Cardsharp¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Fran Berry| T: C & M Johnston

7/2

Lonhro colt, half-brother to several moderate winners. Impressive winner on debut and drops back half a furlong now. Will certainly want further with time but could be a tough nut to crack with experience under his belt.

Form: 14

(1)

Aqabah

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

9/4

Exchange Rate colt, cost $180,000 as a yearling and $550,000 as a two-year-old. Dam was a sister to a Grade 2 winner in the states. Trip looks a little short on debut and bred for dirt/AW racing so probably best watched despite eye-catching sales figures.

(5)

Carouse

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L P Keniry| T: A M Balding

16/1

Excelebreation colt, cost 30,000 gns as a yearling. Bred for plenty further than this test. Opposable despite trainer's fair record around here.

Form:

(2)

Haddaf¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: J Tate

9/4

Dawn Approach colt, cost 85,000 gns as a yearling. Nice debut effort at Leicester last time and will have gleaned plenty from that experience. Will want further with time but has to be a leading player with that promising run under his belt and in with a chance if he settles better.

Form: 2

(4)

Jellmood¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti

5/1

Acclamation colt who made an impressive debut at Doncaster last time. Form of that race took a knock at Chester on Thursday and he's another who will want further given time. Any support in the market would be interesting but probably needs to improve.

Form: 3

(6)

Zabaletaswansong

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

14/1

Maxios colt, cost €38,000 as a yearling. Dam was related to a 1m4f Group 3 winner and will probably want more of a stamina test but yard do well with their sprinters and their two-year-olds have been particularly forward this year so any market support should be noted.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Aqabah (9/4), Haddaf (9/4), Cardsharp (7/2), Jellmood (5/1), Zabaletaswansong (14/1), Carouse (16/1)

It's hard to get away from the claims of CARDSHARP and Haddaf who both produced impressive debuts with a narrow preference for the former here. He could be a tough nut to crack from the front while the latter could do better if he settles better. Any market support for Zabaletaswansong would be interesting but he will probably want further than this.
