Berkshire Blue

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: A M Balding

25/1

Champs Elysees colt, cost €50,000 as a foal and 58,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a winner and dam was a half-sister to a Listed winner. Yard can ready one for debut and do well here. Not ruled out.

Crystal King²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: Sir Michael Stoute

2/1

Frankel colt, half-brother to four winners, four of which have won at pattern level including Group 1 company. Dam a Listed winner. Improved from debut to finish sixth in what looks a hot maiden at Newmarket last time. Not discounted up in trip.

Form: 06

(7)

Endean

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: W R Muir

50/1

Doncaster Rover gelding, dam has more of a NH pedigree. Likely to want further than this and may need the run on debut.

Great Beyond³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton

5/2

Dansili colt, half-brother to a useful winner and dam a winner over a similar trip and half-sister to two Group 1 winners. Improved from a promising debut to finish fourth of seven at Thirsk last time when not beaten far. May need more here though.

Form: 8-4

(10)

Mobham

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: D M Simcock

33/1

Teofilo colt, cost 60,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to three winners including a Group 3 winner and dam a half-sister to dual Group 1 winner Grand Lodge. Makes plenty of appeal on paper but yard's debutantes can need the run.

Form:

(9)

Sarim²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne

8/1

Declaration Of War colt, cost 380,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to nine winners including Barsanti, a useful sort over this sort of trip. Looked green on debut at Bath but likely he will have learnt plenty from that.

Form: 4

(2)

Soto Sizzler²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: W J Knight

20/1

Mastercraftsman gelding, cost 55,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to six winners including a Listed winner. Dam a Listed winner over this trip. Has struggled in his two starts so far and looks one for handicaps.

Form: 05

Supernova²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock

2/1

Intello colt, cost €24,000 as a yearling and 135,000 gns as Breeze-Up purchase. Half-brother to Muthmira and dam a half-sister to a winner. Some promise on debut but didn't take a step forward from that at Chelmsford next time. Opposable on return.

Forecasts

Supernova (2/1), Crystal King (2/1), Great Beyond (5/2), Sarim (8/1), Dependable (14/1), Soto Sizzler (20/1), Berkshire Blue (25/1), Mobham (33/1), Endean (50/1), Mr Boycie Quest (66/1)

CRYSTAL KING is beautifully bred and it would be no surprise to see him take another step forward here now stepped up in trip. Great Beyond ran well last time and should be capable of better while similar can be said for Sarim who was an expensive purchase and shaped like he would come on for his debut at Bath.
