Newcomer by Sea The Moon closely related to 1m2f-1m3f Listed winner All At Sea and half-brother to five more winners out of a Group One winning dam. Excellent pedigree for top connections so every chance he's high class.
1,500,000gns son of Dubawi out of Arc/King George heroine Danedream. Easy to back and too keen when sixth in a C&D maiden earlier in the month but no surprise if he makes big improvement given exceptional pedigree.
475,000gns son of Frankel was beaten 4L into fourth of 12 on debut at Salisbury over 1m. Plenty of promise in that effort but bred to appreciate good bit further so suspect next year will be when he excels.
Son of Australia who attracted market support when fifth of 7 to subsequent Group One winner Royal Marine in 7f maiden at Doncaster last month. Clearly thought capable of better, and should improve over this trip.
Champs Elysees gelding is a half-brother to five winners from 5f-7f and showed ability on debut here when beaten 9L into ninth of 18 over 1m where he did his best work late on. More to come but lot more needed.
€325,000 yearling by Shamardal is a brother to Group Two winner Bow Creek who won at two. Half-brother to three other smart winners so very well bred but far from alone in that regard here and trainer's two-year-olds tend to need first race.
Bargain basement buy at 1,000gns compared to some of these but ran well on debut when second of 12 at Doncaster (beaten 4L) before finishing third of six at Haydock. Has ability but this a tall order.
Beaten 8L into sixth of 10 on debut at Nottingham (1m½f) where she couldn't land a blow after a slow start. Better for the experience but probably one for middle distances next year.
We'll beaten in both starts here over 7f and never really got involved in either. Bred to stay and looks one for next year although will have to switch yards with her trainer soon to retire.
Forecasts
Faylaq (9/4), Ginistrelli (5/2), James Park Woods (3/1), Monsieur Lambrays (11/1), Summer Moon (12/1), Alignak (16/1), Sawasdee (20/1), Hidden Pearl (25/1), Swansdown (50/1)
It may pay to chance the debutant ALIGNAK the latest progeny of top class race and broodmare Albanova who has thrown six winners already, three of them at pattern level including this colt's ¾ brother. Equally well bred is Faylaq, a son of five-time Group One winning mare Danedream and this colt can surely better his midfield debut here. James Park Woods bumped into a Group One winner first time up but was backed as if well regarded and he should also go well here.
