£18,000 yearling; first foal; dam French 1m1f winner, half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Light Infantry, out of 7.5f/1m winner; has been gelded; others are more compelling than this Ardad newcomer.

Promising third on debut at York (6f, good) in May and similar form when fifth of 14 at Ascot (7f, good to firm) this month; improvement needed but he is in top hands and could benefit from the return to 6f for the time being.

10,000euros foal, 27,000euros yearling, £65,000 breeze-up 2yo; by Sergei Prokofiev; first foal; dam placed at 6f (RPR 60), half-sister to three winners notably Harrow (6.5f-7.3f 2yo; RPR 102); one of two newcomers for yard; market check advised but he would have to be very useful.

80,000gns yearling; fourth foal; Bungle Inthejungle half-brother to winners Peace Of Mine (7f 2yo/1m2f; RPR 83) and Aurora Papillon (1m2f; 64); dam well-bred 9.7f winner (103); makes debut with yard in fine form but he may be one for further down the line.
