Ran to a fair level in France and showed improved form on second start for Archie Watson when opening account in a Chepstow handicap (8.1f) 8 days ago, well on top at the finish. Remains early days with his current yard and he can defy a penalty.

Has been going the right way this summer, again staying on strongly when landing the hat-trick in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f) 22 days ago. Willing attitude stands her in good stead and she's a major contender in her current form.

Having dropped in the weights, returned to his best in first-time blinkers when off the mark at Wetherby (7f) in June. However, possibly amiss when well held at Windsor on his latest outing. Remains on a workable mark with hood now also applied.

On his second start since leaving George Boughey, showed encouragement at Carlisle (6.9f) in July and built on that effort at big odds (66/1) when only narrowly denied at Ripon (1m) last time. Needs to find more again as he bids to land a first victory.

Successful at Chelmsford (1m) last year and went well for a long way on her seasonal/handicap debut at Nottingham in May. Hasn't gone on from her return in 2 subsequent starts, though upped in trip (10f) after 11 weeks off last time. Not one to write off just yet.

Shaped well when making the frame at Doncaster (10.2f) on debut but that remains his best effort, finishing down the field on both starts for current yard having left John & Thady Gosden. Drop in trip needs to help spark a revival.

Much improved for his new yard, following up his win at Chelmsford (1m) with another ready success at Yarmouth (7f) in August. Only third in his hat-trick bid back at Yarmouth, but had played up beforehand and no surprise to see him bounce back.

Remains a maiden but several creditable efforts to his name this year, including when fourth in a Redcar maiden (7f) in August. However, ran one of his lesser races when fifth in handicap at Doncaster (1m) 13 days ago. May just find others stronger.

Upped in grade when off the mark at Chester (7.6f) in June, despite still not looking the finished article. Hasn't progressed from that effort, though, only sixth of 8 back down in class at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month. Needs to get back on the up.

Successful in seller at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in February but hasn't found any improvement switched to turf this summer, failing to beat a rival at Epsom (10.1) a fortnight ago. Has work to do.

Landed a hat-trick in nurseries last year but his form has gone the wrong way this season, racing lazily when sixth of 9 at Beverley (8.4f) 15 days ago. Continues to fall in weights but he needs to get back on track.

Upped in trip, took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (1m) 20 days ago. Still has plenty to find on form, though, with cheekpieces now on first time.

Verdict

LUNANERA stepped forward from his stable debut when scoring in good style at Chepstow 8 days ago and he can follow up with more still to offer for Archie Watson. Heading the list of dangers is My Honey B as she bids for a 4-timer, ahead of Abravaggio who could get back on track given the promise of his first 2 starts for his current yard.

  2. My Honey B9/2
