Six-race maiden who went up 6lb for finishing second on first attempt at this trip. Out of his depth in Ireland next time and hard to argue his case.
Finished half a length behind Beatbox Rhythm on second start when with Richard Hannon. That form ought to be good enough if forgiving his debut for this yard on account of the ground.
Running to a consistent level in defeat. Doing too much to earn a reprieve from the handicapper and not enough to look ready to open his account.
Interesting on nursery debut given the progress he has made in each start. Latest run showed what he could do when settling better and he would have to enter calculations.
Looks one of the yard's lesser lights and is clearly not progressing as would be hoped for a horse with a 250,000 gns price tag. Looks one paced and needs to show a bit more.
Blinkers helped him at Brighton on penultimate start and a re refitted after cheekpieces failed to inspire last week. Could be given the benefit of the doubt for the switch in headgear and the extra furlong, but fair to say he is only moderate.
Has promised more than his form figures might suggest. No disgrace on nursery debut 11 days ago and this looks easier.
Sole success came in a seller on her tenth start and she has been beaten in similar grade since. Looks exposed and lacking in scope but mark seems reasonable enough but vulnerable to any improvers in this.
Would have claims on first two starts but has gone the wrong way since. Steps up considerably in trip and is his first run over 6f did not promise he would get this far.
Showed promise here on debut and has not made any apparent progress since. Champion elect 13-48 for the yard and, with cheekpieces fitted for the first time, it seems likely he will be improving.
Ran her best race thus far when dropped down to 6f a month ago. Needs to prove she is ready for this trip.
Missed the break and forced to race wide but still produced her best effort yet last time. Still beaten a fair way in modest company but appears to have a modest race in her.
Visor had a positive effect last time under an enterprising ride. Did not quite see out the mile and the drop to 7f should see him go close.
Forecasts
Mutafarrid (9/2), Quick Breath (11/2), Stormy Sand (11/2), Fink Hill (6/1), Ventura Gold (10/1), Mandarin Princess (10/1), Divine Intuition (11/1), Progressive Jazz (12/1), Felisa (12/1), General Marius (12/1), Gembari (16/1), Agent Of Fortune (20/1), Catapult (25/1)
Gembari looks an interesting market angle for this given the combination of headgear and rider. His debut effort offered enough encouragement and he could be the answer. More obvious claims are held by Progressive Jazz off bottom weight having almost made all over a furlong further at Redcar. Quick Breath is better than his form figures indicate and looks the type for a nursery although his mark is no better than fair. DIVINE INTUITION was third in a good maiden on his second start and that form looks good enough to take this. His first run for this yard came on bad ground and will hopefully ensure a decent price.
- Divine Intuition
- Gembari
- Progressive Jazz
