Fort George
It was a pretty taking performance that FORT GEORGE delivered on his handicap debut at the Newmarket Craven meeting and, with further progress on the cards, a 5 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him from going in again. Indeed, he has the makings of a useful handicapper and looks the type who could emerge as a leading candidate for the Britannia at Royal Ascot next month. Arctic Grey and Transparent are feared most in that order of preference, while Wiltshire Lad is also shortlisted.

Shaped well all 3 starts on the AW as a 2-y-o (gelded following final run of juvenile campaign) and displayed a useful turn of foot when scoring on his handicap/turf debut at Newmarket (1m, good) 3 weeks ago. 5 lb rise by no means the end of the world and he probably has more to offer.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (rowley)1mGoodFlat1/8Newcastle1m 5yStandardFlat3/10Newcastle1m 5yStandardFlat2/12Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat4/9- 4(9)TransparentJ: Daniel MuscuttT: Tom Ward2-112Age 310/3

Confirmed promise of debut second when running out a good winner of a Kempton novice (7f) in January. Followed up at Southwell next time before progressing again to finish second on handicap/turf debut at Newmarket (1m, good).

Much-improved when winning 7-runner nursery at Southwell (1m) in October (final start for Sir Michael Stoute). Subsequently gelded and was rather disappointing on return for new yard at Musselburgh, but he's certainly not one to write off just yet.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh1m 2yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat6/8Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat1/7Yarmouth7f 3yGood to FirmFlat5/10Chester7f 1yGoodFlat2/6Doncaster7f 6yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat4/6- 2(2)Sky AdvocateJ: Rossa RyanT: Clive Cox3422-Age 38/1

Shaped well first 2 starts at 2 yrs, third in a Salisbury novice on debut and then fourth in a valuable sales race in Ireland. However, he subsequently failed to land the odds in a couple of runs on the AW (both 7f) and improvement needed now upped to a mile for this handicap bow.

Fetched 80,000 gns as a yearling and made winning start to his career in a 1m Southwell novice last month. Subsequently chased home one with Group-race aspirations in Sallaal at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) and further progress likely now handicapping.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHamilton Park1m 68yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/5Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat1/8- 5(1)BintjeddahJ: Cieren FallonT: William Haggas712-5Age 312/1

Costly purchase who left low-key 2-y-o debut well behind when landing a 1m Haydock novice (good) in first-time cheekpieces in September. Good second at Yarmouth on final start of last season, but she didn't make much of an impact on return/handicap bow at Southwell (1m).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell1m 13yStandardFlat5/8Yarmouth1m 3yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat2/8Haydock Park7f 212yGood to SoftFlat1/6Newmarket (july)7fGoodFlat7/8- 1(8)San JuanitoJ: Robert HavlinT: Simon & Ed Crisford3-33118Age 314/1

Built on promising Brocklesby fourth when landing a 5f Thirsk maiden for Alice Haynes last spring. Performed above market expectations by making the frame in the Woodcote at Epsom on final start of his 2-y-o campaign but subsequent absence is a concern ahead of this handicap/yard debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosEpsom Downs6f 3yGood to SoftFlat4/10Ascot5fGood to SoftFlat6/6Thirsk5fHeavyFlat1/7Doncaster5f 3ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat4/15- Non-Runners

Stepped up on 2-y-o exploits when justifying favouritism on return in a 1m Windsor maiden (good to firm) last month, proving a length too strong for subsequent winner Herculeus. More will be needed now handicapping but he's hardly exposed and has the assistance of William Buick here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor1m 31yGood to FirmFlat1/11Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat7/11Windsor1m 31yGood to FirmFlat5/11Ascot7fGoodFlat10/12
