10/3

Promising individual who got off the mark at the second time of asking when taking 5-runner minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 months ago. Should be more to come this term.

10/1

160,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars gelding. Closely related to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Klassique and half-brother to 2 winners, notably very smart 1m-9f winner Valiant Prince. Interesting newcomer.

5/1

Twice-raced maiden. 9/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 10 days ago, having to pick way through. Should improve.

Form: 54

Governor Of India

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

16/5

Dubawi colt. Dam, winner up to 10.5f (Prix de Diane and 2-y-o 1m winner), half-sister to very smart/ungenuine winner up to 1m (stayed 10.5f) King of Comedy. Makes appeal on pedigree.

6/4

Promising type who improved on his debut form when second of 5 in maiden at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Sets a good standard and remains open to further progress.

Form: 32

(4)

Portraitist²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane

Forecasts

King Of The Plains (6/4), Governor Of India (16/5), Ruling Dynasty (10/3), Cosmic Soul (5/1), Capitano (10/1), Breathless Bishop (20/1), Portraitist (125/1)

KING OF THE PLAINS wasn't beaten far at Yarmouth last week and appeals as the type to improve again. He can open his account. Ruling Dynasty and Cosmic Soul rate the principal dangers.
