Dream Desert

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M Harley| T: W J Haggas

6/1

First foal; dam Listed-placed 7f 2yo winner and a half-sister to smart 7f-1m winner Yuften. Gelded for debut tonight but yard have a 26% strike rate with their 3yos here and can ready them first time up.

Habub

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows

3/1

Not cheap at $700,000 as a yearling, related to plenty of winners in America and this surface likely to suit on debut. Yard just 2-19 with their 3yos here which tempers confidence a little, but interesting all the same.

Form:

Tamerlane

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C G Cox

6/1

Cost £80,000 as a 2yo, related to multiple AW/Fibresand winners and makes some appeal, particularly as yard are 2-8 with their 3yos here. Gelded for debut, and market likely to prove the best guide as to his chance.

Taoiseach⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Bentley| T: H Candy

17/2

Showed some ability in two starts in the spring but not enough to think he will be a threat to the principals here. Needs to have learnt how to settle better too.

Form: 5-6

Asharedmoment^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: J & S Best

66/1

Half sister to a couple of modest selling/low grade handicap winners but yard not known for first time out 3yo winners and tongue tie for debut is another concern.

Muneyra

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

1/1

Stablemate of Dream Desert, sister to Lucky Nine, three-times a Group 1 winner in Hong Kong and Singapore at sprint trips. Of obvious interest on debut and market likely to prove informative as to chances.

Forecasts

Muneyra (1/1), Habub (3/1), Tamerlane (6/1), Dream Desert (6/1), Taoiseach (17/2), Asharedmoment (66/1)

The market is going to prove informative but for the time being, MUNEYRA makes plenty of appeal, as she's related to some good sorts and is likely to be forward for this. Tamerlane should enjoy this surface and looks next best, with Habub best of the rest..
