Dartmouth gelding who made a winning debut in a Worcester bumper (2m) back in September (fair form). Shade keen and no extra over 1f out when third under a penalty at Ascot (15.7f) 3 weeks ago and no reason why he won't make his mark in this sphere on that evidence.
|
6-y-o who was a fairly useful winner in bumpers in 2024 and fair form in handful of maiden/novice hurdles. Well below best on handicap debut at Exeter (16.7f) 2 weeks ago though, and percentage call is to look elsewhere on debut in this sphere.
|
Son of Sioux Nation who made amends for his short price reverse on stable debut when landing 9-runner bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to firm, 15/8) 52 days ago, leading final 100 yds as runner-up hung chance away. Should have a future in this sphere. Had wind surgery.
|
75,000 gns purchase who showed ability whilst shaping as though he'll be sharper all round for the run when fourth of 7 in novice at Haydock (11.6f) on debut in April, staying on gradually final 1f. Looks sure to improve and shortlisted back from a break.
|
From an excellent family and showed ability when fifth in a Kempton novice (1m) on debut last autumn. However, shaped as if amiss when ninth of 10 in a novice here only start since in March and had wind surgery ahead of this return/stable debut. Market can guide.
|
€10,000 foal, Telescope colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 1¼m-11.7f winner Paso Doble and 1¾m-16.3f winner Bailarico. Dam, 10.5f-13f winner, sister to smart 13f-15.5f winner Be Fabulous. In cheekpieces for debut and the betting can prove an informative guide.
|
Fair maiden on the Flat for Ralph Beckett but pulled up in 2 juvenile hurdles at Fontwell since joining Gary Brown and finished a distant last of 8 on return to the level in handicap at Nottingham (18f, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Can only be watched.
|
Ghaiyyath colt. Closely related to 7f winner Apotheosis and half-brother to winner up to 6f Story of Light. Dam, 2-y-o 8.6f winner, half-sister to high-class 7f-1¼m winner Nayyir. One for shortlist on debut given connections.
|
Shaped well when second behind a useful sort on debut last summer but hasn't progressed from that. Had cheekpieces retained when matching best of this year's form when second in 5-runner Chelmsford novice (10f) last month and she ought to be thereabouts again with a tongue tie now added.

Forecasts
Volcanic Rock (8/13), Caliban (9/4), Participle (11/2), Siouxfonic (16/1), King's Cruiser (40/1), Hawaiian King (40/1), Dartmouth Jet (66/1), Not So Sobers (80/1), Majestic Leo (100/1)
CALIBAN showed ability whilst shaping as though he'll be sharper all round for the run when fourth in a stronger race at Haydock back in the spring and he could well be the answer back from 6 months off with progress anticipated. Participle's progress looks to have stalled but she's of interest nevertheless with a first-time tongue strap now added. Godolphin newcomer Volcanic Rock is one to note in the betting for clues, with Siouxfonic also respected on the back of a bumper victory.
- Caliban9/4
