Further terms and conditions may apply
98 Expert View: Probably ran to form when fourth beaten 3 1/2l in Anglesey Stakes (Group 3) at the Curragh latest; probably wants 6f, acts on good and firm; may do better again up to 7f.
88 Expert View: Fair debut, good attitude when 3/4l winner in a maiden at Kempton on debut; effective 6f on AW; improvement likely but needed at this level.
101 Expert View: Overcame trouble, very promising effort when a neck winner in a maiden at Sandown on debut; effective 7f, acts on good; more to come, respected up in grade for good yard.
93 Expert View: Improved again on handicap debut when winning a nursery at Chester by 1 1/2l last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; progressive well but up in grade now.
110 Expert View: Confirmed debut promise upped in grade, improved for 7f when fourth beaten 4l in Superlative Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket (July) latest; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; strong claims down in grade.
95 Expert View: Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; good attitude, hit the line well on debut a length winner in a novice at Salisbury on debut; effective 6f on good; shapes as though 7f will suit but plenty more needed at this level.
103 Expert View: Sweating heavily, fell away tamely and disappointing beaten 8l in Chesham Stakes (Listed) here last time; in good form prior; effective 7f, acts on good to soft and good; needs to confirm Musselburgh form is not misleading, could bounce back.
95 Expert View: Improved to get off the mark when winning a novice at Salisbury by 1 1/4l last time; effective 6f, acts on good and fast ground; still open to improvement as he goes up to 7f now.
98 Expert View: Lacked pace beaten 10l in Albany Stakes (Group 3) here last time; in good form prior; effective 6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; should appreciate 7f now but improvement required.
Verdict
A decent Listed event for these 2yos, Sonny Parvenue looked promising when scoring over 6f on his debut and he could improve plenty for the extra furlong now, but he certainly needs to as the standard set by SILVER DOMINION is a good one. He finished third in the Group 2 Superlative at Newmarket last time and a reproducton of that can see him go close, with the fifth from that day Alfred Wallace again taken to be put in his place. A bigger threat may come from the once-raced winner Gymbaazy, who is from a good yard and made a promising start at Sandown. Time For The Moon, who had excuses in the Chesham, had earlier won well at Musselburgh and could easily bounce back here.
