Slowly away, and failed to beat a single rival in two starts (5f-6f) in late 2018; absent since (609 days); can hold no conceivable chance on that basis.
Siyouni gelding (100,000gns vendor yearling); first foal from the 1m AW winner Dreamlike; mildly interesting to see how he figures in the market exchanges.
Muhaarar colt; essentially disappointing on the track to date; drops back in trip for his third start this calendar month; is clearly one of the lesser lights in the Oppenheimer silks.
Gleneagles colt (€160,000 yearling) with plenty of experience, and an official BHA rating in the mid 80's; finished runner-up for the third time in his career when a beaten odds-on favourite in an Ayr maiden (7f, good) 15 days ago.
€15,000 yearling; fourth foal from the 6f juvenile scorer Attracted To You; half-brother to two winners - War Glory (7f-1m, AW) & Restore (1m½f, Italy).
Elzaam filly (€7,500 yearling); second foal from the late developing mare Spavento (1m-1m1f); can be expected to need this initial introduction to racing.
Lawman filly (21,000gns yearling); dam was a once-raced half-sister to the US Gr2 winner Cowboy Cal (1m-1m1f); in safe hands with James Tate, and one to monitor closely in the market exchanges.
Lope De Vega filly from the Grp 3 winning juvenile Wonderfully (6f-7f); made a reasonably promising start to her racing career when finishing 6¼L third to First Kingdom at Haydock (1m, soft) 25 days ago - fifth-placed Shouldering a winner since.
Mastercraftsman filly (25,000gns yearling); raced keenly in front until weak at the finish (from the two furlong pole) over 1m4f here (good) six weeks ago; the drop back in trip appears to be a wholly logical next step.
Forecasts
Glen Force (10/11), Wondrous Words (5/4), Crown Court (12/1), Bonneval (16/1), Divine Consent (25/1), Profit In Peace (33/1), Wether Fell (80/1), Aoife's Joy (80/1), Wrightia (150/1), Havana Bay (250/1)
The market exchanges could yield potential clues as to exactly what can be expected from the newcomers Bonneval (James Fanshawe) and Crown Court (James Tate), but both Glen Force and WONDROUS WORDS have a respectable level of form in the book. The former has an official rating in the mid 80's, so ought to be capable of winning a race of this nature, but the promise of an easy racing surface (over 1m) serves to swing things narrowly in the favour of the Roger Varian-trained runner.
