Centurio set to land spoils.


Byline: ARGUS Argus (är`gəs) or Argos (är`gŏs, –gəs), in Greek mythology.

CENTURIO bumped into a nice prospect in Godolphin''s Zeitoper on his racecourse bow and he can improve on that third in the first division of the Pinke Jobs Maiden MAIDEN. The name of an instrument formerly used in Scotland for beheading criminals.  Stakes at Newbury.

He ran very green in the early stages at Sandown that day before turning in a nice finish to claim minor honours.

Centurio should have learned plenty for that experience and can strike at the second time of asking.

Crimson Ribbon found Listed company far too hot last time but is the one to follow as she makes her handicap bow in the Malone Roofing Fillies'' Handicap off a mark of 83.

John Gosden''s charge is certainly bred in the purple, being a full sister to Hardwicke Stakes The Hardwicke Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for four-year-old and above thoroughbreds.

Crimson Ribbon made a pleasing enough start when third at Wolverhampton in April, but she had to dig deep when breaking her maiden with a neck success at Newmarket in May.

Gosden then stepped her up to Listed level at Yarmouth last month, when she set a strong early pace under Nicky Mackay before weakening in the finish to fade right out of it.

Eustace''s runner shrugged off a lengthy absence to finish in the frame at Wolverhampton last month in what was a most satisfactory performance.

Although the form of that third-placerun is nothing special, this Indian Haven colt may be good enough here.

Alazan made a pleasing enough debut over hurdles and he would not have to improve much to win the Hatherleigh Juvenile Maiden Hurdle at Wincanton.

Trained now by Philip Hobbs having been in Ireland during his Flat days, finishing second at Perth on his hurdling bow is good enough to suggest he should be up to winning a race of similar nature.

Sprosser must have had Oliver Sherwood pulling what is left of his hair out last season.

The nine-year-old ended the season without a win but he is undoubtedly talented.

He now finds himself back over timber and he is worth a chance in the Ladbrokes At Worcester Racecourse Novices'' Hurdle at the Worcestershire venue.
