Form & Verdict
Twice-raced colt from the Gosden yard; has shown clear promise with his second-place finishes at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and Kempton (1m3f, AW), latest behind an odds-on stablemate; very likely to stay 1m4f and holds solid claims.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: John & Thady Gosden

Well held in soft-ground St Leger; otherwise a largely progressive sort at up to 1m6f; has dropped back to 1m4f this season, getting up on the line at Newbury (Group 3) then respectable third at Royal Ascot (Group 2) where a stronger pace would have suited; remains of interest, with this race likely to pan out favourably.

Won the Melrose Handicap at York (1m6f, good to firm) last August and bounced back from soft-ground St Leger flop for Listed win here (1m6f, good) last October; returned with win in Group 3 Aston Park Stakes at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month, when clear with one who readily went one better in Listed race next time; this 4yo is firmly on the up for his top yard; player.

Won the highly competitive Melrose Handicap at last year's Ebor meeting (1m6f, good to firm); well behind Desert Hero in the St Leger next time (only time he's tackled soft ground) but resumed his progression with success in a 1m6f Ascot Listed race (good) on his final 3yo start; everything about his profile points to him doing even better at four.

Form & Verdict
Superbly bred, being a Nathaniel half-brother to Baaeed and Hukum; stayed on for second at Newbury (1m2f, good; tongue-tie applied) when last seen ten weeks ago, improving on his Leicester debut form; looks likely to relish this longer distance and progress further; respected.

Performed well twice over C&D last term but had the run of the race when belying his 33-1 odds for neck success at Listed level in September (good to soft) and looks no certainty to defy a 3lb penalty back here, unless things again fall his way.

Has raced as far as 2m1f in 2024 and never shorter than 1m2f; third at last year's Royal Ascot came over 1m4f but he broke a losing sequence when diverted from top handicaps to a 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood last September; the prospect of 1m now doesn't seem so ridiculous but a career best is needed.

On a two-year losing spell and is 0-6 for current yard; still capable of very useful form, having been placed in handicaps at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood this summer; however, this seems a harder task.

Form & Verdict
Good second at Kempton (1m3f, AW) most recently, improving on her turf efforts; still unexposed but has a bit to prove back on grass and, with a mark of 73, handicaps may prove her ideal scene.
