Got off the mark at Brighton in May and has continued in good from, third of 7 in conditions stakes at Newbury (8f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Goes up in trip for his handicap debut and can't be discounted.

4/5
Showcasing colt who has progressed with each of his four runs, landing 1m Windsor novice before readily bagging 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford City 34 days ago. Hiked up 8 lb but he's a player in his hat-trick bid.

Fair maiden who posted her best effort on his handicap debut when fifth at Epsom (7f) 24 days ago. Not ruled out with this much longer trip a likely plus.

Forecasts

Explosion (4/5), Commanding Officer (5/4), Bourbon Blues (9/4), Crystal Pier (7/2)

15:33 Newmarket - 22 October 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

None of the quartet can be ruled out but the vote goes to Charlie Appleby's improving Teofilo colt COMMANDING OFFICER who can follow up his Haydock novice success now his stamina is unlocked more on his nursery debut. Hat-trick seeking Explosion rates a big threat though, while Crystal Pier and Bourbon Blues shouldn't be underestimated either stepping up in distance.
