Up And Coming Stakes – 2023

Track: Good Weather: Fine

As wide open as a race will get. Caballus has been running well and gets the gun jockey and ideal draw. Les Vampires showed good kick to win last start after being green on debut. Encap wasn’t far off it and will be suited to the wider track. Manwe is going well and has been subject to early market support. Griff has good claims from the slightly awkward draw while Tom Kitten comes out of some strong form races and the list absolutely does not end there.

1. Tom Kitten (3)

Maps well, market watch fresh.

2. Cafe Millenium (7)

Superb debut win then didn’t go on with things. Use the market as a guide.

3. Caballus (4)

Racing well and has the form on the board. Maps well and gets the services of J-Mac. Solid chance.

4. Kintyre (11)

Tough draw but has been racing well. Can give this a shake.

5. Manwe (2)

Good debut win. Might be able to go on with things here. Chance.

6. Ducasse (1)

Will get every hope from barrier 1. Can lead these up and give this race a shake.

7. Encap (9)

The one the market has overlooked. Has been looking for this trip. Will get back and run on. Has been specked and should continue to firm.

8. Infatuation (12)

Can’t have.

9. Tutta La Vita (5)

Market watch fresh. Good win to finish off last prep. Can give this a shake.

10. Griff (8)

Should prove hard to hold out. Likeable last start run and goes in the mix against this bunch.

11. Les Vampires (6)

Has the map advantage and running style over Encap but couldn’t have them so far apart in the market. Short but still can win.

12. Hasty Honey (10)

Can’t have.
