200,000gns Galileo colt who shaped well when second of ten on his C&D debut (good to soft) for Harry Charlton in April; mixed messages from that form but a bold show is still likely with improvement on the cards.

Half-brother to the smart Jimi Hendrix and out of a 7f Listed winner; didn't achieve that much when 7l third on his 1m Leicester debut 27 days ago but he caught the eye with some late progress from the rear and this son of Waldgeist can leave that bare form behind now stepping up to 1m2f.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to the same connections' 1m2f Group 2 winner Lilac Road; looked a useful prospect when making a winning start to his career at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft); the ground was much quicker when only fourth under a penalty at Redcar (1m2f again) since and he remains open to improvement back on a softer surface.

9st 1lb

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Resumed his progression when coming with a strong run from off the pace to win 12-runner race at Chester (1m2f, soft) on handicap debut and reappearance; unable to land a serious blow when performing respectably in good races over 1m2f at Goodwood (good) and Sandown (soft) since but remains unexposed and it's possible this longer trip will suit him; Tom Marquand sides with Dramatic Star but there's still plenty to like.

Failed to build last summer upon his winning debut but he came from the back to win 12-runner race at Chester (1m2f, soft; from Grey Cuban) this June on handicap/seasonal debut; never able to challenge when favourite at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) on latest outing but not discredited and worth another chance to confirm the good impression made at Chester.

Reached the frame in a pair of AW novices at up to 9.4f around the turn of the year; fitted with a hood switched to turf after six months off; has the potential for better but her pedigree suggests she may not really come into her own until tackling 1m4f+.

Has been suited by the return to 1m at Sandown (good) on last two starts, finding plenty with contrasting tactics; this easier track raises questions but she's likely to make this a good test; probably acts on good to soft (unraced on slower); every chance after 3lb rise.

Had been finding little at trips beyond 1m1f and the return to 1m for the first time since her debut was a good move over C&D (good; hood discarded) 19 days ago when not hard pressed to reel in the long-time leader and win a shade cosily; up 5lb but seems likely to come up with more.
