Majeski Man failed to fire in three starts on the all-weather earlier this year but he ran much better when finishing runner-up on his return to turf at Leicester on Thursday, despite looking a bit rusty on his first start for nearly four months.

Majeski Man was outpaced over a furlong out but he stayed on nicely, shaping well by the end, and was only beaten a length by a rival that had fallen a long way in the weights.

Majeski Man is also lurking on a potentially lenient mark, 4lb lower than the one he defied at Nottingham last year, and with this outing under his belt he should be cherry-ripe next time.


Timeform Eyecatcher: Wednesday

ASSAIL

Fourth, 1m3f handicap, Kempton, Wednesday 26 June

Assail shaped well when fourth on his reappearance at Kempton on Wednesday and looks capable of raising his game when faced with a stronger gallop or a longer trip.

Assail made good headway from the rear to fare best of those held up in a contest dominated by those who raced handily, and he would have finished closer had he not been short of room entering the final furlong.

He had also produced an encouraging effort when runner-up to a subsequent winner over a furlong-longer trip on his handicap debut at Southwell in January, and he should be suited by going back up in distance.


Timeform Eyecatcher: Tuesday

POLEMON

Fifth, 1m3f handicap, Newbury, Tuesday 25 June

Evidently a very late developer, Polemon began his career in bumpers for Archie Watson despite being by Frankel and from a top Juddmonte family. He’s still a maiden at the age of five, therefore, but showed promise on the all-weather last year and caught the eye under an inexperienced claimer in this apprentice handicap.

Held up, Polemon was shaken up out wide in the straight before making headway a furlong out and ran on after edging left to take fifth behind Lucky’s Dream without being given at all a hard time.

Having just his third start on turf on the Flat, Polemon has quickly been cut some slack by the handicapper and while he was unfancied here, he will be well worth noting when the market speaks more in his favour.


Timeform Eyecatcher: Monday

REACHING HIGH

Runner-up, 1m3½f handicap, Windsor, Monday 24 June

Reaching High had disappointed on easy ground at Leicester on his penultimate start but he got back on the up when returned to a sounder surface at Windsor on Monday and found only a thriving sort too strong.

Reaching High was beaten half a length by one who made all to complete a course-and-distance hat-trick but he stuck to his task well and pulled 11 lengths clear of the third.

Reaching High boasts an excellent staying pedigree being by Sea The Stars out of Gold Cup winner Estimate and he can raise his game further over longer trips. It shouldn't be long before he's winning handicaps.
