May 4th: Chester
5f Maiden |
Made poor price at the cheaper Doncaster sales.
Reviewed at the sales and rated 54 and a low chance of being a competitive
2yo at a low level. He was notably small and lightly built.
Sire can get early, precocious 5f 2yos although this one was untypical
of his better types.
Dam has a mixed pedigree and was unraced.
Trainer has her poor 2yos close to their best on debut.
In summary well drawn in 4 and likely to be professional enough to try
to go with the pace. Too poor a type to last font rank for long. Profile

May 4th: Chester
Post Race |
33/1 to 40/1 and ran for a trainer who has her cheap 2yos fit and professional
on debut. In a race with an uneven pace she had a good trip and was 8 lengths
off the pacemakers at halfway (but only 1 length behind the 4th) and 3
lengths behind the 5th & 6th who were more active in trying to chase
the too strong pace. Made good progress relative to the other moderate
types from 2f to 1f out as the race closed up when the pace folded. Plugged
on in the last furlong. Ran above expectations but within his expected
ability range. Would not expect any notable improvement. Estimate [59]

May 17th: Leicester
6f Maiden |
Trainer methods and sales review would suggest a similar performance her
as the Chester debut. Profile [60]

May 23rd: Windsor
5f Novice |
4/1 at Leicester in a race where the favourite ran below expectations and
the B Hills newcomer drifted from 3/1 to 5/1. Broke well and ran the rail.
Ran slightly freely overall and showed a good, willing attitude through
the race. Led by a neck ant halfway and held on as the B Hills runner closed
on him in the last furlong. Strength of the form not easy to place.
Estimate [63]
Penalised 7lb for his win. Profile [66]

June 18th: York
5f Listed |
2/1 at Windsor and some support. Ran above expectations and led for 4f
and plugged on quite well when headed. Estimate [74]
The form of his Windsor second has not been upheld with the winner and
3rd running poorly over 6f since. Has already run above expectations but
would need to improve 14-20lb more to compete with the better types.
