33/1

Foaled February 16. Closely related to useful 10.3f/11f winner Princesse Mathilde and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 9f/1¼m winner Panstarr. Market move would be interesting.

Testing Faith

20/1

Foaled April 8. Dam French maiden out of useful 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 1¼m) Nell Gwyn, sister to Rock of Gibraltar. Eye-catching pedigree but already gelded and suspect he'll come on for the run.

25/1

Brother to 1¼m winner Banksy's Art. Ran to just a modest level when sixth of 8 in maiden (100/1) at Goodwood (8f, good to firm) on debut 16 days ago. Lot more needed.

(12)

Marquis Of York²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

17/2

Half-brother to 11f winner Viceregent for connections. Better for debut when fourth of 13 in novice at Thirsk (8f, good, 16/1) 27 days ago. Can progress further and is one to consider.

Form: 64

50/1

Foaled January 25. 7,500 gns yearling, Sir Percy gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Thrave. Gelded and suspect he'll be one for the longer term.

Wakey Wakey¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

5/6

Not knocked about on debut at Thirsk (1m) and much shorter in the betting when improving on that and a good second back there over 7f last week, prominent and taking keen hold. Can do better again.

Form: 62

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott

5/1

Foaled February 15. 28,000 gns yearling. Half-sister to 7f winner Olive Mabel. Dam, French 2-y-o 9f winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m winner Shamkiyr. Probably one for the longer term.

Forecasts

Wakey Wakey (5/6), Themoonsaballoon (5/1), Marquis Of York (17/2), Approachability (10/1), Lituus (12/1), Testing Faith (20/1), Total Master (20/1), Graffiti (25/1), Prince Achille (33/1), Night Street (50/1), Easy With Aces (66/1), Gibside (80/1)

WAKEY WAKEY wasn't unfancied in the betting when second at Thirsk last week, taking a big step forward from his debut run there. His effort can be marked up given he raced freely and he makes plenty of appeal over this stiffer trip. Marquis of York can improve again also and is respected, while Approachability looks the pick of the newcomers on paper.
