Danny Ocean³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

4/1

Dandy Man colt, cost €42,000 as a yearling and bred for speed. Caught wider than ideal on second start at Pontefract, which usually spells trouble. Should be more to come before long.

Form: 33

(2)

Fred

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

11/4

145,000 gns yearling Frankel colt. Will surely stay further than this in time but respected yard will have him ready and any market confidence would demand attention for well-regarded sort.

Form:

(4)

Lord Of The Lodge

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke

4/1

€35,000 yearling, Dandy Man colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m4f Forbearing. Second runner for trainer here, market should split them.

Form:

(3)

Mellad

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

3/1

Oasis Dream colt cost 140,000 gns as a yearling. Dam was a 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Law Power. Another appealing newcomer from a top yard.

Puerto Sol²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison

50/1

€6,000 yearling. Second foal. Dam unplaced 7f-1m4f, half-sister to French 1m2f Listed winner Safe And Sound. Will have to raise game considerably on what he's show at Beverley and Newcastle (AW). Goes up in trip this time.

Form: 55

(8)

Streaker

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan

9/1

Showcasing colt. Dam, 6f winner who stayed 1m, sister to smart winner up to 6f La Cucaracha. Yard in decent form and amongst interesting newcomers here.

Form:

(9)

Capelli Rossi²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: C Cannon

66/1

Cappella Sansevero filly. Half-sister to useful two-year-old 7f winner Whenindoubtsmile and 7f/1m winner Rapido Domingo. 100-1 for last month's debut in Ireland and never a threat.

Form: 0

Forecasts

Fred (11/4), Mellad (3/1), Lord Of The Lodge (4/1), Danny Ocean (4/1), Clay Regazzoni (9/1), Streaker (9/1), Puerto Sol (50/1), Star's Daughter (50/1), Capelli Rossi (66/1)

Those that have run don't set an exacting standard, with Danny Ocean perhaps the most promising of them at this point, so it will be no shock should one of the newcomers have the answer. The betting will surely be informative but FRED is respected starting out despite the trip looking shorter that may eventually prove his optimum. Lord Of The Lodge, Mellad and Streaker also make plenty appeal on paper in what could turn out a nice little race for future reference.
