    Form & Verdict
    Highly tried since winning on his April debut and he improved for the step up to 7f when a 66-1 third in Ascot Listed event (good to firm; Kach Above fourth) in July on his final run for David Evans; might outrun his likely odds again on this first go for new connections.

    Form & Verdict
    200,000gns breeze-up purchase who was 11-2 for his debut when he came clear with one who had experience at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) one month ago; that runner-up effort was encouraging but he'll need a firm step forward in this company; market may reveal whether that's expected.

    He was on a hat-trick when 40-1 for his first stab at a Listed race and showed improved form to finish fourth of ten at Ascot (7f, good to firm; Dandyman Dan third) in July; could perform above market expectations again.

    Form & Verdict
    Sent off 2-9 when he comfortably made a winning debut in July and he was just held by the subsequent Gimcrack winner in Newbury Listed event a fortnight later; had to work to defy a penalty in Newmarket novice (again 6f, good to firm) last month, however, and the runner-up proved underwhelming in a Group 3 on Saturday; promises to appreciate this step up to 7f, though, and he holds future Group-race entries for his powerful yard; sets the standard.

    Form & Verdict
    Justified short odds on his introduction when he won going away at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) four weeks ago; denied his eagerly anticipated second start in Sandown's Group 3 Solario due to softer ground a fortnight later; still falls into the "could be anything" category and he holds an entry in the Group 1 Dewhurst; fascinating contender.

    Form & Verdict
    Tongue tied and favourite for both starts; chased home a colt who was subsequently beaten only 1l in the Coventry on his debut at York in May (5f, good); off three months but he made no mistake when readily making all to beat four newcomers at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; goes up another furlong but his pedigree suggests that shouldn't be an issue and he's got the physical scope to progress; one of two for Karl Burke.

    Form & Verdict
    He was too green to do himself justice on his debut in July but showed the benefit of that experience when making all for a narrow win at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) a fortnight later; raced too freely when beaten 22l in York's Group 3 Acomb last time, however; holds fancy entries but will need to bounce back.

    Fine pedigree and she looked better the further she went when waltzing off with Salisbury novice (6f, good to firm) on her debut one month ago; very interesting her connections are happy for her to take on the boys and she looks likely to relish this extra furlong; must be considered.

    Steady improvement across her three starts culminated with neck success at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; this looks a tall order on her first crack at 7f.

    Betting Forcast

    22/1 Dandyman Dan, 20/1 Engraved, 28/1 Kach Above, 6/4 Nabati, 11/4 Rock Montreal, 12/1 Varzi, 25/1 Vega King, 11/4 Forbidden Fire, 50/1 Minkaas

    Verdict

    Nabati sets the standard and is respected, but he comes up against two rivals in the shape of Forbidden Fire (second choice) and ROCK MONTREAL who are 1-1 and promise plenty. Andrew Balding's filly is feared after a stylish debut, but Roger Varian's 1,000,000gns colt could be the real deal and gets the nod.[Richard Russell]
