Placed in a couple of bumpers during the spring (Kelso & Perth), but comfortably held in a pair of recent Flat runs, including here on Monday evening (7f); back number.
Unraced Shamardal gelding out of an unraced half-sister to Peintre Celebre; cost 350,000 gns as a yearling; stable 13-67 (19%) at this track; rising to 24% (8-33) with their 3yo's alone.
Brother to the talented 7f-1m winner Amazing Maria, and closely related to the AW winner Constantino; should draw plenty of benefit from his respectable opening third of six at Thirsk (1m, good to soft) last month.
Still a maiden after five starts (mainly at 1m), but appears to be improving with racing and was beaten just 1½L (third) in a Class 4 handicap at Newmarket latest; every chance in a weaker race.
Half-brother to the 1m-1m2f Group 1 winner Hibaayeb out of a 7f-1m winning dam (Lady Zonda); 11th known foal; market to offer the best guide with regards his chance; trainer 0-18 on the AW at Newcastle (0-8 with 3yo's).
Tailed-off last of seven (100/1) on debut over 6f here in July; more realistic opportunities ahead once allocated a handicap mark.
Forecasts
Mainsail Atlantic (8/15), Canvassed (11/4), Ring Dancer (8/1), Kingdom Brunel (12/1), Nearly There (100/1), Bareed (125/1), Magichull (200/1)
The benchmark is set by MAINSAIL ATLANTIC who despite being a maiden after five starts remains progressive enough and ran well in a Class 4 handicap at Newmarket last month. The market vibes will help guide the way with regards the newcomers, with Canvassed (at 350,000gns as a yearling) likely to prove stronger than Ring Dancer.
