Cracksman colt who was well backed after 9 weeks off and duly built on debut promise when off the mark with plenty in hand in 5-runner maiden at Newcastle (8f) 23 days ago. Handy draw to operate from and shortlisted with further progress on the cards.
|
Stayed on well to make a winning debut at Southwell (1m) in November and took a marked step forward despite meeting defeat when second of 13 in novice at this C&D (6/4) 70 days ago, battling well and nicely clear of the remainder. Big shout in refitted hood.
|
£25,000 yearling, Inns of Court gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 7f winner Tamadhor. In good hands and one to monitor in the betting for positive vibes on debut.
|
Thrice-raced maiden. Shaped with definite promise when sixth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 25/1) 15 days ago, not knocked about. Rates the type to do better still, including in handicaps.
|
Iffraaj colt who merely hinted at ability when tenth of 11 in novice at Haydock (7f, firm, 20/1) for Richard Fahey 6 months ago. Passed over starting out for new connections.
|
Belardo filly. Half-sister to smart 11f-1¾m winner Caius Chorister. Dam 11.5f-2m winner. Yard have enjoyed plenty of success with this family but she's bred to come into her own over longer trips.
|
€25,000 yearling, Golden Horde filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 10.2f Ebbesbourne and 7f winner Plath. Market can guide on debut.
|
Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, showed more than first time up when fourth of 9 in novice at Southwell (8.1f) 15 days ago, without being unduly punished. Likely to be of interest in handicaps moving forward.
|
Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 7 in novice at this course (10f) 14 days ago, held when hanging left under 2f out. Passed over.
|
Showcasing filly. Closely related to 5f/6f winner Chicago School. 33/1, shaped as if needing the experience when eighth in 13-runner Thirsk novice (6f) on debut back in June. Up significantly in trip for return and this should reveal more.
|
€7,500 yearling, Mekhtaal filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Tawhiri and 6.5f-1m winner Diva Victoria. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1¼m-12.5f winner Raabihah.
|
Advertise filly. Dam 7f winner. 80/1, off bridle long way out when last of 7 in novice at Kempton (1m) on debut 22 days ago.
|
Lightning Spear filly. Sister to 9.5f-1½m winner Charlie's Choice. Dam, runner-up at 11/4m in France, out of smart 11f winner Campanillas. Wears hood.

Forecasts
Port Light (1/4), Crack On Boys (10/3), Daddy Chill (11/1), Final Night (18/1), Sibling Rivelry (22/1), Eleonora Gonzaga (50/1), Yes Honey (66/1), Belle Amie (66/1), Grande Armee (80/1), Bigfield Dreams (80/1), Surprise Again (125/1), Argentum (200/1), Make A Note (200/1)
This looks to concern penalised pair PORT LIGHT and Crack On Boys, with narrow preference in favour of the former in a refitted hood. That said, the latter was impressive when scoring at Newcastle 23 days ago and strong confidence behind him would put a different slant on things. Final Night and Yes Honey appeal best of the others, particularly with a view to going into handicaps.
- Port Light1/4
- Crack On Boys10/3
- Final Night18/1
