Son of Dansili who is a brother to a 1m winner. Dam won the Irish Oaks and is a sister to the top-class Nathaniel. Winning debut at Wolverhampton in November and although this is tougher, he is entered in the Derby and is clearly a decent prospect.
Dubawi colt who is a brother to 1m4f winner Appeared. Promising second of 15 on debut at Newbury in the autumn. Stable in good form and this Derby entrant has to go on the short list.
Galileo colt who cost 350,000 gns as a yearling and is from the family of the top-class Midday and Reams Of Verse. Fine pedigree and an interesting newcomer from a powerful stable.
Nathaniel colt whose price rose from 32,000 gns as a yearling to 115,000 gns as a two-year-old. Slowly away when never-nearer third of eight on debut at Newbury and should improve.
Champs Elysees filly who cost only 4,000 gns as a foal. No show on debut at Doncaster last month and looks a long-term prospect.
Forecasts
Apparate (4/7), Great Bear (7/2), Make My Day (4/1), Severance (6/1), Nordano (20/1), Tidal Point (100/1), Ozark (100/1), Soft Summer Rain (125/1), Moor Top (125/1)
Severance shaped well on debut at Newbury and should improve, while Make My Day is a choicely-bred and interesting newcomer from a top stable. However, this may be fought out by Derby entrants Great Bear and APPARATE, with marginal reference for the latter in receipt of 6lb.
