Modest gelding. Twelfth of 20 in handicap (7/1) at Navan (5.8f, heavy) in April, taking strong hold and weakening. Rejoined yard after leaving Thomas Dowling and hard to fancy on these terms.
|
Bated Breath gelding. Fair form when runner-up on debut in a Ripon maiden (1m) in July and possibly found underfoot conditions against him at Nottingham (8.3f) since. Not one to write off.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April, ridden home turn and making little impression. Bought cheaply out of George Boughey's yard since and he needs to prove his effectiveness on turf.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. Good fifth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago, no extra final 1f. Expected to make her presence felt returned to novice company.
|
5,000 gns Cityscape filly. Dam, 5f/6f winner, closely related to useful winner up to 6f Englishman. 66/1, showed only greenness when ninth of 12 in maiden at Redcar (7f) on debut 18 days ago. Likely longer-term project.
|
€70,000 yearling, €360,000 2-y-o, Exceed And Excel filly. Sister to 6f winner Cool Lightning. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, granddaughter of Cherry Hinton Stakes winner Asfurah. Makes obvious appeal on paper for good stable and no surprise to see a bold showing.
|
Once-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 7 in minor event at Thirsk (8f, heavy) on debut 25 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals.

Forecasts
Mezzo Soprano (4/7), Agnes Grey (3/1), Knights Affair (17/2), True Nation (10/1), Ballysax Lil' Mick (33/1), Trilby (50/1), English Wren (80/1)
MEZZO SOPRANO's price rose considerably as a 2-y-o and making a good deal of appeal on paper for a yard no stranger to success with newcomers, she could be the way to go in a novice lacking a great deal of depth. Should she not meet expectations, Agnes Grey looks the pick of those with experience and is feared most ahead of Knights Affair.
- Agnes Grey3/1
