Haayimm (G)
Different proposition 7 months on from his debut (gelded) when landing 8-runner maiden at Pontefract on return in April. Improved again when second of 3 in novice company at Hamilton and he adds a touch of class to this handicap with promi…

Pandemonium (G)
[P1]
Soft-ground Yarmouth maiden winner on debut and completed a simple task in a Redcar novice (7f) in October. Pitched into Group 3 company and must have been amiss in the Horris Hill later that month. Shaped in similar fashion on reappearanc…

Strength of Spirit (G)
FAV
Progressive juvenile (2-4) and took another big step forward after 8 months off (also gelded) when successful over 1m here in April. Shaped with promise in defeat next 2 outings but pitched into a better race and came up well short at Good…

Monoceros (G)
Didn't go on from a winning debut for Charlie Appleby. Changed hands for 25,000 gns and he shaped quite well on reappearance when very good 1½ lengths third of 6 to Strength of Spirit in handicap at this course (1m) in April.

Evening Blues (G)
[H]
Placed 3 times prior to getting off mark at Dundalk (1m) in November. Bumped into potentially above-average rival when second there the following month and ran right up to form despite racing freely when fifth on reappearance/stable debut …

Blues And Royals (G)
Proved a different proposition when making a winning reappearance/handicap debut at Kempton in March and justified support when doubling his tally back there last month. Didn't look an easy ride when mid-field at Sandown last time, though.

Magical Merlot (G)
FAV
Made fourth and final start at 2 yrs a winning one in a 1m Brighton novice in October. After 6 months off (gelded), wasn't discredited when 4 lengths fifth of 7 on handicap debut at Southwell in April and way he shaped when third at Windso…

Victory Ace (G)
Showed ability for Roger Varian and left a low-key stable debut effort well behind (had been gelded) when edging a tight finish at Lingfield (7f) in April. Shaped very well when second from an unpromising position at Kempton last time (1m)…
