Form & Verdict
All three runs have been at 6f and he's been placed in two of them, including a good second behind the favourite in a C&D novice (good) two weeks ago; that form puts him firmly in the picture here and this well-bred colt is open to more progress.

None too consistent but he ran well on his return to turf at Windsor last month and then lost his chance at the start at Bath 16 days ago (blindfold off late); on a good mark and his rider takes off a handy 5lb; interesting with new blinkers replacing a visor.

J: Ross Coakley

Sole success came in a Chester maiden in June 2024; often attracts support but flatters to deceive on many occasions; visor returns after being left off last time, and he's down to a career-low mark, but 1-16 win record is off-putting.

Form & Verdict
4,000gns yearling; half-sister to four winners but has plenty of stamina in her pedigree and she got outpaced when a well-held sixth on Thirsk debut (5f, soft) in April; now goes up in trip after a short break but she has lots to find and is probably a longer-term prospect.

Beverley fillies' maiden winner (7.5f, good to firm; 8-1) in August 2024; could strip fitter for recent Newcastle run (1m; last of six) which came after 166 days off; easing mark, plus the presence of a 7lb claimer, means she merits a market check.

Bought for 48,000gns at the breeze-ups in April; made a promising start when third of 11 at Windsor (6f, good) last month and he wasn't disgraced when in midfield in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (5f Listed) ten days ago; this step back in trip looks a positive and he sets the standard back in much calmer waters.
