Form & Verdict
Built on his promising Kempton debut as a 2yo when making all in a Newmarket novice (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last April (held Dante/Derby entries at the time); not seen since, but the form of that race worked out well and he remains a colt of potential.

J: William Buick

T: Andrew Balding

Two wins on the two Newmarket courses this season (1m, good to firm/good), the latest coming last month when held up; only fifth to Asmen Warrior at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago but saw plenty of daylight in a prominent position and may not have been seen to best effect; this lightly raced 4yo remains one to be interested in.

J: Ryan Moore

T: Andrew Balding

Won on the Rowley Mile here (1m, good to firm) in May and bounced back from a lesser run at Newbury to win over this C&D (good) three weeks ago; it was a blanket finish last time but he's just 2lb higher today and the fourth has won since; this progressive 4yo is now 4-8 and is high on the list.

Form & Verdict
Best of her nine starts when second of eight on stable debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last month, but didn't back it up at Kempton eight days ago; looks vulnerable to an improver back up in trip.

Just held on to win tactical race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in June and seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when clear second to revitalised rival over C&D (good to firm) on Tuesday; commands respect.

Off the mark at the 15th attempt in a steadily run race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month, but didn't match that form off the same mark at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) one week later; needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces for last year's winning stable.

Form & Verdict
Group 2-placed in Germany, but hasn't landed a telling blow in three starts here including on stable debut at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last month; now 0-8 and a couple of these are open to more improvement.

Beaten less than 10l in the German Derby last year; nowhere near that form for Marco Botti or Jamie Osborne but getting back on slower ground could help.

Ex-German, beaten less than 10l in the German Derby last year; nowhere near that form in two starts for Marco Botti and similar story on his three outings for this yard; gelded before his front-running fourth of ten at Nottingham (1m2f) on Wednesday on handicap debut.

Ex-German; well held in two maidens for Marco Botti last year and a similar story in two novice events for this stable; gelded since last seen in February and has cheekpieces back on for his handicap debut, so he's worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Dual bumper winner last year and showed promise in the first of her two starts over hurdles; pedigree doesn't suggest this trip in a small field on her Flat debut is likely to suit, though.
