Blazing Gaden⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: D C Costello| T: D J Jeffreys

500/1

Of little account over hurdles and easily passed over on Flat debut.

Form:

(7)

Cosmic Bond²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman| T: D Shaw

250/1

Zoustar gelding who has looked in need of the experience and not figured in pair of all-weather starts in recent weeks.

Form: 68

(1)

Extended Credit³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Hills

12/1

Lope Y Fernandez colt who makes appeal on paper but proved easy to back and ran to only a modest level when fifth of 9 in a Wolverhampton maiden (7f) on debut last month. Probably one for later on.

Form: 5

(8)

Iron Dome

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: C G Cox

17/2

88,000 gns foal, 80,000 gns yearling, Blue Point gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Thelma's Angel. Dam, 5f/5.4f winner, half-sister to useful 5.5f-7f winner Last Empire. In good hands and bred to be speedy so well worth a check in betting for clues on debut.

Form:

(4)

Persian Gate

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: A Watson

20/1

30,000 gns yearling, Ardad gelding. Closely related to useful winner up to 5.5f Yazaman and 6f/7f winner Poderoso and half-brother to smart winner up to 6.5f Royal Commando. Dam 5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Noteworthy newcomer.

Form:

(6)

Poison Arrow³⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer

2/1

£170,000 son of Dark Angel who boasts a useful sprinting pedigree and he showed a bit without threatening when fifth of 12 in a Windsor novice (6f) back in September. Absent since (also gelded) and he appeals as the type to do better as a 3-y-o.

Form: 5-

(3)

Space Party⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: H Candy| BF

3/1

Son of Space Blues who offered something to work on when third at Doncaster (6f) on debut in April and he duly improved plenty on that form when second of 4 in a Windsor novice (6f) a month later. Will progress further and he's a leading player making all-weather debut.

Form: 32

(9)

Storm Force⁴⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: R A Fahey| BF

2/1

230,000 gns breeze-up purchase who failed to justify strong support but did show ability when third of 6 in a Hamilton maiden in Spring 2025. Not made the track since but pedigree/connections suggest he can do better as a 3-y-o. Has been gelded.

Form: 3-

(10)

Atomik^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Joey Ramsden

100/1

Harry Angel filly. Dam 7f-8.6f winner. Wears tongue strap for debut and best watched unless market vibes were very positive.

Form:

(5)

I Can Dream⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: H Candy

150/1

Bred to be speedy but she offered little in a pair of turf novices in June. Stable look to hold much stronger claims with Space Party.

Form: 90

Forecasts

Storm Force (2/1), Poison Arrow (2/1), Space Party (3/1), Iron Dome (17/2), Extended Credit (12/1), Persian Gate (20/1), Atomik (100/1), I Can Dream (150/1), Cosmic Bond (250/1), Blazing Gaden (500/1)

SPACE PARTY built on an encouraging debut effort when finishing a good second in a Windsor maiden back in the spring and, appealing as the type to progress further, he earns the vote to go one place better. Storm Force has been absent since last spring but firmly appeals as the type to do better as a 3-y-o having been gelded, with similar comments applying to Poison Arrow. Iron Dome and Persian Gate are appealing newcomers and require a market check.
