Sent off the 4-9 favourite when winning on debut over C&D (good) 17 days ago; his dam was a Listed winner and he's entered in the St James's Palace Stakes; could have lots more to offer for leading stable; strong claims.
Front-runner who had nearly 2l to spare when winning 26-runner sales race over C&D (good); held in fourth of seven on reappearance in Listed race at Newcastle (1m, AW) but could benefit from that run and the drop back in trip; no surprise to see a bold bid back on the Rowley Mile.
Won his first two starts last May/June then fifth in a pair of Group 2 races; twice placed at Meydan early this year but beaten about 6l when third of five in conditions race over this C&D (good) recently and Cerro Blanco may well be the yard's chief hope under Billy Loughnane.
230,000gns yearling who was backed into 5-2 when readily making a winning debut at Redcar (6f, good) last November; he's entered in the 6f Group 1 Commonwealth Cup but there's every chance he'll be suited by 7f and this highly likeable prospect is in good hands to progress; one to consider.
Won in good style in a big field on nursery debut at York (7f, good to firm) last August and soft ground may not have suited in the Group 3 Horris Hill at Newbury in October; returned with commanding handicap win at Newbury (7f, good) a fortnight ago and holds leading form claims.
7f AW maiden winner who was fourth of 14 in the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) a fortnight ago; she's raced five times and others may have greater potential, while she could do with settling better, but she appears to be improving and might not be far away.
