CAPE RAMBLER has shown enough on his first few appearances to suggest he can open his account in the EBF Fosse Way Maiden at Leicester.
Henry Candy’s youngster was noted making late progress when sixth on his debut at Salisbury in June, after which he ran third behind subsequent dual Group One winner Dream Ahead at Nottingham.
He again picked up minor honours in another strong race on his latest start at Newmarket and there is every reason to believe he is still improving.
This looks to be his easiest test to date and connections will surely be disappointed if he can not sign off his season with a win.
John Gosden is finishing off the campaign with a real rattle and looks set to add to his tally with Follow My Dream in the Hoby Median Auction Maiden Fillies’ Stakes.
The daughter of Kyllachy is certainly bred for the job as a half-sister to former Group-race winning stablemate Pipedreamer and she was far from disgraced in finishing third on her Salisbury debut.
With race fitness and experience now on her side, she is very difficult to oppose.
Deny has always been held in high regard by his connections, and has been found the perfect opportunity to register a first win in the betdaq.com Maiden Stakes at Kempton.
The Sir Michael Stoute-trained chestnut was the subject of plenty of positive gallops reports earlier in the campaign and held plenty of Group-race entries.
He failed to bring his homework to the track on his debut as he was ultimately well beaten at Newmarket, but his fourth place finish at Newbury last time was a big improvement.
