Ateem²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

8/1

Dark Angel colt, cost €150,000 as a yearling. Has been a bit disappointing after he had shown some promise on first two starts, racing keenly last time and still looked green. Needs to settle better.

Form: 434

(2)

Baritone

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute

16/1

Camelot colt, half-brother to two winners and dam Group placed over further. Will probably want more of a stamina test but not dimissed for a yard with a good record with debutantes and Moore in the saddle.

Brother Ralph

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: B J Meehan

33/1

Redoute's Choice colt, cost 75,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a full-sister to useful miler Racketeer and half-sister to 1,000 Guineas winner Attraction. Eye-catching jockey booking for debut and has an interesting enough pedigree. Could run well.

Capital Flight²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: P & O Cole

9/1

Zoffany colt, cost €115,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to useful winners at around a mile and dam was out of a 1m4f Group 3 winner. Plenty of promise on debut but a little disappointing at York last time. May do better over further in handicaps.

Form: 37

Diocles Of Rome

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R M Beckett

50/1

Holy Roman Emperor colt, cost €38,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to five winners including Australian Group 1 winner Contributer and dam a Group 3 winner. Yard in good form in recent weeks and market likely to reveal expectations.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| BF

4/9

Dubawi colt, cost 2,600,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to Group 1 winner Izzi Top, Group 2 winner Jazzi Top and dam was a middle distance Group 1 winner. Shaped nicely on debut and expected to improve here. The one to beat.

Epic Fantasy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: C Hills

50/1

Invincible Spirit colt, half-brother to a winner over this trip and dam was Listed placed half-sister to Group 2 winner Opinion Poll. Trainer capable of readying debutantes and makes enough appeal on pedigree to suggest he has an each-way chance.

Form:

(8)

Harry Callahan

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe

50/1

Dutch Art gelding, half-brother to seven winner including Group 2 winner Bocca Baciata and Group 3 winners Topeka and Kalsa. Dam Group placed and half-sister to Group 3 winner. Slightly off-putting he has already been gelded despite his pedigree.

Form:

(1)

Icart Point

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

50/1

Poet's Voice gelding, cost €14,000 as a yearling. Dam was a juvenile winner over this trip and half-sister to Group 3 winner and St Leger runner-up The Geezer. Nice enough pedigree but gelding operation is off-putting at this stage of his career.

7/1

Zebedee colt, cost 12,000 gns as a yearling. Improved on third start to finish runner-up at Salisbury last time, albeit having the run of the race. Will need to improve again to figure here but yard do well with their juveniles.

Form: 642

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: Ian Williams

100/1

Epaulette colt, cost €47,000 as a foal and €95,000 as a yearling. Related to a couple of 1m juvenile winners and has a decent middle distance pedigree. Has struggled on both starts to date and likely to need more time.

100/1

Sepoy colt, cost 18,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a sprinter at two-years-old and dam also a winning sprinter. Never in it at Haydock last time and needs to take a big step forward here.

25/1

Champs Elysees colt, cost 20,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to five winners, largely over sprint trips. Yard had a big priced debutante winner here on Friday and interesting blend of speed and stamina in his pedigree; interesting runner.

Forecasts

Emaraaty (4/9), Magnificent (7/1), Ateem (8/1), Capital Flight (9/1), Baritone (16/1), Tour de Paris (25/1), Brother Ralph (33/1), Valentino Dancer (33/1), Epic Fantasy (50/1), Diocles Of Rome (50/1), Harry Callahan (50/1), Icart Point (50/1), Matewan (100/1), Sapper (100/1), Foxangel (150/1), Sugar Plum Fairy (200/1)

EMARAATY will be hard to beat after a promising debut last time out and with improvement expected, his rivals have plenty on their plate. Eve Johnson Houghton had a winning debutantes here on Friday and Tour de Paris may run well while Diocles Of Rome has a nice enough pedigree to suggest he may get involved if ready on debut.
