Selected odds by:
€50,000 purchase from the first crop of Maxios whose progeny are yet to set the pulse racing. Half-brother to a useful sprinter in France and holds an entry in next year's Epsom Derby. Down the field in a poor Ascot maiden on debut.
€110,000 son of Dawn Approach and related to three winners including Earl Of Leitrim who was a useful juvenile. Yard have had a relatively quiet year with this age group and this colt may be one for another day.
High Chaparral colt, cost 105,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to several winners at around this trip and dam is a German Listed winner and half-sister to Group 2 winner Snow Ridge. Only beat one home on debut when weak in the market.
Mastercraftsman half-brother to 5f/6f and Group Two winner Ajaya. Yard are 4-13 with this age group this month and therefore hard to dismiss.
Lope De Vega colt who cost 20,000gns as a two-year-old. Related to a couple of winners internationally but jumps-orientated trainer has never had a two-year-old winner in his career (though this is only his second juvenile runner).
Frankel half-brother to Kingman, so he is bred to be a superstar. Has not yet produced a performance to match, but yard's juveniles are in great shape at present.
60,000 gns gelded son of Zoffany out of a dam who was a Listed winner in Germany. Represents a top yard but jockey booking suggests the run may be needed.
Dansili colt out of a dam who was a Listed winner. From a yard with a good crop of juveniles, but one which has also had some expensive failures recently. Holds a Derby entry.
Mizzen Mast brother to two winners (Lanyard and Harbour Master) and half-brother to three more. Lanyard won on heavy ground on debut so he has the potential to be a surprise package.
Mastercraftsman colt and first foal of Group Three winning juvenile Ollie Olga. Yard have a strong hand in the juvenile division and another to check in pre-race trading.
€60,000 son of Mastercraftsman and half-brother to Traffic Jam, a good stayer in France. Yard can pop one in at a big price but he looks one for the future judged on pedigree.
42,000 gns colt by Canford Cliffs and related to a minor winner in Italy. Looks highly tried on his debut.
850,000 gns colt by Dubawi and half-brother to multiple winners including the useful Silk Sari who was effective from 1m4f-1m6f. Yard's youngsters have looked backward of late and he has a pedigree that suggests he will be one for next year.
Took a step backward at Brighton on a soft surface. Flatter track may help but form leaves him with a lot to find at this level.

Forecasts
First Eleven (10/3), Airmax (10/3), Mandalayan (4/1), Kasbaan (6/1), Extra Elusive (7/1), Sharja Silk (8/1), Imperial Red (11/1), Unbridled Spirit (14/1), Oskemen (16/1), Allied (20/1), Mapped (33/1), Fenisa's Hook (33/1), Phoenician Star (33/1), Rocky Shores (40/1), Chaparral Prince (40/1)
Those to have raced have done little to set the pulse racing and it remains to be seen if Mandalayan can build on debut promise in a race which is already taking knocks. Kasbaan represents a yard having a mixed period of results in this division in recent weeks, but he appeals on his pedigree as does Sharja Silk who was an expensive purchase. Allied may prove backward like so many from this stable recently . In contrast Roger Charlton has his youngsters in excellent order and as such EXTRA ELUSIVE is a speculative pick.
- Extra Elusive
- Sharja Silk
- Kasbaan
