6/4
Looked a useful prospect when winning 6f maiden at Newbury on debut in August 2025. Not seen again until fifth of 11 in 7f novice at Southwell 23 days ago, her effort flattening out as if the outing was just needed.

Showed little in bumper for Michael Attwater in July and no encouragement in 2 all-weather Flat starts for new yard this autumn. Huge outsider again.

Cracksman colt. Half-brother to Japanese 6f-1m winner Wurayah and Japanese 5f winner Way of Success. Tongue tied on debut. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Starman gelding who produced a promising first effort when second of 6 at Newcastle (7f) 37 days ago, looking a bit unfortunate not to win having had to switch. Leading claims with improvement likely.

Both starts over 1m here, hinting at ability on the second occasion. Wears first-time cheekpieces. Likely more one for handicaps after this.

Forecasts

Divine Symmetry (11/8), Imperial Ballet (6/4), Al Mandoos (11/4), Virtue King (12/1), Secret Message (50/1), Anncanya (100/1), Crack O'nine (125/1), Irish Spring (200/1), Heart Throb (250/1)

Verdict

DIVINE SYMMETRY made an encouraging start to his career at Newcastle and is preferred to Imperial Ballet, who is likely to be sharper with her recent Southwell comeback outing under her belt. Saeed bin Suroor newcomer Al Mandoos is one to check out in the betting.

  1. Divine Symmetry11/8
  2. Imperial Ballet6/4
  3. Al Mandoos11/4
