3 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
Frankel colt who made virtually all to score readily when providing Frankie Dettori with a comeback winner at Newmarket (7f) a fortnight ago; has prior AW experience at Southwell and, even under a penalty, rates as a cut above these rivals; impossible to oppose.

9st 3lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: John & Thady Gosden

Notably progressive in the spring, having plenty in hand when making all in the competitive Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m, good to firm) to complete a hat-trick; however, he came unstuck in the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm; 11-4 favourite) the following month; retains potential but needs a big step forward against some high-class older opposition here.

Impressed in 7f maiden/novice races (good to soft/AW) in the first part of spring and again had plenty in hand when making all in the competitive Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last time; displayed obvious Group-race potential at Haydock and he has strong claims for his top yard.

J: Frankie Dettori

T: John & Thady Gosden

Has worn a hood on all three starts; went close on debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and won in fine style the next twice (7f, good to soft/AW); in a tough race on handicap debut but is in top hands and could prove to be better than his opening mark, provided the absence of the hood isn't an issue.

Marginal improvement when third of five to an odds-on favourite over 1m here recently; faces a stiff task on these terms but should eventually become more competitive once handicapping.

9st 7lb

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: Liam Bailey

Lightly raced 3yo who showed promise here in the spring; perhaps unsuited by heavy ground at Ayr two starts ago and by the first-time blinkers over this C&D last Tuesday (no headgear today); however, she's hard to fancy after those heavy defeats.

J: Oisin Murphy

Eight-race maiden whose form has regressed on turf, but she twice ran with credit here (7f/1m) in the spring and interesting to see if the return to this surface brings about a resurgence; blinkers given a go.

9st 3lb

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: Liam Bailey

She has failed to progress and was tailed off at Musselburgh in July; however, the cheekpieces adopted that day are left off, she's had a break since, and there are some firm pointers in her pedigree that this lightly raced 3yo could be suited by today's first encounter with testing ground.

3 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
Raced twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien, shaping as if in need of a sterner stamina test when eighth of 15 at Gowran (8.5f) in October; sold 31,000gns since; probably the likeliest threat to Covey if taking to AW.
