Vincenzo Peruggia (C)
550,000 gns buy as a yearling who confirmed promise of his debut when readily accounting for 5 rivals in novice at Beverley (7.4f) in July. Best excused his final outing in Group 2 at Goodwood and this scopey sort promises to do better now…

Utmost Good Faith (G)
[H]
Landed a Fairyhouse claimer on final outing in Ireland and enhanced his form further on all-weather for new yard, winning back-to-back handicaps at up to 1m this year. Rise in class seemed to find him out at Kempton latest but return to ha…

Monoceros (G)
Debut scorer at Newmarket (7f) in July but off bridle long way out when third at Leicester (7f) the following month. In trouble long way out (reportedly lost action) when pulled up on nursery debut thereafter and has since left Charlie App…

Strength of Spirit (G)
Son of Ulysses who was progressive in 4 starts as a 2-y-o, making it 2 wins from 4 starts in 7-runner nursery at Newbury (7f) in July. Did that quite cosily and feasible to think there could be more to come as a 3-y-o now tackling 1m for t…

Kanishka (G)
[P1]
Won his maiden on all-weather last summer and has resumed in good order, stepping up on his reappearance when close-up fourth at Southwell (7f) last week. That looks solid form for the grade and whilst this is tougher, he holds a fitness e…

Comic Hero (G)

Knocked firmly at the door on 2 of his 3 starts in sprint novice events last summer and following 7 months off (also gelded) justified cramped odds at Kempton (7f) in February. Beat a next-time-out winner then and interesting now handicapp…
