Inspiral, pictured breaking her maiden at Newmarket, is Jane’s idea of the 2022 star of the season


ANGUS MCNAE Lazuli 5yo g (Charlie Appleby) Lazuli is a powerful son of Dubawi who looks every inch a sprinter. He won a Group 3 at Newmarket in a very fast time last season and began this season with a facile success at Meydan. Appropriately that race was named aſter the brilliant Blue Point and this horse could be the best sprinter Godolphin have had since him. He is effective at six furlongs, but it will always be at the minimum trip where we see the best of this horse. Reportedly he will go straight to the King’s Stand at Royal Ascot where he will be tough to beat.


MEGAN NICHOLLS Franz 3yo c (Kevin Ryan) A lovely colt by the exciting Almanzor, he won his only start to date when green before running on strongly to win going away. Haydock maidens and novices oſten produce smart horses and I think this could be one of them. He looks the type to improve for age.


PETER NAUGHTON High Fibre 3yo c (Ralph Beckett) He justified strong support in a 1m1f nursery at Newmarket at the end of October. Rob Hornby’s mount traveled smoothly before skipping clear of toiling rivals. True, he wandered around in front but the colt is still learning. His rating will rise from 75 aſter that dominant display but there’s scope for progress, especially over further. Exciting. For more of Peter’s free notebook horses click here.
