Late foal; Fastnet Rock half-brother to top stable's Group 1 2yo Fillies' Mile winner Commissioning; made his debut only three weeks ago, when second favourite and leading over 2f out to win eight-runner novice at Hamilton (1m3f, heavy) in clearcut style from the evens favourite who won a big handicap last Saturday; that was a highly promising start.

Form & Verdict
Late foal; fourth foal; Galileo close relation to French 7f winner Bravais (1m4f Group 2-placed; RPR 115); dam 6f winner (including 2yo Group 2; 110), half-sister to winners Love (7f-1m4f Group 1), Peach Tree (1m6f Group 3) and Flattering (1m4f Group 3) who were all by Galileo; lots to like there and she needs a close look, from the same stable as Valvano.

J: Rossa Ryan

13-2, made a promising start when second of six in novice at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) in September; this daughter of Galileo is one to take seriously with better to come, especially as her stamina is drawn out more.

Form & Verdict
Late foal; 8-11 when wide-margin winner of a maiden at Nottingham (1m, heavy) last October; weak 13-2 for a conditions event at Kempton (1m, AW) in April and was put in his place in second, but that was by Notable Speech, who won the 2,000 Guineas next time, and a smart sort was third; absent since (gelded in June) but this longer trip will suit and he's the pick on form; Group 2 entry this month.

J: Hector Crouch

Wide-margin winner of a 1m Nottingham maiden (heavy) on sole start last term; useful form in two of his three races this season, latterly when always-prominent third of 13 on handicap debut at York (10.2f, soft) four weeks ago; needs to build on that and see it out better but he's easily the most lightly raced horse in the field and his dam won at 1m4f.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Ralph Beckett

Wide-margin winner of a 1m Nottingham maiden (heavy) on debut last October and useful effort when chasing home Notable Speech in a 1m Kempton conditions event six months later; turned over at odds on in a 1m2f Salisbury novice (good to soft) four weeks ago back from another break but it was no bad effort and he remains a good prospect; very interesting handicap newcomer.

Form & Verdict
Well-related 4yo who didn't run for the Gosdens; off the mark at Worcester (good) in June in his third bumper; showed some ability at 66-1 in a Southwell novice (1m4f, AW) ten days ago on debut under Flat rules but can't be fancied yet in this sphere.
