    Form & Verdict
    85,000gns yearling by Nathaniel; prominent in the market and he showed promise when beaten 4l in two small-field events on turf (7f/8.3f, good to soft) in the autumn; recorded an RPR of 72 in both those runs but it's still early days and he's open to progress upped to 1m3f on his return; been gelded.

    T: K R Burke

    Unexposed 3yo who won a Doncaster maiden (1m2f, good to soft) in March but he's been well held in handicaps at Newmarket (1m2f, good) and Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) since; mark is sliding but he needs to raise his game back on turf.

    T: K R Burke

    Disappointed as favourite in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket last month but his earlier Doncaster win (1m2f, good to soft) was encouraging; promise on AW in February; should stay 1m4f and he is not fully exposed just yet; Karl Burke is also responsible for Galilean Quality.

    150,000gns yearling; out of a half-sister to a 2yo Group 3 winner (1m2f), but he was tailed off at 33-1 on Redcar debut (1m1f, good to soft) in October; been gelded since and is best watched on his reappearance.

    J: Tom Marquand

    T: Ed Walker

    Has finished first past the post in two of his four starts, all on turf, since handicapping; justified favouritism in small field at Thirsk (1m4f) latest; major contender with further progress plausible.

    Improved form the last twice, finishing first past the post at Goodwood (1m4f; demoted to second for causing interference) then beaten only a neck at Newbury (1m5f); respected.
