First four starts were on good to firm and he registered an ultimately authoritative win in a five-runner Listed race at Newmarket (1m2f) in May, helping to make the running and with 1m4f looking a strong option; managing just eighth of 14 in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, soft; 28-1) 13 days ago was therefore disappointing, but the earlier impression cannot yet be discarded.

Frankel colt bought for 1,100,000gns as a yearling; all four races on good to firm; Beverley and Goodwood novice wins last summer before the Group 2 Royal Lodge saw a comprehensive end to his unbeaten record; he returned to Newmarket, however, with an ultimately authoritative win in a five-runner Listed race (1m2f) five weeks ago, helping to make the running; 1m4f beckons strongly after that and he's included in each-way calculations.

J: Rowan Scott

Won fast-ground novice races at Beverley (7.4f) and Goodwood (1m) last summer on his first two starts; he's better than he showed when 14l seventh of eight in the Group 2 Royal Lodge here in September (1m, good to firm; 16-1) and has Dante/Derby entries but others have more pressing claims.

Off the mark on his sixth start when bagging Catterick maiden (7f) on his reappearance in April and it was a solid handicap debut when third at Haydock (1m, also good) one month later; latter form has been nicely advertised subsequently and he's on the shortlist.

Promise as a 2yo; gelded prior to his reappearance in which he won a 7f Catterick maiden in good style; hit with a 6lb rise for that but 1m should suit and further progress seems likely; trainer in good form.

Made all in an Ayr novice (1m, good to soft) in September, his third start, and that form has worked out; fluffed his lines when favourite for a 1m2f nursery at Nottingham one month later; has left Adrian Keatley and makes his stable/seasonal debut in a competitive race; not fully exposed and it will be interesting to see if his backers return.

Second run came in the valuable Convivial maiden at York; second favourite when winning from the front in a seven-runner novice at Ayr (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, mostly in a clear lead before holding off the 4-7 favourite by a neck; bred to stay 1m2f+; open to further improvement.

Moon Warp

9st 1lb

J: Luke Morris

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Out of unraced half-sister to Group 1 winners at 1m2f in Hong Kong; made no impact in four 2yo starts at about 7f but he did show some promise behind highly talented rivals (the winner just lost out in a recent Group 1 in France) on his Beverley debut and sharp AW tests wouldn't have suited after; everything points to improvement for the new trip now handicapping.

Fair 1m juvenile maiden; off nine months/gelded before posting a solid fifth of ten in 1m1f handicap at Carlisle last month, giving the impression he's worth a try over a longer trip; considered.

Kept on for neck second on nursery debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last September; soundly beaten at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 11 days later and he's unproven on slow ground, but he reappears having been gelded and remains one to be interested in given the Thirsk effort.

Improved for the switch to nurseries when a neck second behind Dunkeld Dreamer at Thirsk 11 days ago (1m, good) 1lb better off today but the winner wasn't doing much in front and the placings may not be reversed.
