Nine of the declarations have run but that does not make the picture much clearer because they have accomplished so little. Christmas Gift and Beauty Beyond have arguably shown the most, while MAGICAL IDEA (tentatively preferred) could be the biggest improver.[Richard Austen]

40-1 when eighth of ten at Salisbury (7f, good) last July; not seen again until Kempton (7f, AW; 100-1) 12 days ago when the deficit was roughly halved but he still finished only eight of nine; major work to do.
Showed a bit of promise over C&D (good to firm) in May, more than when drawn wide at Kempton (7f, AW) 16 days later; better should be forthcoming at some point.
Late foal by Havana Grey; first foal; unraced dam closely related to modest 7f 2yo winner Beechwood Emily, half-sister to winners Skeaping (1m2f Flat/2m hurdle) and Windy Cove (2m hurdle), out of 1m2f winner; others are more persuasive on paper.
Attracted strong support on his debut in a valuable novice at Kempton (1m, AW) in October but beat only one home; plenty went wrong that day but he returned with a heavy defeat at Nottingham (1m, good; 14-1) one month ago.
Closely related to two smart middle-distance stayers; slowly away and always behind at big prices in 1m maidens (good to firm) at Yarmouth and Nottingham; likely to come into his own in handicaps over further.
By Frontiersman; third foal; brother to 1m-11.6f winner Miss Dolly Rocker (RPR 85), half-brother to 1m 2yo/1m2f AW winner Silverscape (86); dam 1m-1m2f winner (86), half-sister to Group-placed 1m6f/2m winner St Michel; hooded for debut; needs a second look given the lack of form on offer.
Very useful pedigree; faded into fourth of seven at Newcastle (13-2) and never dangerous from wide draw at Chelmsford (5-1), both 1m on AW; both runs showed some ability, though, and she's one to consider.
Never threatened a serious blow when mid-division over 7f on AW at Chelmsford (3-1) and Kempton (15-2); settling her has been a work in progress; brings among the best form claims, albeit at an unexciting level.
190,000euros yearling; by Siyouni and first foal of unraced half-sister to her yard's Eclipse winner Mukhadram and daughter of half-sister to two Group 1 scorers; 6-1 when last of six in novice at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) six weeks ago, making most to over 2f out but carrying her head awkwardly as she weakened; will hopefully have come on plenty since and is not dismissed.
40-1 and looked green trying to come from last in a ten-runner novice at Leicester (1m, good to soft) 13 days ago, beaten just over 14l but she did at least pass three of her rivals.
