Irish Stallion Farms EBF Hyde Stakes (Listed)

Smart colt. Acquitted himself well when third of 10 in listed race (89/10) at Saint-Cloud (8f, heavy) 19 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly.

Useful gelding. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 89 days ago. Better expected back on AW but work to do with principals here.

Smart gelding who posted career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 32 days ago, easily. Shortlist material.

Smart gelding. Seven wins from 22 Flat runs. 16/1, creditable seventh of 30 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm), making effort earlier than ideal. Off 168 days. Must enter calculations.

Much improved equipped with blinkers/faced with softer ground, winning twice as a juvenile. Second at this level at Sandown in May and far from disgraced when third at Goodwood (8f) last time. Respected on polytrack debut.

Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 5/2, good ¾-length fourth of 8 in listed race at Newmarket (7f, good). Off 7 months. More required on return here but gelded since and may be capable of better yet.

Useful filly. 25 lengths last of 11 to Believing in listed race (13/2) at Pontefract (6f, good). Off 108 days. First run for yard after leaving Simon & Ed Crisford. Hood back on. Others more persuasive.

Useful filly. C&D winner. 7 lengths eleventh of 12 in listed race at Lingfield (8f, AW, 16/1) 29 days ago. Has work to do.

Useful filly. Bit below form 4 lengths fourth of 13 in listed race (8/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 25 days ago, left poorly placed. Drop in trip not guaranteed to suit.
