Lightly-raced gelding. 7/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 64 days ago. Gelded since and needs to get back on track.
|
Beaten a long way on debut in this sphere in a Doncaster novice (7f, good, 200/1) 27 days ago.
|
Twice-raced colt. Sixth of 10 in novice (33/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 25 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.
|
Fair colt. 5/1, tenth of 14 in minor event at Meydan (8f). Off 104 days and will need to raise his game if he's to emerge on top here.
|
Promising sort. 7/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 7 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, clear of rest. Open to improvement.
|
Twice-raced gelding. Fourth of 7 in novice (9/2) at Pontefract (10f, heavy). Off 7 months and back down in trip on debut for new yard (formerly with Charlie Appleby).
|
Once-raced gelding. 66/1, last of 11 in maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago. Hard to warm to on the back of that.
|
Once-raced colt. 18/1, ninth of 10 in novice at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 25 days ago. In good hands and should do better in time.
|
Once-raced gelding. 80/1, last of 12 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 33 days ago. Another who will likely be seen in a better light when going down the handicap route.
|
Mohaather colt. Half-brother to smart 7.6f-1¼m winner Mujtaba and useful 7f winner Fakhama. Dam smart winner in South Africa (including Grade 1 1m events), stayed 1¼m. Interesting newcomer and the market should be revealing.
|
Thrice-raced colt. 5/6, second of 12 in novice at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 13 days ago, conceding first run. Ought to make a bold bid to go one better here.
|
Twice-raced gelding. 50/1, fourth of 5 in novice at Pontefract (10f, good) 22 days ago. Back down in trip and he's readily passed over.
|
Once-raced gelding. 14/1, fifth of 10 in novice at Wetherby (8f, good to firm) on debut 25 days ago. Big step forward required.
|
Pinatubo gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 5f/6f winner Thammin and useful winner up to 7f Ajax Tavern. One to note in the betting.
|
42,000 gns foal, 50,000 gns yearling, Waldgeist colt. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Crimson Road. Probably best watched on debut, unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Forecasts
River King (15/8), Arabian Story (5/2), Competizione (5/2), Shimmering Spin (6/1), Summertime Blues (18/1), Mawood (25/1), Aqab (50/1), Double Meaning (50/1), Wood Whisperer (80/1), Jupiter Ammon (125/1), Sir Wootton (150/1), Rolling Luck (200/1), Emperor's Logic (250/1), Kilima (250/1), Armathia (250/1)
This looks between RIVER KING and Competizione, both of whom pulled well clear of the rest when finding just one too good at Nottingham and Doncaster respectively earlier this month. Choosing between them is not at all easy, with River King shading preference. Newcomer Mawood is appealing on paper and it'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting.
- River King15/8
- Competizione5/2
- Mawood25/1
