Selected odds by:

(5)

Great Fengshui

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: F Sweeney| T: R Hannon

33/1

Anjaal half-brother to useful 2-y-o 5f-7f winner Shawaahid and 2-y-o 6f winner Shania Says. Trainer 2-9 with juvenile newcomers here this season, and merits respect.

Form:

(4)

Hermano Bello¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Fahy| T: R Hannon

40/1

Youmzain colt who cost £40,000 as a yearling. Unfancied and green when well held on Ascot debut, and would appear to be yard's second string here on riding arrangements.

Form: 8

(9)

Honore Daumier

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: H Candy

40/1

Lawman half-brother to yard's useful 2-y-o 7f winner Thrave and 1¼m winner Seascape. Holds a Derby entry, but yard without a debutant 2-y-o winner in over a year, however.

Form:

(2)

Jacksonian

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett

4/1

Frankel half-brother to smart 1m-1m2½f winner Jet Away and 1m3f winner Checkpoint. Yard has a 30% record with 2-y-o debutants here since last summer, and this well-bred colt is shortlisted accordingly.

Form:

(3)

Johan

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Jones| T: W J Haggas

16/1

Zoffany half-brother to 1m/1m½f winner Why We Dream. In excellent hands, but yard has a surprisingly poor record with newcomers at this track (3-62 in last 5 years), which tempers confidence.

Form:

(7)

Master Rocco

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

33/1

Dawn Approach colt out of an unraced half-sister to G2 1½m winner Mouramara. Makes only a little appeal on pedigree despite a Derby entry, and yard is just 1-27 with juvenile debutants in recent years.

Form:

(1)

Military March

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hector Crouch| T: S bin Suroor

5/1

Full-brother to smart handicapper Clongowes out of Yorkshire Oaks winner Punctilious. Yard 2-18 with 2-y-o debutants here this year, and this colt appeals more than most on breeding.

Form:

(6)

Ursa Minor²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden

4/5

240,000 gns full-brother to useful 1¼m winner Lascar, and half-brother to other winners. Stayed on well after a slow start when second on debut over C&D, and sets the standard, with improvement highly likely.

Form: 2

(8)

Visibility

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Meade

9/1

Raven's Pass colt out of an unraced mare. and didn't break the bank at €27,000. Yard has a decent record with newcomers, though, so needs a market check.

Form:

Forecasts

Ursa Minor (4/5), Jacksonian (4/1), Military March (5/1), Visibility (9/1), Johan (16/1), Great Fengshui (33/1), Master Rocco (33/1), Hermano Bello (40/1), Honore Daumier (40/1)

URSA MINOR needed the experience here on debut, but ended up shaping extremely well in finishing second. It will take a smart newcomer to lower his colours, although both Military March and Jacksonian have likeable pedigrees, and merits consideration if strong in the market.
