Good start when fourth of five but only beaten about 2l on his debut at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July and was demoted from first for interference back there (1m, good) the following month; has been gelded and looks very difficult to oppose; AW debut.

12-1, fourth of five on debut here (7f, good to firm) last month; however, he was green and beaten only about 2l, and the stable's first string who was runner-up has since gone one better; bright prospect.

$950,000 yearling; made a pleasing start to his career when third of five in a good Sandown novice 24 days ago (7f, good to firm); should be more streetwise this time and he's the one to beat.

Pleasing third of five when stepped up to 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month and did the business under those conditions next time, getting the better of the hot favourite; had over 2l to spare at the line and a 5lb rise could have been worse; tough to beat.

Gifted the run of the race over C&D (third; 9-1) three weeks ago, but couldn't make it count, weakening behind two better-fancied rivals; a similar scenario could unfold here with stamina reserves inconclusive over 1m4f; 1lb lower.

Some promise as 2yo despite facing tough tasks, but he didn't achieve a lot on his handicap debut here (about 1m; favourite) two weeks ago and his pedigree raises stamina questions; has something to prove.

Looked fortunate to win at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July on debut; third of five in a novice on the July Course here (1m, good to firm) in August but, having been gelded, failed to stay in a nursery at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; drop back in trip may help but others are more solid.

Both starts on good to firm; fortuitous winner at Sandown (7f; runner-up unlucky) but wasn't disgraced under a penalty at Newmarket (1m); gelded since; this Godolphin runner remains open to progress and must go on the shortlist.

13-2 and the apparent stable second-string when winning on last month's debut at Sandown (7f, good to firm); the unlucky runner-up has since gone one better; now carries a penalty against some interesting opponents but this half-brother to a Group 3 winner could have lots more to offer.

Smartly bred colt, by Kingman and first foal of US 1m-1m1f turf winner (including Grade 2; RPR 106) who is sister to Coventry winner Arizona; the Juddmonte first string, with Colin Keane on board; very interesting.

Well-bred son of Kingman who was unlucky at Sandown on debut before going one better there later in July (7f, good; pulled clear with runner-up); missed the Group 3 Solario over the same C&D in August due to the soft ground; should stay at least 1m; exciting type with lots of untapped potential.

Unlucky second in interesting C&D novice event (good to firm) that comprised only newcomers, finishing nicely once in the clear and leaving the impression he'd have won but for a prolonged lack of daylight; leading claims.
