1 Garfield Shadow poor in the coat, makes little appeal

4 Witch Hunter tends to present a little light, does so again, fine

7 Betty Clover tends to be a consistent type regarding presentation, fine

9 Morte Point little plain in appearance, fair definition

1st Saint Mungo 5/2 fav

2nd Iron Stone Lad 31

3rd Momentsofsurrender 10/1

Verdict:

Not an outstanding field, 3 is still a little clueless but easily the best physical. 17 is over priced.

Parade ring updates:

3 Coloniser tall, fluid moving type, catches the eye as a physical

4 Diamondise fair level of definition, unfurnished frame

5 Green Tundra professional for a debutant, fit

7 Iron Stone Lad Green and inexperienced, will improve for experience

9 Lots Road walks well but still appears a little unsure and green

10 Momentsofsurrender walks well and looks professional after a run

14 Saint Mungo solid and muscular, plain as a type but can’t fault fitness

17 Inmyopinion well muscled and physically forward, little fussy but nothing to put you off

3rd Merveilleux Lapin 11/1

Verdict:

6 and 8 best pair

Parade ring updates:

1 Paddy The Squire late to paddock, fit and well

2 Old Harrovian hard to fault after a long absence, no fitness concerns

3 Merveilleux Lapin has become very warm on a cold day, fairly measured in behaviour but would be a concern

4 Theory Of Tides will tighten up over the ribs

5 Boyfriend fairly consistent in presentation this season and running accordingly, no concerns

6 Balazac catches the eye, good physical, walks well, fit

7 King's Code makes little appeal, poor in the coat

8 Mr Swivell big imposing physical, good level of rib definition

9 Stem might tighten up a touch, but similar comments have been applied before, tends to carry small amount of condition

11 Capall Rasa no fitness questions after a short break

12 Fantasy Believer

13 Almekarem presented well when winning at Doncaster and similar look here - solid and muscular

Result

1st Nabati 7/4

2nd Jolivette

3rd Arapaho Gold 5/4 fav

Verdict

1 is clear best; like the 7 as a longer priced alternative for a forecast

Parade ring updates:

1 Arapaho Gold best sighting all season; looked a little poor in the coat early on despite being a ball of muscle, has matured and looks in excellent order

2 Adaay Of Scarlett always presents the same, small and racy, no change

3 Cut A Dash grown throughout the season, progressive, little keen

4 Matteo very strong and green, makes little appeal

5 Mr Macarntey two handlers and a little reluctant at times in the paddock; small, racy type but others appeal more

6 Nabati good looking colt, fluid mover and fitter then a previous sighting at Newbury

7 Revels starting to fill out physically, slender type when winning at Goodwood and is a much more rounded model now

8 Jolivette good attitude, little poor in the coat compared to earlier in the season, moves well but others appeal more

2nd Bulletin 15/2

3rd Primo Lara 11/4

Verdict

12 best, 7 over priced

Parade ring updates:

1 Roaring Legend: will come forward for the run

2 Furthur: always a horse who presents well, leggy and moves fluidly, no fitness questions

4 French Duke: narrow but tall gelding, lacking coat condition compared to earlier in the season

7 Real Dream: in good order, preferred of the yards runners

8 Explore: backs up quickly after hurdles win and holding condition in a positive way; looks well in himself

9: Primo Lara in good order, solid and muscular, no issues

10: Bulletin heavy set type, moves well, doesn’t appeal on fitness

11: Oneforthegutter no averse effects for the visor, okay fitness but no better

Result:

1st Miss Yechance 12/1

2nd Shagraan 11/1

3rd Diligent Harry 18/1


Verdict:

3 best, 11 over priced

Paddock updates:

1 Diligent Harry: heavy set type but doesn’t stand out on fitness after short absence

2 Naana's Sparkle: walking around with a bit of presence and there are no fitness questions

3 Redorange: catches the eye as an all round package; good attitude, muscular and powerful. Appeals.

4 Shagraan: needs the run after a short break and unusually relaxe

5 Starlust: impressive physical; stands out on quality compared to the rest of these and probably the best fitness level sighted this season

6: Aspect Island: slender frame type, has looked better this season

7: Dickensian: small; compact type, doesn’t catch the eye particularly

8 Hallo Spaceboy

9 Azure Angel: carrying a little lighter from York, others stand out more. no averse reaction to application of visor

10 First Instinct: small filly, very fit for frame, doesn’t appeal as a physical, weak through the neck but can’t fault level of definition

11 Miss Yechance: very fit, small but angular filly - perhaps lacks the class of some but doesn’t look out of place stepping up in grade
