Selected odds by:
12,500gns yearling; outpaced and charted a wide course on debut at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in April; off since and returns wearing a tongue-tie.
Half-brother to a number of winners including Mattmu (6f, Group 2); 25/1 when filling the rear-division on debut at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last week.
€30,000 foal (£6,000 juvenile); half-brother to the 1m4f winner Cape Aqraan; 20/1 when always in the rear on debut at Beverley (5f, good) last month; stablemate of Kickham Street.
€58,000 foal; half-brother to six winners including the Italian winning sprinters Love Intrigue and Cool Contest; slowly away and met trouble in running when finishing eighth of 11 on debut at Thirsk (6f, good to soft).
£48,000 juvenile (£23,000 yearling); first foal of a 7f AW/turf winner (Alzanti); interesting to see how he fares in the market on debut in relation to his marginally more experienced stablemate Here's Rocco.
€10,000 yearling; shown modest form on both starts so far (5f-6f) and others are open to more improvement.
First foal of the Group-placed 6f juvenile winner Qawaasem (a half-sister to the useful 7f-1m winner Mukalal); hooded on debut for a trainer with a 27% strike-rate (8-30) at Newcastle.
42,000gns yearling; dam a French 7f winner; offered a little promise on debut at Haydock (6f) despite a tardy start, but finished last of nine under similar conditions at Pontefract thereafter and needs to bounce back.
£30,000 juvenile; keeping on fifth of ten on his second start at Wolverhampton (6f) last month, and could sneak into the frame at a price at this stiffer track.
58,000gns yearling; closely related to the 6f AW winner Lady Atlas, but has looked short on pace so far (5f-6f AW), and is probably the type to fare better granted more time and experience.
€48,000 yearling; his dam was a 1m3f+ winner, so it's highly likely that he'll need further than this 6f trip ultimately; not shown enough (but consistent) in two 6f spins on turf.
£32,000 yearling; sixth foal; half-sister to two winners (7f-1m); possible contender on debut for a trainer who is 8-36 (22%) here on Tapeta since 2016.
Half-sister to 7f Italian winner Domestic Hearth; started 50/1 on debut at Carlisle (6f, soft) last month but finished runner-up, beaten just over 2L by Gloves Lynch; stable in-form at present.
58,000gns yearling; sister to 5f-6f winner Sign Of The Kodiac; 20/1 on debut when finishing sixth of eight at Chelmsford (6f) in August.
Forecasts
Promote (5/2), Kickham Street (7/2), Shallow Hal (5/1), Quickly Does It (5/1), Nubough (15/2), Hot Contest (12/1), Toro Dorado (20/1), Rich Approach (33/1), Here's Rocco (33/1), The Game Is On (40/1), Sister of The Sign (40/1), Grimsdyke (50/1), Ganton Eagle (66/1), Macs Blessings (100/1)
Not the kind of race for offering strong advice, and adopting more of a watching brief than anything else looks to be the safest way forward. Of the newcomers NUBOUGH and Promote are interesting, with the former (and selection) hailing from a decent family line and representing a trainer with a 27% strike-rate (8-30) at the track. Quickly Does It out-shone all reasonable market expectations on soft ground at Carlisle last month, and bids to show that was no fluke on a vastly different racing surface, whilst at a likely bigger price the slowly improving Shallow Hal could sneak a place at this more suitable galloping track.
