Form & Verdict
Dam a maiden from the family of 1,000 Guineas winner Finsceal Beo; made a winning start for Joe Tuite in a 7f Kempton novice in October and the second showed useful form in going one better last month; promising colt but has to concede weight to some interesting opposition.

Lightly raced since making a winning debut here (7f) in October 2022; well beaten on his debut for his third different yard at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack; first-time tongue-tie) in March and has been absent for another three months since; look elsewhere.

Kempton novice winner for Eve Johnson Houghton as 2yo; had three runs for Nigel Tinkler, failing to build on a good first one, and sold on for 7,500gns; new trainer fits a tongue-tie over today's new trip (unraced beyond 1m).

Four-race maiden who was fourth of eight on handicap debut here (5f, AW) 11 days ago but he caught the eye with his late headway and could be dangerous in this step back up in trip; one to keep an eye on.

240,000gns yearling who went off a strong favourite for the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good; 5-4) but weakened back into third, still showing significant promise; that form has yet to be tested but he's probably quite smart.

Verdict

Troon could be up against it with his penalty and it would be no surprise should Green Go or Eyeshadow (second choice) offer the most resistance to NEW BUSINESS. The selection will be the first horse to come out of Newmarket’s Wood Ditton but the winner is probably very smart and, despite failing favourite backers, this colt ran a highly promising race to finish third.[Alistair Jones]
