Failed to beat a rival home on debut for John Gosden in an Ascot maiden in July 2019. Absent since and best watched starting out for new yard here.
|
Little impact in a couple of 6f Redcar novices last season and she'll be of greater interest in handicaps further down the line.
|
Fair form on 2 of his 3 starts for Richard Hannon and acquitted himself well both runs for this yard, fifth of 12 in 6f York nursery when last seen in August. Good each-way chance.
|
Didn't show much in the way of immediate promise on last week's debut at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Should be more street-wise now, but probably more one for handicaps in due course.
|
€37,000 foal, £52,000 yearling. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 6f winner What About You and winner up to 6f Here Now And Why. Dam 5f/6f winner. Watch the betting for clues.
|
Stepped up on low-key debut when second in an 11-runner Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) last month. Not sure that he'll be well-served by this drop in trip, though.
|
Showed plenty of ability in 4 starts as a juvenile, particularly when going close in the Group 3 Acomb at York in August. Will be very hard to beat if performing to anywhere near that level here.
|
Half-sister to winner up to 1¼m Look Here's Al and 6f-7f winner Secret Glance. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 6f-7f winner Now Look Here. Yard's newcomers usually come on for a run.
|
Fairly encouraging fourth in 5f Musselburgh maiden on sole 2-y-o start. Likely to do better in time and she's the most interesting of the Tim Easterby-trained trio.
|
Positive start when third in a heavy-ground 6f Catterick novice in October. However, beaten out of sight on the AW a month later and now has questions to answer.

Forecasts
Spycatcher (4/9), Cooperation (4/1), General Sago (11/1), My Boy Frankie (11/1), Danny Bleu (20/1), Midnight Stripper (33/1), Sugarpiehoneybunch (40/1), Due Look (50/1), My Thought (66/1), Newgate Squal (200/1)
SPYCATCHER sets a clear standard based on his excellent effort in the Acomb Stakes at York last summer. He failed to reproduce that level of form on his next 2 starts, but he is well worth one more chance given the dearth of credible opposition on show here. Newcomer General Sago is second choice ahead of Cooperation and Midnight Stripper.
