Grow Old With Me⁵³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: R P Downey| T: R M Beckett| BF

3/1

Promising second of 15 in strong novice at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut in October 2024. Not seen since but the stable had one make a very promising return from a similar length of absence at Thirsk recently. Market confidence likely significant.

Form: 2/

Anton Mauve

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rowan Scott| T: K P De Foy

11/1

250,000 gns Pinatubo gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful US winner up to 8.5f Unanimous Consent and 2-y-o 7f winner Star Music. Check the betting with this newcomer.

Battle Standard²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jonny Peate| T: Jack Morland

200/1

Modest form in 3 outings at Southwell last month and seems unlikely to be of interest until handicapping.

Form: 04

Law Court²³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: R Hannon

13/8

Blue Point colt who shaped quite well when reaching the frame in 2 outings at Newbury last August. Has the potential for better and likely to be on the premises.

Form: 43-

Luansobe¹⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Bradley| T: C Fellowes

40/1

Second on 7f Kempton debut last October but the form is nothing special and he was well beaten on turf at Newmarket 3 week later. Off 168 days.

Form: 20-

Mr Writer¹⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ross Coakley| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 78

6/1

Fair form in his 5 outings over 6f/7f last year, including all-weather. Might be vulnerable to less-exposed sorts on return.

Form: 82562-

Slight Of Foot²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Harry Charlton

11/4

Left debut well behind when second of 14 in novice at Kempton (7f) last September. Gelded ahead of reappearance. Open to improvement and likely to go well..

Form: 02-

Korbut¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

28/1

Out of a mare from a good Cheveley Park family. Left her 8.6f course debut well behind when length second of 8 at Southwell (7f) 10 days ago. May do better again.

Forecasts

Law Court (13/8), Slight Of Foot (11/4), Grow Old With Me (3/1), Mr Writer (6/1), Anton Mauve (11/1), Korbut (28/1), Beautiful Rumour (33/1), Luansobe (40/1), Ahead Of Fashion (100/1), Battle Standard (200/1)

If the betting vibes are strong surrounding the returning GROW OLD WITH ME he'll take a big of stopping as his debut form back in the autumn of 2024 is strong. Slight of Foot and Law Court showed promise at 2 and can give Ralph Beckett's charge most to do.
