55,000gns 2yo (last month's breeze-ups); unraced dam from talented family (half-sister to Dubai World Cup winner Monterosso, among others); top trainer is having another fine season with his 2yos and this Kodiac colt is firmly in calculations on debut.

Beaten 16 times since his winning 2yo debut but there have been several good runs along the way; two midfield finishes in good handicaps this summer; edging down the weights and he should be popping up soon.

0-15 since debut win in May 2024 but often ran well off marks in the 90s in some quality handicaps last season, including over C&D; respectable sixth of 14 on recent reappearance at Thirsk and could build on that run today.

Shaped well when second at Hamilton on debut (5f, soft) but hasn't progressed and was well beaten on nursery debut at York last time (6f, good to soft); this is easier but has a bit to prove.

Kept on for encouraging second of five on debut at Hamilton (5f, soft) in May; unable to build on that the next twice (6f/5f, good/AW) but could be on a handy opening mark if rediscovering his initial promise.

40,000gns yearling; seventh living foal; half-brother to four winners notably Well Done Fox (5f 2yo Listed); dam 5f winner (including 2yo/Listed); this Zoustar colt is bred to win races and the betting could be informative on debut; trainer also runs the twice-raced East Tyrone.

Hasn't finished out of the first three in five starts here, including a win over this trip on good in April; well beaten at Pontefract in first-time blinkers latest but his course record affords him respect with regular cheekpieces also back in place.

Form & Verdict
Merely sixth of eight at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time but prior to that he was a promising second of four on debut at Doncaster (5f, good to soft); he's the only one here with the benefit of experience and may well be back on slow ground today, which could be a positive; respected.

Infrequent winner (2-29); placed six times on AW since narrow win at Wolverhampton (6f; 18-1) in early January; failed to figure from a wide draw at Catterick (7f) latest so needs to bounce back; more appeal than stablemate Kitaab.

Doesn't find winning easy (2-28) but is consistent for the level; third in four of his last five AW starts, including when keeping on behind Mount Ruapehu at Southwell (6f; 14-1) 23 days ago; wide draw isn't ideal for turf return; stablemate of Indy's Angel.

Regressive 4yo who has dropped 15lb since the autumn; kept on pretty well from the rear for third of seven at Ripon (6f, good) last week, though, and this stiffer track ought to suit him better.
