24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won final start as 2yo (1m, AW) and reappeared with a striking performance in handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) in April, rearing as the stalls opened but soon back in touch and cruising to the front over 1f out, before striding 4l clear; sixth of seven in Listed race there (1m2f, good; second favourite) 16 days later singularly failed to back up that good impression, leaving questions to answer today, including if he has his first run on firmer than good. |

24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Capable of taking a hand on his day but hard to pin down in the last 12 months and although he's won on soft, his form took a dark turn when favourite on good to soft at Newmarket in May last time; not one for the risk averse. |
25/1 |

7th 1 (6) |
24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Successful in last year's Italian Derby when with a German yard; consistent efforts over 1m6f/2m at Meydan for new stable this year, most recently fourth in Group 2 contest; doesn't shape as if he's crying out for this return to 1m4f; faces a tough assignment on ratings to boot. |
