(13)

Falak²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: R Varian

16/1

Bought for 165,000 gns in 2014 but has gone through the ring unsold in October 2016 and again a couple of weeks ago. Has looked ordinary on both starts to date and the form of his latest effort has taken knocks since.

Form: 0-3

(14)

Arcadian Sea¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Aarron Miller⁽⁷⁾| T: W Jarvis

100/1

Well beaten on both starts to date and hood fitted last time is removed. Inexperienced rider on board and hard to build a case.

Form: 0-4

(10)

Archetype³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Martin Lane| T: S & E Crisford

9/2

Le Havre colt, cost €60,000 as a breeze-up purchase. Half-brother to Kay Es Jay who was placed in Group company. Promising fourth on debut at Newbury and one of the main contenders with further improvement likely.

Form: 4

(12)

Aware³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: C Hills

33/1

Half-brother to Viztoria fetched €90,000. Minor promise in two maidens that looked weaker than this contest. Looks up against it from a poor draw.

Form: 7-4

(3)

Cool Team^t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: H Palmer

3/1

Had a couple of winners behind when runner-up on debut and not disgraced at Windsor last time. Has a race of this nature in him but current form of yard (1-27 in last fortnight) has to be a concern.

Form: 2-2

(4)

King Kevin¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nathan Alison⁽³⁾| T: E A L Dunlop

100/1

Half-brother to several winners but has offered little hope of following in that tradition on his first two starts. Switches to the AW for the first time with yard 1-40 in the past four weeks.

Form: 00

(8)

Najashee³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Owen Burrows

8/1

Invincible Spirit colt, cost €700,000 as a yearling. Closely related to Group One winners Most Improved and Ectot. Holds an entry in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. Ran better than his final placing suggests at Newbury on debut when showing signs of inexperience. Yard are 3-9 at the track and all four winners for them this season have been well supported.

Form: 8

(7)

Noble Conquest¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Sir Michael Stoute

11/10

Purchased for €150,000 as a two-year-old last May. Dam a winner over 1m2f. Shaped well on debut when well supported and looks sure to come on for the run. Beaten by two more experienced rivals and the form looks the pick of that on offer.

Form: 3

(1)

Our Kim³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Moubarak

100/1

Just the one run so far at Doncaster over 7f but was very green and well held on that occasion after being slowly away and made little impression.

Form: 87

(5)

Red Master¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: E A L Dunlop

100/1

Cost 110,000gns as a yearling and is well-bred being a half-brother to Listed winner Sweet Cecily. No show in two runs so far during a four week period in which the yard are 1-40.

Form: 88

(9)

Star Gypsy¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood⁽⁵⁾| T: L M Cumani

50/1

€120,000 purchase at Arqana and the first foal of an unraced half-sister to the top-class sprinter Society Rock. Down the field on debut but yard's horses are improving for a run.

Form: 0

(6)

Toronto Sound¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Powell| T: Sir Mark Prescott

50/1

58,000 gns yearling by Aussie Rules out of Caribana who herself was a 75 rated 1m1f AW winner. Sixth foal, and a half-brother to winners Cubanita and Camagueyana. Looked in need of the experience on debut and appeals as the type to do better in handicaps later in the year.

Form: 6

(11)

Glassalt¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: M L W Bell

25/1

Well beaten third at Kempton last time and the form leaves her with plenty to find during the five months she has been absent.

Form: 03-

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Noble Conquest (11/10), Cool Team (3/1), Archetype (9/2), Ebtkaar (6/1), Najashee (8/1), Falak (16/1), Glassalt (25/1), Aware (33/1), Star Gypsy (50/1), Toronto Sound (50/1), Arcadian Sea (100/1), Red Master (100/1), Our Kim (100/1), King Kevin (100/1)

Najashee is clearly one to watch in the market given his current entry in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and a prior entry in the Newmarket equivalent. Archetype ran a promising race at Newbury on debut, whilst Cool Team only found one too good at Windsor last time but the yard have been struggling for winners lately. NOBLE CONQUEST represents a yard with a good bunch of three-year-olds this term. He only found two more experienced rivals too strong last time in a race where the winner was enterprisingly ridden and had the pick of the racing ground. That form looks the best on offer and he should take this before going on to better things.
