9st 2lb

J: Rowan Scott

T: Charlie Johnston

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.

9st 2lb

J: David Egan

T: Charlie Johnston

1,100,000gns Frankel colt; has been more workmanlike than flashy in winning his novices at Beverley and Goodwood (1m; both on good to firm) but there's no knocking an unbeaten start and he might be the type who only does enough in his races (reportedly a lazy worker at home); has to improve at this level but that's very feasible.

J: Rowan Scott

1,100,000gns Frankel colt whose dam is sister to 1m2f-1m4f Group 1/Grade 1 winner Midday; 8-11 in a five-runner novice at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) four weeks ago and won it in a sustained duel, rallying strongly; the form isn't exciting at this stage but he looks sure to improve; has Group 2 Royal Lodge and Group 1 Dewhurst entries.

J: Ashley Lewis

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.

J: Paul Mulrennan

Fair form at around 7f on going ranging from good to firm to good to soft last year; below par when turned over at short odds over 6f on soft final start; reappears having been gelded; sure to be thereabouts if recapturing anywhere near the best of his 2yo 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.

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.

Unplaced all three starts and failed to beat a rival at Beverley (7.4f) on latest; more to prove than the rest of these but it's possible he'll take a step forward on today's nursery debut.
