Form & Verdict
300,000gns yearling; first foal from a 7f Group 3 winner (RPR 110); makes his racecourse debut at a realistic level, and is seemingly well regarded given a provisional entry in next year's Irish 2,000 Guineas; trainer is operating at a 20% juvenile strike-rate in 2023; intriguing.

0-15 since winning his first three starts; however, he went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) two starts ago despite trouble in running and was again denied a clear run when sixth there (7f, good) last time; could be in the mix if getting the breaks.

Drawn a blank since winning first three starts for Roger Varian but surely would have put that right over C&D (good) last time with more luck in running, going down by only a head despite being repeatedly denied a run in the penultimate furlong; might need the breaks if he's dropped in from the outside stall but still has to be high on the list.

Form & Verdict
Fourth foal from a dam who was a winner between 1m2f and 1m6f (including Group 3; RPR 105); slowly away and green throughout when a never dangerous seventh of 11 on debut at Southwell (7f novice, 80-1) last week; likely needs time and a greater emphasis on stamina to prove more competitive.

towards rear, pushed along 3f out, ridden and steady headway on near side of group 2f out, led inside final furlong, soon drifted left, bumped inside final 110yds, headed towards finish, kept on

Made a green debut at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month, before a big step up on that when a 25-1 second at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) nine days later, separating the front two in the market; bred to appreciate this step up in trip and looks a big player.

220,000gns 2yo; had wide draw to overcome, and he couldn't, on debut in relatively low-key 7f novice at Chelmsford but there were signs of ability in fourth of 16; no surprise if he benefits from the run and shows more.

Form & Verdict
Cost 110,000euros in May; too green to do himself justice on debut at Southwell (1m novice; eighth of 11, beaten 9l by a stablemate of Annafel; 22-1) a fortnight ago; drops in distance, which could suit based on speedy pedigree; needs plenty more though.

Never offered much in 7f/1m novices on the AW and the same again on handicap debut over 1m2f at Yarmouth; the tongue-tie tried there is swiftly discarded; lots to prove after that run.

Form & Verdict
Slowly away and failed to stake a claim on Thirsk debut (7f, soft); gelded prior to next start, which was only marginally better (1m, Kempton; seventh of ten; 50-1); fitted with headgear here, but probably better suited to handicapping after this third run.
