Very useful colt. 271/10, good ½-length second of 12 to Magnum Force in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar (5f, firm) in November. The one to beat on return.

7/1

Well held on turf first 2 starts but different proposition switched to AW, winning a maiden and conditions race over C&D in the autumn. Has the potential for better again on return.

14/1

Lightly-raced winner. 7/2, career best when winning 9-runner novice at Southwell (5f) in October . Subsequently sold out of Kevin Ryan's yard for 60,000 gns. Has a bit to find at the weights on return for a new yard.

Fairly useful filly. First run since leaving Raphael Freire when fifth of 6 in handicap (13/2) at this course (5f) 35 days ago. Arizona Blaze looks the stable first string.

Arizona Blaze (4/9), Sir Yoshi (6/1), Dark Ace (7/1), Songhai (9/1), Beauty Queen (14/1), Li Ban (16/1), Remarkable News (100/1)

If ARIZONA BLAZE can reproduce anything like the form he showed when second at the Breeders' Cup when last seen he should make a successful return to action. Dark Ace took really well to this surface in the autumn and may provide the chief threat ahead of David Marnane's listed-placed performer Sir Yoshi.
