Form & Verdict

Slowly away and too green to do himself justice in 6f maiden at Leicester, recording a modest RPR; gelded since; may do better but has plenty to find on bare form.

Form & Verdict

Kingman half-brother to QEII winner King Of Change; entered in the 2,000 Guineas; promising second, clear of remainder, behind a fellow newcomer in autumn contest at Newbury (1m, soft); leading contender, provided the drop in distance doesn't backfire.

Form & Verdict

360,000gns breeze-up purchase who showed plenty of ability in notable 2yo races over 5f-7f on good/good to firm, including at Royal Ascot; respectable third when joint-favourite for the Convivial Maiden at York on final outing; gelded since; big player on form.

Form & Verdict

Absent since facing a difficult task and finishing eighth of nine in the Chesham at Royal Ascot; displayed some promise with third of six at Yarmouth (7f) and may show improvement back down in class; holds a (currently optimistic) 2,000 Guineas entry.
