Gary Sears selects 16 to follow for the 2021 Flat season
AMSBY
Trainer James Eustace
Very lightly raced 4yo who has started handicapping on a low mark and is bred to improve when upped to 12 furlongs.
ELUSIVE KING
Ken Condon
Lightly raced and the type for a decent handicap. Worth a try at 8 furlongs.
FEV ROVER
Richard Fahey
Steady improvement as a 2yo and would have finished much closer at Longchamp in the Marcel Boussac but for being hampered. May be underestimated come 1000 Guineas day
FINANS BAY
Mick Halford
The sort to continue improving and may well prove up to stakes races as the season progresses.
FIVETHOUSANDTOONE
Andrew Balding
Seemed very highly regarded as a 2yo and when returned to sprinting on faster ground can prove top class.
GOOD LISTENER
Richard Hannon
Had a bit in hand when winning at Windsor and interesting to see what mark he gets.
GRAND SCHEME
Richard Hannon
Three promising runs as a 2yo and a mark of 72 could be ok. Mixed messages on pedigree as to how far he’ll stay.
GROUP ONE POWER
Andrew Balding
Ran really well at Royal Ascot and if gelding operation improves him should do well in decent handicaps.
IMPERIAL SUN
John and Thady Gosden
Bred to stay well. Guess go for a maiden then up in class.
INTERPRETATION
Aidan O’Brien
Very promising debut and when upped in trip likely to improve considerably.
KELMSCOTT
David Menuisier
Scope to improve as the season progresses and could make a pretty good handicapper.
MOJO STAR
Richard Hannon
Couldn’t have been more promising on debut, travelling strongly, and no surprise if he makes into a Group class horse.
MONSOON MOON
John and Thady Gosden
Beautifully bred. A big, scopey filly she powered clear at Newmarket and everything points to her being a top class 3yo.
SIR SEDRIC
Andrew Kinirons
Showed plenty of pace as a 2yo and possibly given faster ground should pay his way in sprints.
SURREY PRIDE
Joseph Tuite
Things didn’t go his way towards the end of last season but is pretty useful and is worth following in good handicaps.
TURN ON THE CHARM
James Fanshawe
Has a really good turn of foot and hopefully his running style will keep him ahead of the handicapper.
