Ratings Update: Zavateri closing on QEII level

Timeform ratings reaction from the Celebration Mile weekend.

A low-key weekend of action, with the feature race at Goodwood – the Group 2 Virgin Bet Celebration Mile – lessened by a couple of non-runners due to heavy rainfall.

That was no concern to Zavateri (120 from 118), though, who had a considerably easier task than his previous two starts and took advantage in good style, helped by a step back up to what is probably his optimum trip and by some of his rivals misfiring, but still deserving some credit for handling the quick turnaround from York. This was a weak race for the grade and he'll need more if he's to make a significant impact back up in Group 1 company, but this does show he handles testing ground well, something that could well be an asset in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champions Day. For reference, the 3/1 market leader Gstaad is rated 126.

The handicap performance of the day arguably came from the George Scott-trained filly Forty Years On (110p from 108p) who continues to go from strength to strength, connections rewarded for their patient approach, perhaps waiting for this softer ground given she'd had an 11-week break since Newbury. She's open to further progress and a pattern race will surely be on her agenda soon, the Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster's Leger meeting an obvious target with this level of performance already good enough to win a typical running of that.

Over at Sandown, Love Dynasty (108 from 100) proved suited by the emphasis on stamina when just getting the better of Noche Clasica (also 108 from 103) and Moon Target (remains on 109 following this effort on the softest ground she's faced) in the BetMGM Atalanta Stakes. The Kevin Ryan-trained winner is entered in the Sun Chariot, though more is likely to be required to play a prominent role in that.

Forty minutes later in the Bet MGM Solario Stakes, Alfred Wallace (97) didn't need to improve but appreciated a change of tactics in a slightly lesser Group 3 than the Acomb and took advantage against less experienced rivals. Although he's very much a two-year-old on looks, his superb pedigree gives hope for next year, and, more immediately, given his toughness and consistency, he's worth a shot at a top race, the Lagardere perhaps the best option.

At Windsor, Tenability (118 from 113) produced his best effort to date under a 3-lb penalty (gave weight to everything) in the listed Weatherbys August Stakes. A good gallop and much more prominent ride than of late appeared to really suit and, as a typical William Haggas improver, he could well develop into a very smart stayer (will stay at least 1¾m).

In Sunday's feature – the Virgin Bet Prestige Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) - Light of Dawn (98 from 97) looked the pick on form judged on her Albany third to subsequent Lowther winner Libertango and Group 1-winning Sun Goddess, and saw out the longer trip well under more testing conditions as those in behind got in each other's way somewhat. Her yard won this with another imposing type in 2023 (Darnation) who went on to follow up in the May Hill but being kept to seven furlongs looks the way to go with Light of Dawn, the Rockfel presumably up next, her form already not far off winning an average running.

Even more markedly, JM Jungle, not beaten far when seventh in the Nunthorpe nine days earlier (and now rated on that effort, down to 111 from 115), was the class act lining up in the listed William Hill Beverley Bullet Sprint Stakes. He had to fight for a deserved win down in grade from a back-to-form Argentine Tango (105 from 99) and the thriving Badri (remains 108), but didn't advance on his previous best this season.
