1/2

Promising type. Second of 12 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to soft, 5/6) on debut 17 days ago. Winner that day looks a cracking prospect (followed up nicely at Ripon on Monday) and he'll improve.

Form: 2

5/1

Foaled February 13. Siyouni gelding. Dam, lightly raced in France, half-sister to useful French/US 8.5f (minor US stakes)/9f winner Lafta. Yard can ready a newcomer and worth a second look.

Forecasts

Fivethousandtoone (1/2), Numoor (5/1), Blackrod (6/1), High Security (15/2), Fighter Pilot (12/1), Thapa VC (25/1), Emaness (33/1), Mezna (66/1), Stamford Bridge (100/1), Lily's Gift (200/1)

FIVETHOUSANDTOONE made lots of appeal on paper ahead of his debut at Windsor when backed off the boards and showed plenty behind a really good prospect who followed up at Ripon on Monday. He'll improve and can make it second time lucky. Newcomer Fighter Pilot is interesting on paper and along with High Security is feared most.
