Now is the time
Forever Now can hit the ground running with victory in the totepool EBF Stallions Barry Hills Further Flight Stakes at Nottingham.
A full-brother to Shantaram, he could turn into one of the leading stayers this season.
Given the winter to strengthen up, Forever Now looks to type to thrive this season.
Gosden could also be on the mark in the opening totejackpot Go For The Big One Maiden Stakes with occult.
The Oasis Dream colt is from a very classy Juddmonte family which includes Banks Hill and Dansili.
Another one of interest for Gosden is waady in the toteplacepot Racing’s Favourite Bet Handicap.
After showing pace on his debut at Newmarket, he showed the benefit of that experience at Sandown, where, in a hood, he was a cosy winner over five furlongs.
With the ground riding soft Michael Dods’ SPINATRIX should take some beating in the toteexacta Pick the 1, 2 Conditions Stakes.
She is an absolute credit to connections and revels when the mud is flying.
Pam Sly’s ASTEROIDEA may really come to herself this season and looks interesting in the Tom Sowerby 18th Birthday Handicap (A Qualifier for the 2015 Catterick Twelve Furlong Series) at Catterick.
Out of Sly’s Guineas winner Speciosa, she is by Sea The Stars and gained a valuable win at Ripon last summer.
