Bajan Gold²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Adam Beschizza| T: S C Williams

Iffraaj colt related to multiple winners including the useful two-year-old 6f winner Heaven's Heart. Also has plenty leaning for stamina in pedigree and market can steer opening expectations.

1/1

Dubawi colt cost 75,000 gns, beaten just 1L into third of seven on debut at Ascot over 7f (heavy) this month and a step forward on that will put him to the front of the queue here for in-form trainer.

Forecasts

Dream Warrior (1/1), Regal Reality (9/4), Rich Identity (11/2), Comporta (16/1), Bajan Gold (20/1), Sheriff (25/1), Grandscape (33/1), Twister (33/1), Launceston Place (50/1), Go Fox (66/1), Roof Garden (100/1)

Bajan Gold appeared to be getting the hang of things late in the piece last time at Ffos Las. He'll handle the ground and, with further improvement likely, could take plenty beating in this. Similarly, Dream Warrior made a more than decent start last time at Ascot when a close third in testing ground and any improvement makes him a likeable candidate for this contest. REGAL REALITY however makes significant appeal on paper for this debut run and represents the powerful axis of Stoute and Moore who retain a strong strike rate this year. The handler has had just seven runners here in 2017, with two wins and two placed efforts and can take away another prize today.
