Two wins from 5 runs this year, including listed race at Newbury in July. Ran up to his best when 3 lengths fourth of 8 to Dawn Charger in Prix Eclipse (23/10) at Chantilly (6f, good) 3 weeks ago. Can give another good account.

Fairly useful colt, running creditably when sixth in big-field nursery at York in August. However, below form when tenth of 17 in valuable sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft, 40/1) 23 days ago. Has work to do.

Promise when narrowly denied in Hamilton maiden in June but not in the same form when eighth of 12 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 7/2) 43 days ago. Difficult ask.

Made a winning debut at Musselburgh in April. Respectable efforts last 2 starts, 3¾ lengths third of 6 to the reopposing Flaccianello in nursery at Ayr (6f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Improvement needed with blinkers applied.

Successful on debut at Beverley in April but hasn't built on that effort in 3 starts since, last of 6 in nursery at York (6f, good, 14/1) 27 days ago. Plenty to find on form.

Much improved from debut when winning at Kempton in July. Matched that level when third of 5 in minor event at Chester (6.1f, good to soft, 10/3) 35 days ago, short of room over 1f out. Needs to find more.

Has won 3 of her 6 starts so far, getting back on the up when landing 6-runner nursery at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 5/2) 15 days ago. Respected for yard which has won this race twice in the last 6 runnings.

Won first 3 starts before finding only one too strong in 17-runner valuable sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft, 7/4) 23 days ago. The one to beat with return to bare 6f and firmer ground to suit.

Opened account at the third attempt at Windsor in June. Below form both starts since, though, 11¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Kylian in listed race at Sandown (5f, good, 100/1) in July. Cheekpieces now the choice of headgear.

Off the mark at Brighton in September, but unable to reproduce that form when fourth of 11 on nursery debut at this C&D (good to firm, 12/1) 10 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Forecasts

Dragon Leader (4/7), Kylian (4/1), Action Point (9/2), Flaccianello (5/1), Balon D'or (14/1), Works Of Art (22/1), Love Billy Boy (22/1), Taygar (80/1), Miss Woo Woo (100/1), Jonny Concrete (100/1), Queues Likely (250/1)

Verdict

DRAGON LEADER may have lost his unbeaten record at Doncaster last time, but the return to a bare 6f and firmer ground can see him resume winning ways. He can land a second valuable event having won readily at York's Ebor meeting, with Flaccianello the main danger after her success at Ayr 15 days ago.
