Fourth, Newcastle, Tuesday

Langton Wold, an unexposed sort from a good yard, appeals as the type to win races on the all-weather this winter judged on his staying-on fourth in an ordinary nursery on his fifth career start.

The Brian Ellison-trained juvenile had not shown much in his previous four races, but was having his first try beyond sprint distances and shaped with a good degree of promise.

He certainly did not fail through lack of stamina; in fact he shaped as though he might be suited by the step up to a mile, which is backed up by certain parts of his pedigree. There will be plenty of opportunities on this surface in the coming months. [Richard Young]

Third, Kempton, Wednesday

Bayraq ran a race full of promise on his debut for Owen Burrows, especially as he did not always have a lot of room to work with in the home straight.

The son of top-class US turf horse Kitten's Joy, who is enjoying plenty of success on this side of the Atlantic having sired Roaring Lion and Kameko, cost $120,000 as a yearling and kept on strongly in the closing stages to get up for third on the line.

He looks the type to come on for the experience and shaped as though he will get a mile soon enough. [David Toft]

Fourth, Newmarket, Thursday

John and Thady Gosden look to have another smart prospect on their hands in Magisterial, who was just caught out by a lack of experience when fourth on his debut in what is traditionally a strong maiden.

A son of Frankel and a close relation to dual Group 1 scorer Lillie Langtry, Magisterial travelled well into the Dip, but his inexperience then showed and he lost ground after becoming outpaced.

He finished nicely once he met the rising ground again though, and was ultimately beaten by just two lengths.

He looks the type who is going to improve a ton and winning a maiden or novice should prove a formality this autumn. [Mark Brown]

Third, Newmarket, Saturday

David Menuisier's stock in the training ranks has risen in the last few seasons and he looks to have another potentially decent sort on his hands if the debut performance of Flamenco Fan is anything to go by.

This half-sister to four winners, notably Middle Park winner Charming Thought and the smart Spanish City, shaped with a fair degree of promise in a hood when third behind the highly regarded fellow newcomer Miss Carol Ann.

She kept to her task in pleasing fashion in the last quarter-mile to fare the best of those ridden with patience and should be able to win in similar company before going up in grade. [Richard Young]

Second, Newmarket, Saturday

The money went astray on big Cambridgeshire gamble Anmaat, but those who had their fingers burnt should be sure to stick with this potential Group horse.

The Owen Burrows-trained three-year-old looked the likeliest winner for much of the race given the way he tanked through it. He also found for pressure but was just nailed in the closing stages by a more patiently ridden rival in Bedouin's Story, who had the race teed up for him.

As this was only his seventh start, there is more improvement to come in Anmaat and little doubt he can make amends in another decent handicap before going on to bigger things. [Richard Young]

Fourth, Epsom, Sunday

George Morland has largely struggled since making a winning debut at Kempton in March but did enough here to suggest he has dropped to a feasible handicap mark.

The Henry Candy-trained three-year-old had a nice lead into the race and ran on well to hit the front – looking the likely winner a furlong out – but he tied up in the closing stages and was run out of the places.

In hindsight he and Alezan, who led most of the way before dropping out to finish a further two lengths behind in sixth, probably did a bit too much too soon, so George Morland could win something similar when things pan out better. [Steffan Edwards]
