Well-bred colt who has shown ability in maidens and handicaps. His last run at Epsom was probably his most disappointing, but not all horses are suited to that track and he can be forgiven that lack-lustre display. Clear chance dropped to this lowly grade.
Well beaten in maidens at Lingfield and Kempton over longer trips. It is quite early to see him at this level, but his displays have done nothing to suggest he is up to beating rivals with superior form to their name.
Has shown promise on all three starts in maiden company. A little surprising to see him drop to selling company rather than try his luck in handicps, but is clearly one of the m ore likely sorts in an ordinary contest.
Unplaced in nine starts on turf and the AW and was a well-beaten fourth of five in a Yarmouth seller (1m) last time. Steps up in trip, but is hard to make a case for.
Has shown little in two outings on Turf and the AW. Cut little ice in handicap company last time, but even this drop in class may not enable him to get involved.
First three runs on the AW were not without promise, but his handicap debut on turf last time - his first run since being gelded - saw him finish a disappointing last of six. He was well supported in the market that day and, given this looks a much easier race, he deserves plenty of respect.
Only hints of promise in three maiden races, but shaped much better in handicap company last time when second of 15 at Brighton. Although that was a moderate contest, she at least showed she was on an upward curve and any further improvement would make her a player.
Not much to shout about in maidens and handicaps, but did show ability in a seller at this track last time when second of five over 2f shorter. Had been tried over much longer distances before that and goes back up in trip. Although others look more convincing, she cannot be ruled out.
Forecasts
Tenby Two (2/1), Josh The Plod (9/4), Akamanto (9/2), California Cliffs (5/1), Temir Kazyk (12/1), Mystery Of War (25/1), Mungo Madness (33/1), Iley Boy (50/1)
Ordinary fare and only five with realistic chances. Connections seem to be struggling to find the right trip for Tenby Two, while California Cliffs - despite shaping well last time - has a lot to do on official ratings. Josh The Plod must be respected dropped from maiden to selling company, and Akamanto has to be considered for his leading stable, but the one to be on could be TEMIR KAZYK, who was well backed on his first start in handicap company last time only to disappoint. That was his first run since being gelded and he may now be ready to confirm his earlier promise.
- Temir Kazyk
- Akamanto
- Josh The Plod
