Dam a Listed-placed 1m4f winner and half-sister to 2,000 Guineas winner Golan; 9-1 at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) and was beaten only just over 4l despite showing distinct inexperience; no surprise should he leave that form behind today.

Great Voltigeur entry; the ground was good to soft when the striking winner of a 1m2f Newmarket handicap on his reappearance in April but good when well held in a Listed race back there at the Guineas meeting; not seen since (withdrawn from a few intended engagements due to quick ground) but he's proved he's capable when fresh and ground conditions seem likely to be in his favour; big player.

Late foal; refused to enter the stalls once as 2yo; had wind and gelding operations early this year; improving with his two places as 2yo and a reappearance win from the front when 8-13 in 11-runner novice at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in June; this hot race for handicap debut demands more but he was dominant for that win and is likely to stay.

5,000gns yearling; thrown in at the deep end for his debut in a valuable sales race on the July course here (6f, good; 125-1) and he did well to be around only 6l off the principals after starting slowly; if not flattered by that then he could well take a hand.

Unsuited by soft ground last time out but a solid contender in 1m4f turf handicaps previously; higher in the weights than when winning his latest two AW races, over 1m4f at Lingfield, but the manner of the most recent win suggests the return to AW will be a good move; respected.

Successful three times (on AW and good to firm) this season; ran well at Newbury (1m4f, good) three weeks ago despite finishing lame; drying ground would be in his favour, as he finished last on both his outings on softer than good; raised another 3lb though.

Showed plenty more at Kempton (1m, AW; first-time tongue-tie) second time out but still finished adrift of The Renegade and there are others he needs to worry about; more than likely one for another day.
