Placed behind a subsequent winner at York (6f) on his penultimate start and off the mark next time at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); no reason as to why this extra furlong shouldn't suit; AW/nursery debut.

Is progressing with racing, particularly catching the eye with a strong late finish at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in May; interesting to see how he handles the switch to the AW/nurseries in what could be a very tactical affair.

Continues on an upward curve, although has clearly had more chances than his two rivals; 3lb higher than when dead-heating for second behind shock 40-1 winner Bankawi in a 7f Catterick nursery a fortnight ago; AW debut.

Forecasts

St Ives (4/11), Bravo Faisal (9/2), Breguet Man (5/1)

Verdict

A disappointing turnout numerically with the real fear that this will turn into an overly tactical affair. Furthermore, with all three horses making their respective AW debuts it remains to be seen who takes to racing on synthetics the best. On balance, ST IVES has the best form and also displayed a likeable attitude when scoring at Doncaster, therefore he rates as the percentage call.
  1. St Ives
  2. Breguet Man
  3. Bravo Faisal
