My Stable: Latest eye-catchers Ayr, Newbury, Newmarket, Ripon, Salisbury

Psychotic, 5th, Salisbury, Thursday August 17

Psychotic never made it to the track for William Jarvis but showed more than enough on debut for David Menuisier to believe that he has a future at this game. The four-year-old is a half-brother to Group Two winner Spacious so certainly looks the part on paper and can leave this debut behind in time. A little slowly away from his wide draw, Didier Gengoul tacked across to the rail and settled the son of Nayef at the rear of the field. It took a little while for the penny to drop when the tempo quickened on the front end but he stayed on pleasingly once switched for daylight in the closing stages suggesting that he could come into his own once handicapping over middle distances or beyond.

Shanghai Glory, 3rd, Ripon, Saturday August 19

Charlie Hills’ Shanghai Glory is thriving at the moment and needs to be on the radar for the big sprints for the remainder of the season. Hampered in the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood when fifth, he fared much the best of the stands’ side group in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon on Saturday, flashing home under Jamie Spencer to be first of 11 in ‘his group’ and a three-quarter-length third overall. This was the best performance of his career and he shouldn’t be treated too harshly by the handicapper. The Ayr Gold Cup is an obvious target and it’s of no surprise he heads the market with some firms, even as the 16/1 market leader in places at this early stage. (Ben Linfoot)

Inner Circle, 2nd, Newmarket, Saturday August 19

Richard Hannon’s Inner Circle has been unlucky not to get a win under his belt this campaign but his trainer should be able to find a suitable opportunity for him before the season’s out. He’s versatile regarding trip and ground, so he has options over seven furlongs and a mile regardless of conditions, and the way he pulled clear with Kynren on the July Course suggests he’s ready to strike when everything drops in his favour. The danger is he could creep up the handicap to a mark above 80 after this and that will make things tougher, but off a mark in the high 70s he’s competitive and given the right scenario he can win soon.

Chrisellaine, 4th, Ayr, Monday August 14

This beautifully bred filly made a start to her career when finishing fourth at Ayr. The daughter of Iffraaj took a keen hold in the early stages but really caught the eye when making good headway inside the final two furlongs. She wasn't given a hard time after being hampered near the finish and she looks a juvenile will plenty of potential moving forward. (Grant Copson)

Buffer Zone, 4th, Salisbury, Wednesday August 16

This Roger Charlton-trained youngster made his debut at Salisbury last week, where he was slowly away from the start. Racing in the rear for the majority of the contest, he made notable headway when his rider asked him to quicken and he finished a never-nearer fourth. By Bated Breath out of a Beat Hollow mare, this colt looks to have inherited the stamina from the dam's side of his family and he will be of definite interest on his next start. In addition, it shouldn't be long before he is stepped up in trip to seven furlongs and it is predicted that he will get even further during his three-year-old career. (Grant Copson)

Laubali, 8th, Salisbury, Wednesday August 16

The Buffer Zone race could be one worth keeping an eye on and I reckon another eye-catcher lurks within. Rogue was having his fourth start and had a rating of ‘just’ 79 and the field did finish in a bit of a heap behind him which all suggests that the form isn’t anything to get too carried away with but that’s not to say that the race won’t throw up winners. The relatively easy to back Lord Vetinari looks worth another chance once handicapping and Makambe wasn’t knocked about and did enough to think that he could find his level in lowly handicap company. The more fancied Laubali beat only one home having seen plenty of daylight down the outside under Jim Crowley. He was very green, wandered about off a true line and was more or less allowed to come home in his own time under hands and heels and the run promised far more than the bare facts suggest. He may not live up to his 125,000 guineas price tag but he can certainly step up on this effort. (Ian Ogg)

Erdogan, 3rd, Newbury, Saturday August 19

Another well-related youngster, this time a three-year-old son of Frankel out of the brilliant mare Dar Re Mi. There had been strong reports that this colt had been showing plenty at home and he showed up well on his debut at Newbury, finishing in third behind a pair with previous racecourse experience. He showed signs of greenness under pressure, so it can be expected that he will take a considerable step forward on his next start. He is an interesting prospect moving forward for his leading connections. (Grant Copson)
