Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden

5/1

Newcomer by Intello is the first foal out of a useful 1m4f winner from a decent family at around 1m. Should stay and represents a top yard who do very well with two-year-olds so fully expectant of a strong showing.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: George Downing| T: M R Channon

33/1

Debutant by St Leger winner Sixties Icon is a brother to 6f-7f winner Juventas and is half-brother to three winners including a hurdles scorer out of a dam who won over hurdles and fences. Likelihood that others are more forward.

66/1

Alhebayeb half-brother to 1m winner History Writer out of an Italian maiden half-sister to smart 1m4f pair Sub Rose and Astonishing. Yard only had two two-year old runners, both unplaced.

L'Un Deux Trois¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M L W Bell

16/1

€50,000 Mastercraftsman newcomer is a half-brother to a 1m3f-1m5f winner out of a 1m6f placed dam. Couldn't get involved in warm 7f maiden on debut but sure to appreciate further so expecting much better now.

Form: 9

Pablo Escobarr^t1²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: W J Haggas| OR: 92

4/7

Well bred, expensive Galileo colt ran really well here over 1m latest on stable debut when headed late on by a Godolphin colt with decent form prior. Should stay the extra 2f and given connections he looks the one they all have to beat.

Form: 242

Prince Llyr¹²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: H Main

100/1

Couldn't get involved in sprint maidens at Newbury and Leicester back in the Spring. Dramatically upped in trip now and been gelded but pedigree doesn't scream stamina.

Form: 89

(8)

Slade King²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore

25/1

Stepped up on debut when third of six over 1m½f at Epsom latest where he never really threatened but stayed on late after being outpaced. Longer trip will be beneficial but this is a warmer contest. Each-way potential.

Form: 73

The Olympian⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M Harley| T: A King

4/1

Stoutly bred Olympic Glory gelding stayed on in taking fashion for a never nearer second at Windsor over 1m. Third that day won twice since so form looks solid and has to be considered a leading contender here.

Form: 2

(12)

The Pink'n

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: J W Mullins

100/1

Newcomer by Melbourne Cup winner Dunaden is a half-brother to a 2m hurdle winner out of a 1m2f winner from a jumping family. Yard more known for jumpers and not had two-year-old success in last five years.

Form:

(11)

Vexed

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock

8/1

115,000gns yearling by Charm Spirit is half-brother to six winners, most notably smart 1m7½f Group Two winner Kite Wood. Trainer has his two-year-olds in good order including debutants so market check advised.

Form:

Crystal Tiara¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M R Channon

100/1

Very stoutly bred Gregorian filly hasn't landed a blow in 1m maidens at Thirsk and Carlisle. Longer trip will suit although likelihood is that she needs farther still. Has experience on heavy ground.

Form: 56

Forecasts

Pablo Escobarr (4/7), The Olympian (4/1), Alramz (5/1), Vexed (8/1), L'Un Deux Trois (16/1), Slade King (25/1), Earl Of Harrow (33/1), Edmond Dantes (66/1), Universal Song (66/1), Prince Llyr (100/1), The Pink'n (100/1), Crystal Tiara (100/1)

Former Mark Johnston inmate PABLO ESCOBARR ran well on his debut for this yard when narrowly beaten by a Charlie Appleby horse who had gone close in similar contest twice previously. He ought to appreciate the step up in trip and has the best form on offer overall. The Olympian represents the big danger on form having run on really well on debut behind a comfortable winner, the extra 2f is sure to benefit him. Of the newcomers Alramz makes the most appeal for the all-conquering John Gosden yard.
