EBN ARAB has the potential to make up into a really nice horse this year and should be followed in the Cantor Fitzgerald Corporate Finance Heron Stakes at Sandown.
A beautiful-looking son of Dixie Union, Paul Hanagan thinks the world of him and he enjoyed a confidenceboosting success at Doncaster last time out.
Not disgraced in Group Three company on his final two starts of last season after winning on debut, with another winter on his back he appears capable of better things and the way he won on Town Moor suggests he will get the mile here.
Main Sequence is also worth another chance in the Cantor Fitzgerald Brigadier Gerard Stakes.
Things have not gone to plan since his fine second to what was a peak Camelot in last year’s Derby at Epsom, but there is just a feeling he might have more to offer.
He could have picked up a Group One after that Epsom run but for meeting all kinds of trouble at Longchamp and was not disgraced in the Leger.
Gelded before his first run of this season, he was a little disappointing on the face of it behind Ektihaam at Ascot over a mile and a half.
However, David Lanigan’s charge was entitled to need the run there and it will be interesting to see what he can do with a positive ride dropped to ten furlongs, on what will just his second try at the trip.
Plenty with similar claims in the Cantor Fitzgerald Equities National Stakes, but Autumns Blush might be the one for Jeremy Noseda and Kieren Fallon.
The filly showed ability when mid-division on debut and won with a good deal in hand next time up at Yarmouth to justify cramped odds.
She gets a nice weight allowance and this trainer-jockey combination teamed up to win the race with a filly back in 2005 so know what is required.
The Seymour Pierce Henry II Stakes looks wide-open and offers an opportunity for Model Pupil to prosper on his first try at two miles.
He is bred to get the trip, being by Sinndar out of a stout-stayer in Modesta, and could certainly come into his own as, while quite a classy type, he falls short of the best at a mile and a half.
