Gelded after not living up to expectations on his debut; posted an eyecatching RPR when winning at Kempton and then followed up in one of these sales races on the July course (good), for which he was very well backed; in behind were a few of these and third was the Super Sprint winner who has since won a Group 3; big shout despite a penalty.

Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick.

His final novice (when third) was won by the Gimcrack runner-up and, after being gelded, he had a luckless Prairie Falcon behind when nailed on the line in a decent 7f nursery at Redcar (good to soft); he was never far away there after racing freely and this drop back to a stiff 6f could work for him; interesting at a price.
