€75,000 yearling, half-brother to several winners, including very smart winner Armory. Good start in 7f novices at Haydock and York around this time last year before folding in the mud over 1m at Goodwood in September. Gelded ahead of return/handicap bow and type to make a better 3-y-o.

Went close on debut at Kempton (7f) and having been set a stiff task at Ascot, she got back on track when second of 3 on handicap debut at Hamilton 3 weeks ago (1m). Goes back up in trip.

Showed more than previously when third of 4 in novice at Leicester (1m, firm) 23 days ago. Up in trip for handicap debut and she's in expert hands but this mark demands more.

Landed 9-runner maiden at Leicester (1m) in October and improved again when second of 8 on 1¼m Doncaster handicap debut on reappearance 24 days ago. Fourth-place finish at Windsor latest boosted several times since and she looks well treated.

Upped to 9.5f and could never land a blow when seventh of 10 in maiden at Meydan (9.4f). Off 132 days ahead of this handicap debut (gelded in that time) and he needs to raise his game.

280,000 gns Too Darn Hot colt ran to a similar level all 3 starts so far, still looking a touch green at Southwell over 1m 4 weeks ago. From a useful family and expected to up his game now handicapping up in distance.

375,000 gns Sea The Stars colt who failed to meet expectations on last 3 starts 5 months apart, albeit he did make a big move into contention when third of 6 in maiden at Chepstow (1¼m) 28 days ago. Well worth another go at this trip and he could hardly be in better hands now handicapping.

Space Blues filly who has made a positive start in handicaps, readily opening her account at Yarmouth (1¼m) before landing the odds without any real fuss at Leicester 3 weeks ago. Further 4 lb rise won't prevent a very bold hat-trick bid.
Timeform Verdict
This should turn out to be strong form for the grade with OH YES YOU DO the most persuasive option given the form of his Windsor run a month ago has been very well advertised since. Alice de Clare won't go down without a fight in her hat-trick quest, while there are a clutch of well-bred handicap debutants to consider, notably Mostaan.
Betting Forecast
18/1 Blue Noon (Ire), 11/1 Last Verse (Ire), 12/1 Light Dreamer (Ire), 14/1 Molo Del Palazzo (Usa), 9/2 Oh Yes You Do (Fr), 25/1 Tai Hang Pegasus (Usa), 10/1 Mostaan, 6/1 Windbreaker, 11/4 Alice De Clare (Ire)
