Ran well in two maiden races to date including when 9L fifth of 12 over 1m4f on good-to-firm ground here last month. Drops back slightly in trip here and likely to run his race once more.
Finished fourth of 16 in a 1m2f contest at Windsor (good-to-soft) last time out. Is a full-brother to the Group 3 winner Mekong River and likely more to come.
Signs of promise when seventh over 1m4f on good-to-firm ground here on debut but well held third of four at Pontefract in similar conditions last time out and best watched dropping in trip here.
Well beaten last of ten on debut as a juvenile and gelded prior to finishing 7L eight of 13 at Newbury (good) over 1m2f last month. Cheekpieces worn on that occasion are retained today.
Well held in two starts over 7f on good-to-soft ground as a two-year-old. Gelded subsequently and wears a tongue tie for the first time upped in trip on his first outing of 2017 today.
Improved on debut fifth when finishing runner-up over 1m2f at Pontefract (good-to-soft) last time out. Third on that occasion has boosted the form since and he rates an interesting runner here.
Ran well in two outings over 1m at Thirsk so far in his career. Most recent of those came on good ground a month ago and likely to run well on his first try at this distance.
Pulled hard prior to his saddle slipping and being pulled up when debuting over an extended 1m3f at Haydock (good-to-soft) in June. Worth a check in the market here.
Unraced daughter of Bated Breath cost 25,000gns as a yearling last October. Half-sister to a number of winners including 1m6f Listed scorer Deuce Again and interesting to see how she fares here.
Well beaten in all six starts to date including when 13th of 14 off a mark of 51 at Nottingham last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time today.
Finished fourth on both outings so far. Latest effort came when a close fourth in a 13 runner Newbury (good) maiden over 1m2f last month. Wears a hood for the first time today.

Tribal Conquest (13/8), Roddy (5/2), Graphite (7/1), Oden (11/1), Golden Set (12/1), Amazing Grazing (12/1), Chartbuster (14/1), Luna Magic (20/1), War Brigade (25/1), Grey Mist (25/1), Quiet Weekend (25/1), Just Heather (150/1)
The form of RODDY'S most recent start when runner-up over 1m2f at Pontefract has been boosted since and he can go one better in this competitive looking maiden contest. Chief rival here is likely to be the Charlie Appleby-trained Tribal Conquest who has run well on both starts so far and tackles this trip for the first time here. Chartbuster is another worthy of consideration following two decent efforts in maiden events.
