Very green for the first half of the race but really good once the penny dropped when making winning debut at Newmarket in August. Failed to progress as expected when fifth in the Acomb but he still retains potential over 1m.

Sir Laurence Graff¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| BF

9/4

Bred to be smart and has displayed plenty of promise both starts over 1m in recent weeks, finding a more experienced rival slightly too strong at Goodwood 3 weeks ago. Expected to improve again.

Form: 42

Forecasts

Local Dynasty (11/10), Sir Laurence Graff (9/4), Elwasme (5/1), Lucky Fifteen (17/2), Chindwin (25/1), Manuelito (33/1), Opera Ghost (125/1)

SIR LAURENCE GRAFF didn't do a lot wrong when a neck second at Goodwood 3 weeks ago and the 6 lb he receives from Newmarket-winner Local Dynasty could prove to be decisive. Elwasme is certainly ready for 1m and is also considered.
