Dark Tornado sets a clear standard on his best and even last month's second over C&D (stable debut) would bring him firmly into the picture. There are slight reservations though and both Looks Fantastic and INDIAN SPIRIT have the potential to improve past him. Pantani is likely to do much better at some point too and he needs a market check.[Paul Smith]

He has recorded an RPR in the 90s in two of his five starts and a repeat of that form would make him hard to beat; second of eight, beaten over 2l, in a C&D novice on his stable debut five weeks ago and that form has taken some knocks since; sets the standard but not bombproof.
Down the field in one run in Ireland last summer and she was again well held on last month's stable debut at Bath (1m, good to firm); minor handicaps beckon.
Promise in both starts this year, third at Southwell on debut (7f) before a close fourth at Newbury (1m, good) four weeks ago; should continue to progress and he is more appealing than most.
200-1 for his Newmarket debut last month (7f, good), never in the hunt after a slow start; this is less demanding and he is bred to do much better in time.
Backed on his Doncaster debut last October (7f, soft) but failed to threaten; second of 12 on his reappearance at Southwell six weeks ago (1m) but that form isn't anything to be going overboard with; can do better and holds place claims at least in this field.
Unseated his rider early on sole 2yo start; 6-1 for his reappearance at Kempton 19 days ago (6f), a race in which he weakened in the straight; bred to do much better at some point.
45,000gns yearling but sold unraced for 1,000gns last September; second foal of an unraced half-sister to Group 3 winner Reach For The Moon; likely best watched on debut.
