9st 3lb |
Highly progressive over 6f, most recently emulating his best sibling Earthlight by landing the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes at this venue (soft; raced on good previously); that emphatic 4l success took his record to 3-4 and earned him a big new rating (the highest in this field); supplemented for this contest at a cost of £35,000 and holds a leading chance provided he stays the extra furlong (pedigree suggests it won't be an issue). |

9st 2lb |
All starts over 6f on good going (withdrawn from the Mill Reef at Newbury last week due to heavy ground); solid effort in the Gimcrack (Group 2) at York took his form figures to 112; progressing well and is bred for this occasion, being closely related to 2019 Middle Park winner Earthlight. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
One of three runners for Aidan O'Brien; edged ahead close home in blanket finish to Curragh maiden (7f, good) last Saturday for a winning debut; open to progress but it's difficult to rate that form highly and he needs sharp improvement to follow up; bottom of this pack on bare figures. |

3rd 1 (6) |
12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Dubawi colt who is unbeaten in three starts, all at the Newmarket tracks (6f/7f, good/good to firm); absent since beating Seagulls Eleven and subsequent Royal Lodge winner Wimbledon Hawkeye in the Superlative Stakes three months ago; that race has thrown up the Dewhurst winner in two of the last three years, including Native Trail for this yard; strong contender, for all that William Buick deserts him for stablemate Shadow Of Light. |
9/4 |

1st 1 (2) |
13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Promising colt who has won a couple of Newmarket novice events (good to firm) with something to spare, latest over C&D; sire Dubawi won this race in 2004 and trainer has landed this prize four times in the last eight years; very strong credentials. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Promising second on soft ground on debut, raced on good/firmer since; went one better on second outing and has subsequently shown very useful form, finishing second to Ancient Truth in the Superlative at Newmarket then third in the National Stakes at the Curragh; proving a solid type but, judged on ratings, again looks set for minor honours. |

Son of his trainer's 2,000 Guineas winner Galileo Gold; both starts over 7f at Haydock (soft/good to firm); won going away latest, building on debut promise, and looks interesting upped in class with further improvement a clear possibility. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
More exposed than his two stablemates in this field, having been beaten about 5l in both runs since winning a 7f maiden at the Galway festival; held by Seagulls Eleven on National Stakes running last time and looks well short of Dewhurst standard. |

24th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Half-brother to Oaks winner Snowfall; ran green on debut over C&D; experience stood to him when winning at Galway; smart middle-distance prospect in the longer term, likely to find stablemate Henri Matisse too quick here. |
