Verdict

EMPIRE RISING won readily at Beverley and may well follow up on return to a nursery. Improving Love Tanya is feared, along with The Monkey King, who should relish this step up in trip. Coco Nova completes the shortlist in a competitive-looking opener.

    Verdict
    Bred to be useful and went the right way in novices, looking better the further he went when off the mark on qualifying run at Brighton (7f) last time. Step up in trip will likely unlock further improvement, which should put him firmly in the mix here.

    Verdict
    €110,000 Blue Point filly. Continued the theme of race-by-race improvement when narrow second on nursery bow (third career start) at Thirsk (7f) last month, pulling clear with a last-time-out winner. Up 4 lb in a better race, but she should go close again given her current trajectory.

    Verdict
    Showed improved form to get off the mark under a positive ride in an ordinary Beverley maiden (7.5f) last time, capitalising on the run of the race to score by 2¾ lengths. A 5-lb rise doesn't look insurmountable on return to a nursery, especially as he's still unexposed over this sort of trip.

    Verdict
    Promising fourth behind a couple of subsequent winners (including The Monkey King) on debut at Doncaster. Didn't progress as expected when 4 lengths third to Empire Rising at Beverley subsequently, however, he may do better off a potentially lenient opening mark.

    Verdict
    Belatedly built on initial promise to open his account at the second attempt in nurseries, coming from further back than ideal to score by ¾-length at Lingfield (1m, all-weather). Yet to prove as effective on turf, however, there's hope of more to come given his pedigree/connections.

    Brought along steadily over inadequate trips in maiden/novices. Could well improve now switched to a nursery/longer trip on the back of a gelding operation, for all he's bred to stay even further than this.

    Showed ability in a couple of starts prior to struggling on soft ground at Catterick in early-June. Since gelded and could improve now switched to a nursery by in-form yard who had winning nursery debutant earlier this week.

    Verdict
    Sold for only 6,000 gns having regressed for the Karl Burke yard (looked a hard ride at times). Back on track in Carlisle novice (6f) on stable debut last time, beaten 2¼ lengths in first-time tongue strap. Extra furlong could eke out a bit of improvement on return to nursery company.

    Verdict
    Looked ready for further in a couple of 7f events prior to finishing well beaten over an inadequate trip on qualifying run at Beverley (5f) 9 weeks ago. Now tackles 1m for first time on nursery bow and no surprise if she makes more impact.
