Devil's Peak
DEVIL'S PEAK hasn't looked the easiest of conveyances but he ran well in first-time blinkers when nearest at the finish at Sandown last month and seems sure to be bang there again back up in trip if the headgear works as well for a second time. Nap Hand made a sound start for his new yard over hurdles at Cartmel recently and is feared most reverting to this code on a decent mark.

New Bay colt who made the most of his experience fitted with first-time cheekpieces when off the mark in 6-runner maiden at Sandown (1¼m, good) last month, pushed out after hanging left entering straight. That form hasn't worked out and more will be required on handicap debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 1f 209yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/6Newmarket (rowley)1m 4fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/5Newbury1m 3fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/8Doncaster1m 2f 43yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat3/9Newmarket (rowley)1mGoodFlat2/7- 5(4)Devil's PeakJ: William BuickT: John & Thady Gosden434-245Age 311/411/43/1

Maiden who hasn't looked the most straightforward but he ran well in first-time blinkers when fifth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Sandown (1¼m, good to soft) 35 days ago, nearest finish. Ought to be bang there with a repeat back up in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 1f 209yGoodFlat5/12Ascot1m 1f 212yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat4/5Kempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat2/5Newmarket (rowley)1m 1fGood to SoftFlat4/6Yarmouth7f 3yGoodFlat3/6- 2(1)Nap HandJ: Charles BishopT: Chris Gordon/735-43Age 615/215/27/1

Did well under the circumstances (needed stronger gallop) when third of 10 in 1½m handicap at Salisbury in May and made a sound start for current yard back over hurdles when runner-up at Cartmel (17f) 17 days ago.

Lightly raced 4-y-o who clearly derived plenty from his York reappearance when posting a good second at Newcastle (1¼m) in June, doing well to get amongst those who sat at the head of affairs. Failed to repeat that effort at Sandown, though, and bounce back required.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 1f 209yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/9Newcastle1m 2f 42yStandard / SlowFlat2/9York1m 2f 56yGoodFlat13/16Newcastle1m 2f 42yStandardFlat1/12Ayr1m 2fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat11/13- 3(3)MagnaturaJ: Kieran ShoemarkT: Tom Ward1241-40Age 310/110/19/1

Found further progress when ending 2025 with success at Goodwood (7f) in October and did best of those lacking a recent run when fourth at this venue (1m) on reappearance. However, went backwards from that effort at Newmarket and now upped markedly in trip in a first-time visor.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (july)1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat12/13Newbury1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/10Goodwood7fGoodFlat1/10Sandown Park1mSoftFlat4/4Ffos Las7f 80yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/4
