Not achieved much in two starts so far. Possible the switch to this surface will bring about some improvement but a lot of guesswork involved and others make more appeal.
Comes here on the back of two sound efforts on turf and interesting to see how he copes with the switch to this new challenge. Pedigree suggests he shouldn't have any issues and looks a leading contender in this company.
First two starts came over 6f but improved when tried over the minimum distance latest. Possible that run will have boosted his confidence but needs to up his game back over this trip.
Never a factor on recent debut over C&D and dramatic amount of improvement required to figure this time around.
Yard respected with sprinters and this fellow is related to four winners at anything from 6f up to 1m1f. Noteworthy if supported in the betting and one to bear in mind if that scenario materialises.
Cost $60,000 but already gelded after he showed little in two previous starts. Back after a short break but likely his future will be in modest handicaps unless he posts a most improved effort.
Cost 110,000 gns and appeals on paper. Yard noted for a more refined approach than some with its two-year-olds and possible this fellow is being primed for a more concerted campaign next year.
Showed a good attitude to win on debut but was well held in a big field at The Curragh last time. That was much more competitive than this but she ran no sort of race and comes here with something to prove now.
Cost 110,000 gns and made a pleasing start at Haydock over 6f. Likely there is more to come and another bear in mind if the market suggests the switch in surfaces will suit.
Forecasts
Buffer Zone (8/11), Villa Savina (3/1), Mzoon (8/1), Perfect Hustler (12/1), By Royal Approval (12/1), Sporting Bill (25/1), Master Poet (25/1), Don't Cry About It (66/1), Arigato (66/1)
BUFFER ZONE has shown plenty of promise so far and may have been found an ideal opening to boost his profile. Mzoon gets the fillies allowance and is highly respected on these terms, while By Royal Approval posted a better effort last time out and would also be dangerous to leave out of the equation if he copes with 6f better this time around.
