170,000euros foal, 260,000gns yearling; third foal; dam unraced half-sister to 5f 2yo Listed winner Riflescope out of 1m2f-winning sister to 7f Listed winner Red Liason and half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner Redstone Dancer; powerful yard has had two good 2yo winners recently, so market support would probably be a strong signal.

Well treated on last season's best efforts and a recent run at Thirsk should have sharpened him up; trip and ground suit and he is another to consider in an open race.

Form & Verdict
120,000euros yearling; late foal, well-bred No Nay Never colt; 11-4, always prominent when giving the experienced favourite plenty to think about in four-runner maiden at Ayr (5f, good) five weeks ago; this extra 1f looks sure to suit and he can improve but Thunder Blue's form looks a cut above.

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Charlie Johnston

Having dropped in the weights he made an immediate impact on AW in February, recording a quick hat-trick in 1m handicaps at Newcastle, Lingfield and Wolverhampton; career-best effort when second in a 1m handicap at Newcastle last month but his form dipped at Wolverhampton 13 days ago; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Charlie Johnston

Appeared to lose his way after completing an AW hat-trick at the start of the year (including a win over C&D), but he bounced right back to form when beaten half a length into second of 13 at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last Saturday; off the same mark (due a 1lb rise) and major chance if repeating that effort; stable also runs Never Fear.

Landed a hat-trick early in the year, including a win over C&D, but has lost his way since, latterly when tailed off in first-time headgear (removed today) seven weeks ago; isn't easily recommended.

Fourth in two of his four starts last year including on nursery debut at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta; first start since being gelded), but a well-beaten last of eight on his Wolverhampton return (8.6f, Tapeta) last month; blinkers replace cheekpieces, but the outside stall won't make things easy.

Form & Verdict
58,000euros yearling; late foal, with stamina in the dam's family; unseated his rider before a newcomers race at Chantilly (6f, good to soft) early in May, then faded into a well-beaten sixth of eight; gelded since; it's possible he is capable of much better.

Raced freely when 8l third at Kempton latest (7f, Polytrack); may be capable of picking up one of these at some point but will need improvement to defy this mark.
