1) Fair Angelica
Walked out of the stalls for the Oak Tree Stakes (16/1) on Wednesday but ran on well in the circumstances to finish 8th but less than 4 lengths off the winner. Previously ran well to be 4th in the Hackwood and she continues in good form. Will be interesting kept to this distance and seems to enjoy an easy surface.
2) Akecheta
A rare runner for Kevin Coleman at Goodwood but his 5 year old mare ran well to finish 4th in the 10 furlong fillies' handicap on Wednesday. Dropped in last most of the way she flew home widest of all. She enjoys softish ground and she's carrying her form well. Keep an eye out for where she goes next.
3) Daquiri Bay
I still believe there's a big race in Alan King's 3 year old. Well backed (9/1 from 25/1) for the Kincsem Handicap on Thursday. Drawn poorly in stall 17, he ran best of those up on the front end, sticking to his guns. Keep onside.
4) Blue For You
Likeable 7 year old was dismissed at 33/1 and drawn in stall 20 for the Golden Mile on Friday but shaped well despite nothing going his way to keep on for 8th. Dropped a lot in the weights this year. Goes to York next seeking his 4th win at the Ebor Festival.
5) Greek Order
Sent off 6/1 for the Golden Mile on Friday. Went well on a track that didn't play to his strengths. Ran on close home and shapes as though the Cambridgeshire is the race for him (2nd in 2023). Probably best with give in the ground. Follow.
6) Ammes
Well backed for the 11 furlong handicap on Friday (8/1 from 16/1). Raced closer than ideal to the pace but would probably still have won if he had clear room a furlong out. Couldn't reel in favourite after that but shaped best. Follow.
7) Circe
Sent off 12/1 for the Stewards' Cup and ran well despite coming off the near rail to challenge up the centre alone. Likes fast ground so ran well despite this easier surface and shaped well. Still in great form, should keep progressing.
8) Twilight Calls
Unheralded at 50/1 for the Stewards Cup, he ran best of those drawn low. Shot clear a furlong from home and was the best on his side. Dropped miles down the weights and he could have a big one in him if building on this effort.
9) Shout
Sent off at 22/1 for the 7 furlong handicap on Saturday. Dropped in last from a poor draw and had to come round the whole field in the straight but was a fast finishing 7th at the line. Likes a big field and should build on this now.
10) Montpellier
Drifted out to 18/1 for the 7 furlong handicap on Saturday but belied that to finish 4th. Got no room up the home straight after travelling powerfully. Still lightly raced and unexposed, one to keep onside wherever he goes next.
