Kodiac Pride¹⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| BF

9/4

Gelded son of Kodiac that fetched 100,000 gns as a yearling and sets the standard on his debut second on the AW at Lingfield in November. Very disappointing a month later at Wolverhampton when never settling. Could easily bounce back on turf debut.

Form: 25-

Maydanny

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: C & M Johnston

5/2

Impeccably-bred son of Dubawi out of Attraction cost 1,350,000 gns as a yearling and a half-brother to seven winners, most notably Elarqam and Fountain Of Youth. Rates an enormous prospect on paper ahead of this racecourse debut.

Noble Prospector³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

6/4

€27,000 foal, £75,000 yearling; ninth foal; brother to the 5f-6f winner The Daley Express. Built on promise of debut fourth when third at Thirsk over a mile, shaping as though a return to this trip should suit. Rates a likely challenger.

Form: 43

Rodney After Dave²¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nathan Evans| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife

80/1

Gelded son of Intense Focus who cost €2,000 as a foal and went unsold at £3,800 as a yearling. No impact in two Redcar runs last season, hard to make case for.

Form: 09-

(3)

Canasta⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe

7/1

Charm Spirit filly whose sales price rose to £50,000 as a juvenile. Twice raced over 7f at Kempton (AW), building on promise of debut for a staying on fifth in March. May need further in time but likely to keep on improving and prove competitive.

Form: 75

(10)

Fabulous View³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: Mrs R Carr

100/1

Intello filly has been sent off 100/1 and finished tailed-off in last in both AW starts this year. Impossible to make a case for on turf debut.

Form: 00

(9)

Lady Sebastian

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: J Ward

50/1

Daughter of Morpheus with plenty of stamina on her dam's side. Stable quiet so far this season and this looks a tough ask on debut. Likely best watched.

Form:

(1)

Nouvelli Solo

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Victor Santos⁽⁷⁾| T: L Egerton

100/1

Daughter of Coach House, a cheap purchase at £2,200 as a yearling and a half-sister to a couple of winners. Stable has had just one Flat winner this season and looks best watched on debut.

Form:

(5)

Olivia On Green⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Elliott| T: Ronald Thompson

100/1

Assertive filly; second foal out of a 1m4f-2m winner. Tried over 1m2f at Doncaster on March debut and was always out the back and finished completely tailed off. Stable quiet and this looks another tough ask.

Form: 0

Forecasts

Noble Prospector (6/4), Kodiac Pride (9/4), Maydanny (5/2), Assembled (4/1), Canasta (7/1), Lady Sebastian (50/1), Rodney After Dave (80/1), Fabulous View (100/1), Olivia On Green (100/1), Nouvelli Solo (100/1)

There's a fair amount of outsiders with little hope so it should prove worthwhile sticking to the top of the market. The beautifully-bred MAYDANNY is hard to get away from on debut, for a family his trainer knows well, and he's likely to be primed first time of asking. Kodiac Pride didn't run anywhere near his debut on his second start but given time, for a leading trainer, he should bounce back. Noble Prospector, Assembled and Canasta are the others to note.
