Lordsbridge Blu²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods

9/2

Havana Grey gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Rebel Redemption and 1m winner Lordsbridge Girl. Dam useful 7f winner. 25/1, fourth of 11 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good) on debut 29 days ago, closing all way to line. That race has thrown up winners and he's open to progress.

11/2

$65,000 yearling, Hard Spun colt. Dam US 6f/6.5f winner. Third of 9 in novice (9/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) on debut 27 days ago. That looks decent form and he can improve.

Form: 3

Under Siege³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: A M Balding| OR: 94| BF

2/5

Boasts some strong form having chased home Dante winner Economics on debut at Newbury and then Goodwood Group 3 winner Lead Artist at York before an eye-catching run at Windsor (3/10), having a hopeless task from his position. Disappointing if he can't get the job done here.

Form: 223

Forecasts

Under Siege (2/5), Lordsbridge Blu (9/2), Baraq (5/1), Shimmering Spin (11/2), Calanthe (16/1), Lightningboltzoom (33/1), Pottersmattyeeehaa (80/1), Apache Canyon (100/1), Drifts Away (100/1), Dors Delight (125/1)

UNDER SIEGE looks useful and boasts some strong form so it will be disappointing if he can't get the job done in this company. Lordsbridge Blu, an eye-catcher on debut at Yarmouth, and Shimmering Spin, are the dangers.
