Kodiac colt who shaded a tight finish on his 6f Yarmouth debut in May (second and third won next time). Failed to beat a rival in the Chesham but got back on track to some extent on first start for his new handler when eighth in a valuable nursery at Goodwood 10 days ago. More required.
|
Promise in a pair of novice events in the spring before opening his account after a 7-week break at Epsom (7f) 10 days ago, going about things in a more professional manner having been gelded in the interim. Opening mark looks fair and there's potential for better to come.
|
Took his form up a notch when making a winning start in nurseries at Catterick last month and similar form upped in grade when runner-up at Thirsk next time (third won earlier this week), having the run of the race. Could prove tough to peg back if able to dictate matters.
|
Getting the hang of things now, taking a big step forward to get off the mark over C&D last month, seeing things out thoroughly to lead in the dying strides. Worthy of a market check as she now moves into handicaps.
|
Fast Company colt who attracted support and overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Salisbury in June, coming from furthest back. Fitted with a hood but found out by a sharper 6f at Newmarket since and with the headgear discarded, he remains with potential now handicapping.
|
Suited by the step back up in trip to get off the mark at the third attempt over C&D last month, scoring decisively despite still looking very green once out in front. She can be competitive from this opening handicap mark.
|
Shaped well in novices and showed much improved form switched to a nursery when runner-up at Chester last week, closing all the way to the line having again been held back by another slow start. Major player if breaking on terms.
|
Suited by the switch to front-running tactics to open her account in a Musselburgh maiden last month and posted a solid effort back in a nursery at Beverley a week later. Others look more obvious.
|
Made a winning start in nurseries at Chelmsford last month and followed up at Beverley 9 days later (strong form, 4 of those behind successful next time). Hat-trick bid excused given the run of the race at Kempton on Tuesday but this quick turnaround tempers enthusiasm.

Forecasts
Indian Dream (5/2), Nap Hand (9/2), Have Secret (6/1), Urban Sprawl (7/1), There's The Door (8/1), Faisal Road (9/1), Disputed (12/1), Princess Naomi (14/1), Fomo (18/1)
A gelding operation seemingly enabled INDIAN DREAM to go about things in a far more professional manner when opening his account at Epsom 10 days ago. With the potential of better to come now handicapping, Michael Bell's charge gets the tentative nod to follow up. Breaking on terms has been an issue for Have Secret but he clearly possesses plenty of ability so he should be in the mix, along with Nap Hand, who should appreciate this step up to 7f.
