Twice-raced maiden. Improved when second of 6 in novice at Ascot (12f, soft, 9/4) 26 days ago. Potential there to make a useful stayer in time and he seems sure to go well up in trip.
Lightly-raced maiden. Well-beaten tenth of 11 to Illinois in Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (14.2f, good to firm, 125/1) 133 days ago. Down markedly in class on return.
Fair filly. 9/4 and blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 7 in novice at Epsom (10.1f, soft) 31 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Significantly back up in trip. Visor on 1st time.
Once-raced maiden. 12/1, seventh of 14 in maiden at Kempton (11f) on debut 28 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Should have more to offer and is worthy of interest.

Forecasts
Fireblade (11/8), Faifa (3/1), Mr Hampstead (4/1), Games People Play (5/1), Volakes (12/1), Rose Coloured Girl (50/1), Rained Off (100/1)
FIREBLADE bettered his debut form when runner-up at Ascot and, with further progress on the cards, he's fancied to get the better of stablemate Faifa, who has achieved a bit more to this point. Volakes is also of interest with improvement expected.
