Rich Belief²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: J D Bethell

9/2

Make Believe colt, cost €40,000 as a foal and 38,000 gns as a yearling. Missed the break and never a factor on last month's Ripon debut and will need further in time. Remains best watched.

Form: 5

(4)

Rebel Redemption

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

8/1

Son of Lethal Force and a first foal out of a 7f winner. Fetched 25,000 gns as a foal increasing to 32,000 gns as a yearling. Stable in very good form and among the juvenile winners. Worth a check in the market on debut.

Form:

(10)

Governor Of Punjab

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston

6/4

Footstepsinthesand colt cost €30,000 as a foal and €27,000 as a yearling. A tenth foal and a half-brother to six winners. Represents a leading and in form trainer of juveniles on debut and a likely contender.

Form:

(8)

Castlehill Retreat¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam

11/2

Casamento colt who cost £16,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to three winners. Slowly away and despite greenness on last month's debut, he made some eye-catching late progress over 5f to finish third. Only likely to improve.

Form: 3

(9)

Ardenlee Star

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey

9/1

Son of Elusive Quality cost €13,000 as a yearling and a second foal. Plenty of stamina in pedigree and likely to improve over a fair bit further in time but worth a check in the market on debut for a leading stable.

Form:

(7)

Newsical

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford

66/1

Son of Music Master gelded ahead of this debut. Plenty of speed on dam's side who was a juvenile winner. Stable not noted at all for juvenile winners so likely one to watch for now.

Form:

(1)

Pentewan

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: S H James| T: Phillip Makin

10/1

Daughter of Havana Gold fetched £32,000 as a juvenile; second foal and a half-sister to Italian 7f juvenile winner Tanaya. Dam was a juvenile 6f winner and lots of speed in pedigree. Stable yet to have a two-year-old winner.

Form:

(3)

Tiltilys Rock

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: A Elliott| T: A Crook

66/1

Society Rock colt was a £8,000 purchase as a juvenile; sixth foal; half-brother to four winners including German Listed winner Swift Approval. Stable not noted for juvenile winners so probably best watched on debut.

Form:

(6)

Harry Love

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears

18/1

Lawman gelding out of an unraced dam. Refused to enter the stalls and withdrawn on last month's intended Redcar debut. Stable's runners improve with time so easy to overlook for now.

Form:

(5)

Kayewhykelly

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho

14/1

Daughter of Dragon Pulse cost €8,000 as a yearling. Stable amongst the winners but bred to need a fair bit further in time so others more likely on debut.

Forecasts

Governor Of Punjab (6/4), Rich Belief (9/2), Castlehill Retreat (11/2), Rebel Redemption (8/1), Ardenlee Star (9/1), Pentewan (10/1), Kayewhykelly (14/1), Harry Love (18/1), Tiltilys Rock (66/1), Newsical (66/1)

CASTLEHILL RETREAT was very much in need of the run on debut, so despite everything he did it wrong it was a run full of promise and he sets a good standard from the two contenders with a run. The market will likely provide a good guide with the newcomers but Governor Of Punjab and Rebel Redemption look the pick on paper.
