Dandy Man gelding; 55,000euros foal, 70,000gns yearling, 3,000gns 3yo; dam unraced sister to 6f winner, closely related to smart Swedish 6f Listed winner, out of maiden half-sister to US 8.5f/1m1f Grade 3 winner.
Not especially progressive and well held in handicaps this year; slowly away and raced freely when staying on into third here (10.5f) last week; drop in trip not sure to suit; place claims.
Step in the right direction at Galway in October, staying on for third having raced wide on home turn (7f, heavy); has raced only on soft or heavy so has to prove effectiveness for this surface on AW debut.
One of two for yard; 10,000euros foal; half-brother to 1m 2yo winner; dam 7f 2yo winner, half-sister to useful 6f-1m winners, out of half-sister to Italian 6f Group 2 winner; stable 0-10 on the Flat.
Half-sister to winners Double Effect and Shangri La; dam French 6f 2yo winner (RPR 96), half-sister to Group 1-placed 6f 2yo-1m1f winner San Marino Grey; worth a market check.
Kingman filly; 24,000gns 3yo; dam 1m/8.5f winner (inc Group 3; RPR 112), sister to useful 1m-1m2f winners, half-sister to US 1m2f Grade 1 winner Debussy; yard 2-19 with 3yos at the track.
Top-rated of these following four placings in her six maiden runs, including on latest when third here (1m) two weeks ago from wide draw (raced freely); didn't run badly in Listed company when tried in September last year; sets the standard.
Has shown ability in four AW starts (placing in two C&D maidens); regressed on turf but back from break with eyecatching C&D handicap fourth of 14 nine days ago, best work at the finish; in the mix.
Useful pedigree; never-dangerous sixth of nine in Kempton novice (7f) on debut; worse effort at Newbury (6f) in August; market will reveal expectations on first run for Natalia Lupini; hooded.
