(7)

Battle Of Waterloo²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: J Ryan

10/1

Son of Big Bad Bob who failed to build on his debut when tailed off at Yarmouth. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 00

(9)

Dance To Freedom^t1³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S C Williams

20/1

Equiano colt who is a half-brother to a couple of winners on Fibresand. Did not get the best of runs on debut and not knocked about once his chance had gone. Will improve but may have too much to find.

Form: 9

(2)

Ketts Hill²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: A Carson

40/1

50/1 when cut adrift at Yarmouth on debut and therefore hard to fancy on the evidence of that performance.

Form: 8

(1)

Leo Davinci¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: George Scott

8/1

Artie Schiller half-brother to US Grade 3 1m1f winner Colonelsdarktemper and Russian Oaks winner S Arancha. Mid-division on Doncaster debut and noted making some late headway. One of the leading contenders if improving on that.

Form: 6

(5)

Monadante¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: G & J Moore

50/1

Kyllachy colt has missed the break on both starts and hard to judge until breaking on terms. On balance he looks up against it here.

Form: 67

(6)

No Trouble¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: J Noseda

12/1

120,000 gns colt has hardly beaten a rival in two starts. Last effort was a step in the right direction but he still has a lot to learn.

Form: 00

(4)

True Belief¹⁶²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: C Appleby

4/5

Beaten favourite on debut when green before finishing last in the Woodcote Stakes. Gelded since and best checked in the market on first run for five months.

Form: 47

(8)

Al Messila

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

8/1

125,000 gns yearling by Toronado out of a top-class sprint mare. Related to a couple of winners and not highly tried on debut.

Form:

(3)

Dubai Luxury

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: George Wood| T: S bin Suroor

5/2

Teofilo half-sister to an AW winner. Yard 10-31 with juveniles here since 2014 so very much one to note in early trading.

Forecasts

True Belief (4/5), Dubai Luxury (5/2), Al Messila (8/1), Leo Davinci (8/1), Battle Of Waterloo (10/1), No Trouble (12/1), Dance To Freedom (20/1), Ketts Hill (40/1), Monadante (50/1)

It usually pays to follow Godolphin juveniles around here so the market should be informative regarding the prospects of TRUE BELIEF and Dubai Luxury. The selection makes more appeal on pedigree and this represents a drop in class. He has looked green on his two previous starts and a gelding operation suggests there may have been a physical problem. Leo Davinci looks a danger given the promise shown on debut and Al Messila has a nice pedigree but a wide draw may not be helpful.
