9st 2lb |
All three 2yo starts were on softer than good, winner of novice contests at Ffos Las (7.3f) and Nottingham (8.3f); completed his hat-trick in six-runner handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW) ten weeks ago, never in doubt at 8-11 after he quickened on 2f out; up 7lb and on probably different ground but he's been winning in some style and has more to give. |

Very green when coming through for debut win at Dundalk (10.5f, AW) in January; last of five next time, but travelled best and kept on when close third of seven to Naval Force at level weights in a median auction contest at Roscommon (10.4f, soft), still looking green under pressure; fair chance he will stay 1m4f and big chance that his best is still ahead of him. |

Began this season with three consecutive wins in the spring (1m2f-1m4f) and was placed in Royal Ascot handicap (1m4f, good to firm) on next outing; absent since a lesser run in July (gelded in the meantime) but further progress is certainly not out of the question. |

Unraced on firmer than good; rather put in his place in a Group 3 on final 2yo start and two Listed races this season, but he rallied well when a close third to Birdman (Wednesday's Queen's Vase third) over 1m5f at Navan last time and perhaps could have done with setting a stronger pace; top trainer (runs four) won this in 2019 and has had two runners on the premises since. |

Eight Flat races for Ralph Beckett, winning only on debut but showing useful form at up to 1m4f; made 200,000gns in October; has sometimes been headstrong (one of his best efforts was sole start in a hood) and although he represents notable new connections, he's not jumped a hurdle in public. |

Same connections won this race last year; confined to three runs this spring, taking major steps forward; surged well clear from the rest in the closing stages of a maiden at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and, although the opposition that day looked fair at best, he's an exciting prospect whose dam is a 1m4f winner. |

8st 8lb |
Runner-up in a C&D novice (good) before going one better at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW); there's stamina in the family but she managed only fourth of five on handicap debut over 1m4f at Newmarket and tailed off when making the running back at 1m2f there on latest start; needs to reverse the slide. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
First three starts were 1m2f, runner-up at Chelmsford (AW) and Goodwood (good) before going one better in a novice back at Chelmsford; there's stamina in the family, so 1m4f for handicap debut here 13 days ago looked interesting but she managed just fourth of five (good to firm) and major overall improvement is needed; stable has superb record in this race. |
