11/10

Between Pole Star and Classical Allusion, Classical Allusion preferred


Pole Star - reluctant to enter paddock at first but went in without much coaxing, high level of definition

Blazeon Five - tight enough behind, red hood but only marginally tense though neck and shoulders

Lavender Hill Mob - very fit as you’d expect to see from the yard, relaxed

Francesco Baracca - probably seen better runners from the yard this week, little tense

Classical Allusion - high level of rib definition and has a big walk, catches the eye

Call My Bluff - still should come on for another run

Maltese Cross204
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR:  -
7/4

Between Maltese Cross and My Love Is King from a physical perspective, although would have no major negatives to find with Shabab Al Ahli


Easwrith Destiny - big chested gelding, should come forward for the run

Alfaraz - quality individual and relaxed in pre-parade but has got very warm, good level of definition

Much - giant of a colt, plenty of chest and girth, should improve for whatever he does today

Sahara King - has got a touch warm and should come forward slightly

Shabab Al Ahli - two handlers, nice moving colt with quality, fit and well

Ataturk - fine and slender compared with a lot of these, okay

My Love Is King - two handlers but very quiet and easily managed, has a bit of presence about him, strong topline

Barrister - close-coupled but not lacking in height, walks well, fit and fine

Joulany - big, deep chest and girth, has got a touch warm. Okay, but nothing more

Maltese Cross - one of the fittest in the field, well muscled and tight, especially for a Haggas horse

16/1

I'm The One has so much quality but might come on a touch here. Allaire and Light Dreamer preferred, the latter is the best Hannon horse sighted this week from a fitness perspective


Morningtoncresent - little plain, should improve for outing

Bintnaseefa - should come forward for the run

Tempestra - been very straightforward, no issues with application of headgear, fit and fine

Wild Violet -very behind in the coat, a little plain.

Eze Sur Mer - very on toes, straight into paddock. Athletic filly but needs to settle.

Paean Of Appin - a little fussy and has got warm, okay fitness but plain compared to some of these.

Light Dreamer - probably one of the fittest Hannon horses I’ve seen this week, they’ve all looked a touch lacking. Very light in comparison.

Semper Femina - good sized filly but will come on for the run

Tenison - very fit as we tend to see from the yard but physically behind compared to some of these

Musical Accord - good level of fitness although had started getting a little warm, one to monitor.

I'm The One - lovely mover, covers the ground, easy going attitude but might improve a touch for whatever she does today. By no means unfit.

Marianta - huge head on smaller body, would indicate she’ll still have some filling out to do, fit enough

Society Girl - more workmanlike as a physical model than some of these but walks well and very fit

Allaire - beautiful filly. Has size but athletic and slender, high level of rib definition, quiet behaviour.

1st Synchronicity 6/4 fav

2nd Song Of The Clouds 15/8

3rd Tarrant 16/1

Parade Ring updates

Verdict

11
8
Synchronicity
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR:  -
6/4

Synchronicity is best here but a few catch interest at bigger prices; Bundok and Sapphire Secret


Seet - two handlers, might just tighten up a touch for this, hasn’t got the shine to coat yet

Bundok - small and compact, plenty of muscle definition and taking proceedings well

Song Of The Clouds - has occasionally been a touch on her toes but starting to settle, walks well, fit and fine

Cap Santa Lucia - dwarfs the rest of these, big filly with plenty of physical presence, fit and well. Just attempted to get loose in paddock, but settled quickly

Sapphire Secret - nice way about her, not turned a hair in the preliminaries and is well balanced with quality. Likeable.

Lucky Luna - sprinting physique, compact and together, might come on for the run. Has been taken int pre-parade as getting upset

Akademy Lady - a little plain. Not overly big physically, doesn’t catch the eye

Mother Dear -lengthy and flat rumped, wouldn’t appeal physically. Fit enough but doesn’t have much of a hind end.

Bright Summer - neat filly and fit, as all the Balding’s have been presenting over last few days. Clear clip line and coat only just coming through. Been tricky to saddle, kept outside

Pierpoint - quality filly with shine to coat, big chest and will probably improve physically over back end.

Synchronicity - walked into the pre-parade with no idea what the horses were, she immediately stood out. Not overly big but well proportioned, quiet demeanour. Fit. Just has a lovely way about her.

1st Blessed Voyager 11/1

2nd Harry Knows 17/2

3rd Jaan Ki Tukri 7/2

Verdict:

9
Jaan Ki Tukri
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox| OR:  -
7/2

Between Jaan Ki Tikri and Napa, like the former better, he’s been a bit toey but has the physical profile for this


Blessed Voyager - a little inexperienced and will come forward for the run

Napa - small and powerful, the Naval Crowns seem to be fairly heavyset, looks right for the job

Romeo Guest - quite leggy and athletic for age, very fit, one of the better models

Crusherman - very on toes, especially for a Meehan horse who tend to be relaxed. Would be a concern.

El Lambo - a touch heavy, will come forward for the run

Ricky's Rocket - small and compact; growing to do. Behind in the coat

From Me To You - two handlers and having a good shout in the pre-parade. Some definition, but should improve a touch - similar comments to Hannon horses over last few days.

Harry Knows - small and lacking the physical presence of others in the field. Fit for frame though, another one shouting.

Jaan Ki Turki - compact and close coupled, has a clip line as still not come in the coat but looks well enough. Racy, agile. Having a few shouts.

Drum Major - neat and together, will come forward for fitness
