Much improved from debut when narrowly denied at Windsor in August. Disappointed with his response to pressure at Nottingham last time, however. Must bounce back on nursery bow.
|
Capitalised on the drop in grade at Windsor after exceeding expectations in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot the previous month. Down the field in the face of stiff tasks all 3 outings since.
|
Improved to get off the mark at the second time of asking at Wolverhampton in September. 17/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, not seen to best effect when sixth of 10 in nursery at Chelmsford City (5f) 15 days ago, not ideally placed.
|
Made a successful debut at Chepstow in May. Found only one too good on nursery bow at Windsor in August and then left poorly placed at Chester on most recent outing. Not dismissed.
|
Made the most of a good opportunity at Bath in July but ran below that level when sixth of 8 in nursery at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 70 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Something to find on form.
|
Ran best race to date when third of 7 in nursery at Haydock (5f, good) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Needs considering.
|
Shaped very well on qualifying run when fourth of 13 in maiden (20/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago, left with lot to do. Bred to be appreciably better than his opening mark and very much of interest.
|
Won his first 2 starts in nursery company but poor efforts on 3 of his last 4 outings. including at Newcastle last time. Enough to prove.
|
Bit of promise on Sandown debut but well held last 2 starts. Into handicaps now fitted with a first-time tongue strap and his useful pedigree provides hope he'll do better somewhere down the line.

Forecasts
Akirra (7/4), Comic Strip (10/3), Moonlight Mirage (5/1), Angel Numbers (15/2), Dark Alley (17/2), Concert (10/1), Come On Eibhlin (16/1), What's On Second (50/1), Rajak (66/1)
COMIC STRIP isn't sure to be ideally suited by the drop to the minimum trip, yet he shaped notably well on his qualifying run and is hard to oppose on that basis. Concert and Angel Numbers head up the opposition.
- Comic Strip10/3
- Concert10/1
