Barton Mills

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: W J Haggas

8/1

February foal who cost 42,000 guineas and is a brother to the smart juvenile 6f/7f winner Woottton Bassett. In good hands and entitled to respect first time out.

Form:

(2)

Compulsive

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian

6/1

Changed hands for €100,000 guineas as a juvenile, having cost less as a yearling. Speed on the dam's side but a half-brother to a 1m3f winner, so hard to assess trip-wise. Market the best guide.

Form:

(11)

Exprompt⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: H Palmer

12/1

Changed hands for 210,000 guineas at the Breeze-Up sales in April but unfancied for his debut over 6f at Newmarket in July and was never competitive after a sluggish exit. Should only improve but draw could have been kinder.

Form: 8

(6)

Fennaan^h1,t1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Robert Tart| T: J & T Gosden

8/1

Cost €50,000 as a yearling with his dam (unraced) hailing from the family of Derby winner New Approach. Presence of a tongue strap for his debut tempers enthusiasm slightly.

Form:

(3)

Morlock

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby

11/8

March foal who changed hands for £90,000 as a yearling, having cost less as a foal. Dam an unraced half-sister to the smart middle-distance winner Folk Opera. Stable's newcomers always merit respect.

Form:

(9)

Reshaan

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

14/1

January foal by Dark Angel who cost €260,000 as a yearling being out of a dam who won over 7f at two. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and very much one to consider first time out.

Form:

(8)

Roman Warrior

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: H J L Dunlop

50/1

Holy Roman Emperor colt who cost 41,000 guineas as a yearling. Dam a winner over 1m in Germany. Probably best watched first time out unless market vibes suggest otherwise.

Form:

(10)

Warsaan³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| BF

4/1

Comes from a good family but just found wanting in two maidens over 6f at Newbury and Newmarket so far, most recently when a 2L third behind Crossing The Line. His Dam won over 1m2f, so entitled to improve for this extra furlong.

Form: 23

(1)

Mandarin Princess²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: P J McBride

33/1

Cheap purchase who was sent off a 33/1 chance for her debut over 7f at Newmarket last month and finished a soundly beaten 8th of 10. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 8

(5)

Sa'ada²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch⁽³⁾| T: G Peckham

150/1

Changed hands for $85,000 earlier this year but was sent off at 100/1 for a Yarmouth maiden last month and could only beat one home after taking a keen hold. Best watched in the short-term.

Form: 0

Blackwood³²

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

Imperatrice

Weight: 8-11| Age: 2

Forecasts

Morlock (11/8), Warsaan (4/1), Compulsive (6/1), Barton Mills (8/1), Fennaan (8/1), Exprompt (12/1), Imperatrice (12/1), Reshaan (14/1), Mandarin Princess (33/1), Roman Warrior (50/1), Blackwood (50/1), Sa'ada (150/1)

Warsaan sets the standard form-wise and his previous experience should stand him in good stead but it would be no surprise to see this fall to a newcomer with the €260,000 purchase RESHAAN particularly catching the eye on paper. Morlock and Barton Mills would also be of interest if the market spoke in their favour.
