Jumaira Bay
Third, Doncaster, Sunday

If you were to look up the definition of eyecatcher in the dictionary, then Jumaira Bay would be right underneath it.

Held up after a slow start on his handicap debut, Jumaira Bay hit a wall of horses two furlongs out and was only given a clear run a furlong out when the leaders had got away.

The Roger Varian-trained son of Siyouni stormed home to finish third, just two and a half lengths behind the winner, Tiger Crusade.

The second, Society Lion, also beat Jumaira Bay on his second start at Yarmouth and, at the very least, the latter can reverse the form. He looks a surefire winner on his next start.

Sixth, Haydock, Sunday

While Jumaira Bay was an obvious eyecatcher, Jackamundo was less so, but he is still a compelling horse for the future.

Bumped slightly at the start, the four-year-old travelled enthusiastically and showed he had clearly come forward from his reappearance at Newcastle.

In a race in which few could make inroads from the rear, Jackamundo made a smart initial move before not being pushed very hard late on when his stride was interrupted.

A good fifth in a red-hot handicap at York in October off a mark of 79, this effort off 77 indicates he will be a horse to back again very soon.

Thai Power
Second, Wolverhampton, Friday

After a breakthrough success at Kempton, it will be considered disappointing by some that Thai Power failed to follow up from a 6lb higher perch when second at Wolverhampton last week.

Reverting to a tighter track definitely didn't suit him, though, and the Sir Michael Stoute-trained winner, Galata Bridge, had got in lightly for his handicap debut.

When back on a more galloping course in the coming weeks, it will be a surprise if Thai Power, an imposing three-year-old, doesn't add to his tally.

Caradoc
Sixth, Epsom, Saturday

Caradoc had reportedly been tricky to get revved up for his seasonal return in the well-established Investec Handicap on Derby day and, while never a serious player in a falsely run race, his staying-on sixth was full of promise.

Oisin Murphy had to take his medicine early from stall 15 and it was clear turning for home that this talented five-year-old was faced with an impossible task.

However, he began to motor out wide from the two-furlong marker, finishing best, and looks nailed on to improve sharply next time out. There's no doubt a big one in him this year.
