It's hard to be confident on the back of his heavy nursery debut defeat here (6f, good to firm) in August but he showed considerable promise previously, when runner-up in both a Carlisle novice (6f, good to firm) and a Naas sales race (6f, soft); 7f could suit and no surprise to see a big run.

U S Navy Flag colt who made an encouraging start when a 2l fifth of 11 at Thirsk (5f, soft) 13 days ago; was caught a bit wider than ideal in that race and could be dangerous if he can build on that.

Fair form on debut when third of seven at Hamilton (5f, good; Lieutenant Rascal second) last month and stepped up from that when making all in a Pontefract novice (6f, good to firm) seven days later; still looked green but plenty more will be needed from him in order to figure in this company.

48,000euros half-sister to four winners notably Ardenode (5f 2yo Listed) and Dandy Dinmont (5f/6f; 85); finished third of four at Nottingham (soft) but she ran well for a long way and was only beaten 2l; that form puts her in the picture here and she's open to progress on this switch to quicker ground.

Looked one to keep onside when making a successful nursery debut at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in July, but not matched that form in either start off this mark (both in cheekpieces) since; needs to bounce back and perhaps fast ground suits her better.

Yard won two of the last three runnings of this; patiently ridden from a wide stall when winning off 6lb lower at Lingfield in July (6f, good to firm) but was some way below that level on to soft ground in first-time cheekpieces (retained) latest, which gives her something to prove.

2 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
Made a low-key start at Beverley but he left that form a long way behind when a keeping-on third at Pontefract (good; 33-1) two weeks ago; still looked inexperienced in that race and this well-bred colt has plenty of scope for further progress; key player.
