A smashing renewal of the Wokingham with any number holding chances. REALIGN had clearly come on plenty for his reappearance and made his class tell when scoring in good style at Carlisle 3 weeks ago and rates a big player again under a penalty. His stablemate Binhareer is feared on the back of an excellent York second, with Double Rush another of definite interest having made it 2-2 for Andrew Balding at Newmarket in May. Sondad, Far Above Dream and Completely Random also make each-way appeal.

Got back on the up with an impressive victory in 19-runner Coral Sprint Trophy at York (6f) in October. Raised 10 lb on the back of that and he improved further when second over same C&D on return to action in May, finishing off his race very well.

Low-mileage 4-y-o who was most impressive when making a winning debut for Andrew Balding at Newmarket (6f) in April and, well in under a penalty, followed up with the minimum of fuss back there at the Guineas Meeting. 10 lb higher now but he has to be high on the shortlist again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (rowley)6fGood to FirmFlat1/9Newmarket (rowley)6fGoodFlat1/13Ascot6fGood to SoftFlat15/19Hamilton Park6f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/14York6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/18- 1(30)Spy ChiefJ: William BuickT: John & Thady Gosden27638-2Age 49/19/110/1

Low-mileage 4-y-o who justified good support when landing small field Goodwood handicap (6f) in August.
