90,000gns yearling; 3-1, he was nicely on top in the finish when making the ideal start at Newcastle (1m) and this Masar colt holds an entry in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes; promising.

2-2 last season and handed tough tasks in Group 3 races on first two starts this year; it's too soon to write him off but he's failed to threaten in handicaps the last twice and needs to turn things around.

Two from two as 2yo, in an Epsom conditions race (8.5f, good) on second occasion; creditable form when put in his place in Group 3s at Longchamp (10.5f, very soft) and Chester (1m4f, good) this season, in the latter racing rather freely in the first-time cheekpieces (retained today) and perhaps stretched by the trip; needs improvement but his sights are lowered.

2 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
Fetched roughly 370,000euros at the breeze-ups earlier this year; 15-2, he was knocked out of contention when a close fourth at Haydock and the front two didn't disgrace that form at Newmarket on Thursday; he's in the Futurity and looks a promising colt.

Returned from ten months off to win a Southwell maiden (1m) in August; that is strong form and a subsequent defeat in a 1m2f handicap on good to soft turf shouldn't be held against him; pedigree points to AW being more suitable than turf and there could be plenty more to come from him.

Showed promise last autumn on both 2yo starts (1m, good) and came clear with very useful yardstick to win Southwell maiden (1m, AW) on last month's reappearance; cost 370,370euros at last year's breeze-ups and has potential off his handicap debut mark, especially now up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Wasn't beaten all that far in the 7f Chesham at Royal Ascot and then hung right on exiting the stalls and crashed through the running rail next time at Windsor; showed further foibles when hanging to his left en route to winning at Kempton (1m); the runner-up went one better at Yarmouth next time; quirky but talented and has a Group 1 entry.

Record of only 1-8 for Andrew Balding and has looked quirky but he appeared to run very well in the Derby (1m4f, good to soft; 50-1 fifth of 16) most recently; has since changed ownership and stable; leading claims provided the Epsom effort is backed up.

His 2yo season was chaotic at times, including when winning a 1m AW novice, but there was no sign of awkwardness here on final 2yo start, nor when bearing up well in a tight finish to 1m Listed AW race on return; made most of the running and kept on steadily in 1m2f Listed race at Newmarket (good) since and this step up in trip should suit on pedigree; needs to find much more but the yard's outsiders have proved well worth a look in this race.

Big price for Goodwood debut and didn't show much on soft; however, she made all on good to firm at Newmarket (1m) and that's form is strong, with the third previously placed in a Group 3 and the runner-up winning what looked a good maiden at Newmarket on Thursday.

Won at Newmarket as a 2yo; inconsistent this term and proved a disappointing favourite at Redcar most recently; good second over C&D in April but isn't certain to reproduce that form.

Favourably handicapped on her 2yo win but has lacked consistency since and isn't guaranteed to back up her latest effort (made the frame on AW); less appealing than the other 3yo in this field.
