8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, 13 lengths 6th of 7 to Afonso De Sousa in minor event at this C&D (polytrack) 7 days ago.
Won 3 times in handicaps at up to 8.3f this year, but well below par since his second at Epsom in July. Seemingly gone off the boil, acknowledging that's a dangerous assumption to make with this yard.
Won the Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket at 2 yrs. Edged out in the Fred Darling on return at back on track in a more suitable grade when third in Group 3 Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster last month.
Held up in last, charmed run through rivals from just over 2f out, squeezed between leading pair to lead inside final furlong, won decisively (op 9/4)
Lost just once at 2 yrs and back on the up when narrow second in 7f Baden-Baden listed race last time. Could take a hand.
Highly progressive sprinter who landed a Newcastle Group 3 in June on just his fifth career start and excellent second back in handicap last time (would have won but for hanging left). More to come.
Back to best when winning 7f Bunbury Cup at Newmarket in July. Good fourth in valuable C&D event later that month and bounced back from couple of lesser efforts when fourth in Ayr Gold Cup last time.
Tracked leaders, ridden over 2f out, close up well over 1f out, stayed on same pace after
Rounded off good first year with second to Sky Lantern in this. Improved again this term, landing Group 2 at Royal Ascot and Falmouth on July Course. Disappointed in France latest but can bounce back.
Soon led and dictated gallop, ridden and quickened 2f out, edging right but in command inside final furlong, ran on well (op 4/1)
Kiyoshi - (Newmarket, 15:30) x
Held up in touch in midfield, ridden over 2f out, no impression, outpaced inside final furlong (op 8/1)Not straightforward but highly talented on her day, as shown when responding well to first-time headgear to win 15-runner Group 3 at Doncaster last month. More needed here, though.
Won Oh So Sharp Stakes at this meeting last year before beating 16 rivals in 1000 Guineas over C&D in May. Good fifth in French Oaks before runner-up to Esoterique in Group 1 at Deauville. Player.
Raced keenly, chased leading pair, ridden 2f out, ran on to chase winner final 100yds, kept on but always held (op 4/1)
Successful twice for Sir Michael Stoute and is very much threatening to come good for current yard, first home in far-side group when sixth over 6f here 2 weeks ago (6f). One to take seriously.
Held up in rear, waiting for room over 1f out, progress along with winner final furlong, stayed on to take 3rd near finish but never quite pace to challenge (op 7/2)
Mixed bag during a busy campaign since twice adding to tally in May, continuing out of sorts at Newbury in September. Bit to prove as a result, including stamina.
Chased leaders, ridden 4f out, soon beaten, tailed off (tchd 8/1)
Three-time winner for Mark Johnston last year, signing off with victory in this race. Back to that sort of level when hitting the frame for this yard in recent starts, and claims once more.
Winner of a 7f course maiden at 2 yrs and has shown useful form in defeat this term, though looked a hard ride when disappointing in listed company last month. Opening mark looks pretty stiff.
Slowly into stride, headway over 6f out, ridden to chase leader over 1f out, stayed on (op 11/2)
Boasted a progressive profile in 2013 and continued on the up when a clear-cut winner of a C&D soft-ground handicap in May. Shaped well on recent return from a break at Newmarket and ground ideal.
Useful performance to make winning debut at Doncaster (6f) in November and another step forward when second in 1m listed race at Sandown on return, no match for cleverly-ridden winner. More to come.
Progressive in 2013, winning 4 times, and in much better form than form figures this season might suggest, travelling strongly long way on wrong side in Wokingham on penultimate start. Interesting.
Won 4 times on Flat/over hurdles in second half of 2013 and further progress when making winning return from 6 months off at Galway in July. Looks sure to go well again.
