Well-connected son of Gleneagles; made a low-key start at a biggish price at Ascot (7f) last month but he showed promise with his third of six behind an odds-on rival at Chelmsford (1m, AW; 100-30) two weeks ago; should continue to improve with experience and he's respected.

Well-connected colt who was unfancied and ultimately well beaten on 7f debut at Ascot (20-1) in July; the experience and extra furlong can suit but middle distances should prove more suitable.

Fared best of the newcomers when third of seven at Lingfield (1m, AW; 9-1) last month, never far away; his stable's 2yos often make a big step forward from debut to second run and he has to be respected.

Disappointing at 9-2 on Newmarket debut in May, but he returned after a gelding operation with a much improved third under prominent tactics at Doncaster (7f, good) last month; sets good standard on that form and he's open to more progress on this step up to 1m; key player.
