Ran twice over 1m4f at Roscommon for Jack Davison last summer, finishing third on debut (good) before seeing off 14 rivals on soft ground a fortnight later; can win more races for new connections (sold for 75,000gns last October) but he drops in trip on faster ground and has to concede chunks of weight to some promising 3yos so this might not be one of them.
Clear promise in two AW novice events over the winter (1m2f/1m3f, Tapeta); can do better but likely he will need to if he is to make a winning turf debut.
Promising 2yo debut (1m, soft); beaten as a strong favourite at Nottingham on his reappearance (1m2f, good) three weeks ago, racing too freely; remains capable of better and he is a leading form contender.
Top-class middle-distance pedigree, by Frankel out of a Group 1 winner in these colours; 2-1 joint-favourite for his Kempton debut in November (1m) but ran green and couldn't threaten in a race won by a smart prospect; should be a different proposition this year now his stamina is being drawn out.
Promising debut in a traditionally strong York maiden last August (7f, good to firm; trained by John and Sean Quinn); couldn't build on it on a slower surface at Redcar in October (stable debut); remains with potential and this trip should suit on pedigree.
12th foal; closely related to winners Akeed Mofeed (7f-1m2f including 2yo/Hong Kong Group 1; RPR 120) and Jordan Sport (6f-7f including UAE dirt Group 3; 116), half-brother to four more including Wonder Laish (11.6f-2m1f Flat, 100; useful 2m hurdler); dam unraced; has a fair standard to aim at on debut but can't be ignored.
Slims Pickins is most useful when you can move from this single-race view back to the wider board, compare races quickly, and decide where the edge is strongest.
