Rockspur CIC Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Unplaced in two AW starts, though after having been gelded he did show a bit more when fifth of 11 at Lingield (6f, Polytrack) three weeks ago (4l behind Manly Fireball); has again been done no favours by the draw, though, and nurseries become an option after this.

Has shown little in three starts over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack and may not come into his own until earning a mark; stable also runs the newcomer Rugby Union.

Sent off 50-1 when sixth of nine on last month's Sandown debut (5f, soft); that form has worked out well and his dam won twice on the AW, but he will still need to improve.

Not without some promise when fifth of nine on his Chelmsford debut (7f, Polytrack) in August, but beat just one home when sent off 100-1 for the valuable sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) last month; nurseries may provide a more viable option; stable also runs Orange Emperor.

Fifth of 13 (albeit a long way behind the winner) on his Newbury debut (6.5f, good) in August, but stepped up on that when third of 11 at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) three weeks ago (runner-up has won since); could have been better drawn, but that latest effort still gives him solid form claims.
