My Timeform: Three to be positive about

Thunderstorm Katie

Seventh, 5f handicap, Musselburgh, Wednesday 6 November

Thunderstorm Katie was slowly away and outpaced on her first start at five furlongs, but she made encouraging late headway, looking like she would benefit from a return to six or seven furlongs. This was only Thunderstorm Katie's second start for Jim Goldie (previously with Brian Toomey) and she had also shaped well on her debut for the yard when fourth in a six-furlong handicap at Newcastle. This three-year-old doesn't have many miles on the clock and remains capable of better for her new yard.

Dancing Teapot

Runner-up, 7f fillies' maiden, Dundalk, Friday 8 November

Dancing Teapot caught the eye on paper as a sister to French 2000 Guineas runner-up Dancing Gemini and she shaped well on debut. Dancing Teapot couldn't quite get on terms with one of the joint-favourites Misappropriation who made all under a canny ride, but she impressed with the good late work she put in and only missed out by a head. She's entitled to be sharper with this encouraging effort under her belt and she's well up to winning a similar event at Dundalk if kept on the go over the winter.

Win Some Lose Some

Fourth, 2½m handicap hurdle, Naas, Sunday 10 November

Win Some Lose Some is going the right way and shaped well in fourth in a good-quality and competitive event at Naas, producing his best performance yet on Timeform's figures and leaving the impression that he could do even better over further. Win Some Lose Some was ridden leaving the back straight and never threatened to get on terms, but he stayed on well up the run-in to get to within three lengths of the winner, shaping like a step up to three miles would be in his favour. He's won three of his six starts so far this season and may not have reached his limit.
