Form: 61-2 BF

W: 9st 7lb

3 yo Colt

OR: 87

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the second attempt last year (7f); backed as if defeat was out of the question on his return in a Southwell novice last month (1m) but he hung badly left and was chinned on the line; it's of significant interest that connections pick this as his next assignment over say a 0-90 handicap.

Has finished behind some of today's rivals on two occasions, latest in the Craven when admittedly running well on bare figures; gained sole success (from five attempts) at novice level and looks well short of the required standard in this field; first-time headgear needs to make a difference.

Scored at Newbury when last seen on turf; looked flattered to finished just under 2l behind Hidden Force, who had something in hand, at Kempton most recently and is unlikely to reverse the placings; however, bred to do better still and may produce another good effort.

Form & Verdict
Well placed by connections to land French Group 3 in August, which earned him a triple-figure BHA rating; gelded after managing sixth in valuable sales race at Doncaster's St Leger meeting; yet to go beyond 6.5f but this is unlikely to be a true test and his dam ran over 1m/1m2f; AW debut; cheekpieces return to replace blinkers; trainer took this in 2023 with one who had won in France.

Went close in French Group 2 in July and picked up Deauville Group 3 (also 6f, first-time blinkers) the following month; gelded prior to his reappearance and did enough to show he'd trained on when third of four, beaten 3l, on AW debut at Kempton (1m) in February; wore cheekpieces that day and now drops back to sprinting in returning blinkers; firmly in the picture.

Below-par favourite in the York sales race won by Song Of The Clyde but steadily progressive otherwise and bagged Group 3 honours at Deauville (6f, good) earlier in August; major player provided he rebounds.

Form & Verdict
Could do with settling better; well bought for 21,000gns after landing Irish claimer for Fozzy Stack (7f); 2-2 for George Boughey, taking handicaps here and at Wolverhampton (1m/7f) with plenty in hand; his revised BHA mark of 89 likely leaves him with a bit to find but he may not be done improving.

Free-goer; won his first two races (1m at Kempton and 7f at Wolverhampton) for George Boughey before finishing last of four in the face of a sterner assignment back at Kempton; his mark has risen and others may have more potential.
