By Blue Point; gelded first foal of 6f-7f winner Excellent Times, who improved significantly with age for Tim Easterby; wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary in order to make a successful debut and the market will doubtless tell a story.

Form & Verdict
Found the ideal opening at Chepstow a month ago but managed to get turned over at 1-12 in first-time headgear (off tonight) and no surprise to see he's since been gelded; helps set the standard for a yard enjoying a fine spell.

Star Of Mali

9st 6lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: James Tate

Made the breakthrough with a smooth win at Southwell (7f) in October but only sixth of 13 on return visit in November; has a bit to prove now but he's still lightly raced and is feasibly treated on his penultimate run.

0-6 but runner-up three times, including when beaten half a length at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) six days ago; that proved his stamina and a major player from the same mark.

All runs over sprint trips, showing best form when second in a 5f maiden at Leicester in July; some encouragement for this trip on pedigree and he could take a step forward now handicapping.

Came clear with a couple of useful fillies on her Yarmouth debut in the spring and started a short price at Windsor early in the month as a result; didn't want to jump away that day, though, before dwelling and pulling hard on the AW last Monday (all 6f); risks involved.

Broke her duck in a Southwell handicap last month then bungled the start before seeing little daylight when fourth of 18 at Ascot (6f, good to firm; Fantasy Master third) 19 days ago; looked to finish that event with a fair bit more to give and she's a key player.

Typically lost ground at the start over C&D 24 days ago but came through to win under Oisin Orr; there may be enough pace in here, with the likes of Shazani, to set it up for the closers but 5lb rise demands more.
