4/9

Sales price rocketed to 500,000 gns as a yearling and this promising Night of Thunder colt chased home the exciting Raaheeb on debut at Ascot in September before returning with a bang to land 6f all-weather maiden here last month. Commonwealth Cup entry and will improve further.

420,000 gns Blue Point half-brother to 3 winners, including high-class 5f-7f winner Oxted and smart 5f/6f winner Chipstead. Built on promising debut and landed the odds in 6f Ayr maiden a fortnight ago, looking better the further he went. Will go on progressing.

5/1

140,000 gns Lope Y Fernandez colt. Created a striking impression when making a successful debut in 4-runner maiden on the polytrack here in November but made an inauspicious return at Kempton (7f), practically unrideable in the latter stages. Tongue tie quickly reached for.

BEHIKE looks a smart sprinter in the making and his Commonwealth Cup entry catches the eye. He can follow up his reappearance win here before his sights are raised. Ayr scorer Railwayman will go on progressing himself and is the obvious danger.
