run at it at Thirsk 18 days ago and still wasn't beaten far; up in class but likely to make a bold bid.

J: George Downing

T: Ed Walker

Frankel filly who took a step forward on her handicap debut when second (for the third time) of eight at Leicester (6f) in May, coming home clear of her group; up 2lb but has more to offer and can gain a deserved first win.

Betting Forcast

4/6 Storm Force, 200/1 Blazing Gaden, 100/30 Gold Star Gazing, 11/4 Frantic

Verdict

With Gold Star Gazing (second choice) and Frantic below par last time out this looks best left to STORM FORCE who won as he liked at Southwell.[Alistair Jones]
