Very smart colt. 10/11, didn’t need to improve to win 11-runner Solonaway Stakes at this C&D (good) when last seen in September, proving 1½ lengths too strong for the re-opposing. Mutasarref. Strong claims.
Smart gelding. Seven wins from 24 Flat runs. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 5-runner listed race (4/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 32 days ago by neck from Mutasarref. 2 lb worse off with that rival now and far from certain to uphold that form.
Smart gelding. 4-time course winner. 5/6, creditable neck second of 5 to Lord Massusus in listed race at this C&D (good to soft) 32 days ago. Stable in good form and he’s a key player.
Smart gelding. 7½ lengths seventh of 8 to Lady With The Lamp in listed race (5/1) at Cork (6f, good)…
