Beauld As Brass

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker

200/1

Foaled March 11. 2,000 gns yearling, Brazen Beau gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Attila Rex. Dam 11.5f-1¾m winner who stayed 2m out of 1m-1¼m winner Bonne Etoile. Probably best watched on debut.

Bresson²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden

5/4

Shaped well when third on debut over 6.5f here in May, and again when just touched off by Victory Dance (close second in Group 2 company since) upped to 7f at Newmarket (good). Sets a good standard for the others to aim at.

Form: 32

Captain Cuddles¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

16/1

Wasn't beaten far when fifth in a 10-runner Sandown novice (7f, good) on debut a fortnight ago. Perhaps lacks the long-term scope of several of these, but live each-way chance if able to build on that effort here. Yard also saddles Classic.

Form: 5

Classic

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

7/2

Foaled March 31. 260,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to smart winner up to 1¼m Beautiful Morning and useful 1¼m winner La Gloire. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 11.5f. Well worth a second look in the betting, albeit Captain Cuddles is presumably the stable No 1.

Dancing Magic²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: R A Teal

33/1

Displayed plenty of ability first time out when fourth of 10 at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last month, beaten around a length. On that evidence there are certainly races to be won with this colt, but it's over middle distances next year that he's likely to really flourish.

Form: 4

(9)

Dawn Vega

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A King

33/1

Foaled February 14. 160,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 9.5f winner Ebony and 2-y-o 7f winner Encipher, both useful. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run, but a peak in the betting is advised all the same.

Form:

(1)

Dream Of Mischief¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett

50/1

From a family his yard knows well and there were positives to take from his recent debut here (6f, good), finishing in mid-field but he wasn't knocked about and is sure to improve for the experience and this step up in trip.

Form: 7

(2)

Forest Demon²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler

150/1

Beat just one rival home on his introduction in a 10-runner Salisbury maiden, finishing almost seven lengths adrift of the re-opposing Dancing Magic. Clearly has work to do if he's to make an impact here.

Form: 9

(13)

Frequent Flyer

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding

20/1

Foaled February 10. €80,000 yearling. Dam, 8.4f-11f winner, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Masekela out of useful 10.5f-1½m winner Lady's Purse. Top yard can ready a newcomer and interesting to see what the market has to say.

Form:

(11)

Lenormand

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

7/1

Foaled February 21. 600,000 gns half-brother to smart winner up to 1¼m and Best of Days and 1¼m winner Birdcage Walk. Dam 1m-11f winner. Represents powerful connections and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant.

Form:

(14)

Redcliff Glen

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

66/1

Foaled April 23. 75,000 gns yearling. Dam, 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m, closely related to smart 2-y-o 7f winner Lucky Chappy out of useful 2-y-o 7f winner Germane. Certainly not devoid of appeal on paper, but is starting out in what looks a pretty warm contest.

Form:

(8)

Seattle Time²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: S Kirk

25/1

Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 7f Great Ambassador and useful 1m winner Seattle Rock. Kept on into fifth on debut at Salisbury (hot on the heels of fourth-placed Dancing Magic) and place possibilities here with improvement on the cards.

Form: 5

(3)

Tarjeeh²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows

7/2

Good pedigree and shaped well under considerate handling when fourth of nine in a 6f Windsor maiden last month, doing all his best work at the finish. Extra furlong here will be a big help and likely to be winning races before long.

Form: 4

(12)

Wholetthedogsout²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: P D Evans

150/1

Little impact in maidens at Lingfield and Salisbury (behind Dancing Magic and Seattle Time at the latter course) and it's hard to envisage her playing a leading role.

Form: 78

Forecasts

Bresson (5/4), Tarjeeh (7/2), Classic (7/2), Lenormand (7/1), Captain Cuddles (16/1), Frequent Flyer (20/1), Seattle Time (25/1), Dancing Magic (33/1), Dawn Vega (33/1), Dream Of Mischief (50/1), Redcliff Glen (66/1), Forest Demon (150/1), Wholetthedogsout (150/1), Beauld As Brass (200/1)

It's hard to look beyond BRESSON, who just lost out to a highly promising Godolphin colt at Newmarket last month, form which was boosted when the winner recently went close in Group 2 company. The Dubawi colt remains open to improvement and represents the yard responsible for the winners of this in 2019 and 2020, and one of the divisions last year. Tarjeeh shaped with plenty of encouragement at Windsor and is next on the list ahead of likely-looking newcomer Lenormand.
