2-2 when trained by Charlie Appleby, notably winning a warm novice event (10f) at Newmarket in April 2021. Bought by current yard for £16,000 in March 2023. Returns after wind op, down in trip and tongue tied on first run for over 3.5 years. Market may guide.

£52,000 yearling, Twilight Son gelding. Brother to smart 5f-6f winner Twilight Calls and closely related to winner abroad by Kyllachy. Highly respected on debut (stable also responsible for Toralou).

1/1
Promising type. Second of 9 in novice (15/2) at Haydock (6f, good to soft) on debut, running on. Off 18 months but she's in very capable hands and is open to lots of progress.

Forecasts

Toralou (1/1), Al Waqidi (9/4), Bear Rock (11/2), Twilight Diamond (8/1)

Verdict

The market will surely tell a tale given TORALOU has been off the track 18 months, Al Waqidi returning for a new yard following 3.5 years away and Twilight Diamond a newcomer and stablemate of the first-named horse. At this stage, Toralou gets the vote.

  1. Toralou1/1
  2. Al Waqidi9/4
  3. Twilight Diamond8/1
