Showed little on debut when fourth of 7 in a novice at Windsor in September. Off since and unlikely to make any appeal this side of handicaps.
|
Poor form when down field both starts to date. Gelded since last seen but is impossible to fancy on return from 161 days off.
|
Went the right way as a juvenile, including when second of 9 at Wolverhampton on all-weather in October. Shaped as if needing the run when fifth of 13 in a handicap at Bath 17 days ago and, with progress still in him, he holds strong claims back in maiden company.
|
Yet to beat a rival and looked a poor mover here last time so is easily opposed.
|
Well-bred gelding but looks like he's being brought along with handicaps in mind so isn't one to go overboard about despite Kieran Shoemark taking over from a claimer.
|
Left debut form well behind when second of 9 in a maiden at Doncaster in November. From a good family and is open to further improvement on return from 6 months off with stable in fine form so he's one to take seriously on all-weather debut.
|
145,000 gns 2-y-o. Mehmas colt. Dam was a 5f winner and half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Good Vibes, so he's bred for speed. Market should guide.
|
Ran green when last of 11 in a Newbury maiden over 7f (50/1) 17 days ago on debut. Switched to all-weather and down in trip here but needs to have learnt an awful lot from initial experience to make more impact.
|
Not knocked about when seventh of 10 in a novice over C&D in September and that race has worked out pretty well so she may do better at some stage, but returns from 222 days off with a wide draw to contend with.
|
Offered little in maidens 8 months apart and looks set to struggle once more.
|
Improved when fourth of 9 in a maiden at Newbury over 7f in July and a similar step forward could see her in the mix, though the betting may prove the best guide given she's returning from 284 days off and trying a new trip.

Forecasts
Thunder Call (6/5), Noble Vow (9/4), Tyrant Gg (11/4), Speculative (9/1), That's Random (33/1), Bundok (50/1), Imagine That (80/1), Whitesnake (125/1), Nzuri (150/1), Distillation (150/1), Ruiz (200/1)
NOBLE VOW shaped as if needing the run when fifth in a Bath handicap 17 days ago after 6 months off and sets the standard so can make the most of this return to maiden company. Thunder Call left debut form well behind when second at Doncaster and, from a good family, is open to further improvement, while Speculative showed some promise back in July.
