Found the Coventry Stakes all too much at Royal Ascot (6f; good) when 15th of 17. Previously looked a rather promising individual, and he could resume his progress returned to calmer waters on this nursery debut.

Made it third time lucky when justifying short-priced favouritism (5/4f) to win at Haydock (7f; good to firm), the form of which has been boosted by the second and third since. Could make seamless transition to this level.

7/4
Got off the mark at the fourth attempt in fine style when making debut in a nursery at Leicester (7f; good to firm) and routing the opposition. Stuck up 13lb for that, but is still dangerous, especially if allowed his own way up front once again.

Not matched form of debut effort when third at Lingfield (6f; good to firm), with a pair of midfield efforts in maidens following that. Now tries his hand at a more realistic level on nursery debut, but vulnerable to classier sorts.

Forecasts

Path Of Thunder (11/8), Making History (7/4), Light Angel (7/2), Dorset Blue (11/1)

Verdict

A four-runner nursery which hasn't received a great turnout numerically, but is by no means thin on quality. Light Angel is now partnered by the talented apprentice Cieren Fallon for the first time, and should fare better than when having his sights raised to Group 2 level at Royal Ascot. Making History couldn't have done much more than he did when pulverizing the rest of the field on his nursery debut after a string of consistent efforts in maidens, but preference is for the other Godolphin representative PATH OF THUNDER. The selection is bred to be better than a handicapper, and whose maiden victory at Haydock has been very well advertised by the second and third since.
