10/1

Unreliable type who won the Lockinge in his pomp for the Gosden stable back in 2024. Encouraging he's brought some consistency to the table for this yard of late, getting his own way in front when third behind Isaac Newton in C&D Group 3 latest. Likely to find a couple too good again. Hood back on.

12/1

Established as a useful performer and shaped as though still in form when 5 lengths fifth of 8 to Isaac Newton in C&D Desmond Stakes 27 days ago, slowly away and among those making little impact from the rear. Comes with risks attached and work to do on these terms in any case.

9/1

Winner of a Curragh maiden on debut before going close in the Dewhurst only a week later. Didn't go on as expected at 3 yrs but has got back on track in 2 starts this season, going close in listed race at Naas (7f) in May. Absent since but he remains low-mileage. Cheekpieces now applied.

1/1

Smart horse who doubled tally for the year in 8-runner Group 2 at Meydan (9f) in February. Posted another solid display when second in Group 1 Dubai Turf over same C&D when last seen in March and easy to envisage him playing a lead role on return (boasts a tremendous record when fresh).

33/1

Dual winner in August last year, including a Tipperary Group 3. All the better for return when second at the Curragh (1m) in April but below par more recently, failing to revive back on softer ground when sixth in Cork Group 3 latest. Others boast more compelling claims.

14/1

Useful 6f winner as a juvenile. Showed improved form upped in grade/trip following 11 months off granted run of the race when second in Group 3 Royal Whip at the Curragh (1¼m) 4 weeks ago but that bare form needs improving upon. Yard look to hold stronger claims with Isaac Newton.

5/2

Had started to look like he'd reached his limit in form terms but got back on the up when winning C&D Desmond Stakes from a number of these rivals 37 days ago, travelling fluently and leading final 1f. Remains lightly raced at 1m and a repeat gives him solid claims on these terms.

Quddwah (1/1), Isaac Newton (5/2), Faiyum (4/1), Power Blue (9/2), Expanded (9/1), Audience (10/1), Cowardofthecounty (12/1), Hazdann (12/1), Charles Fort (14/1), Princess Child (33/1)

ISAAC NEWTON got back on the up in no uncertain terms when landing a C&D Group 3 from a number of these rivals last month. Still lightly raced at 1m, he's fancied to make another bold bid. Quddwah was in fine form in Meydan earlier in the year and he's a big threat boasting an excellent record fresh. Faiyum and Power Blue are also in the mix.
