Ceilidh King

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: H Morrison

18/1

Foaled January 11. Highland Reel colt. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Queen's Grace out of smart winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner) Palace Affair. Market should prove a useful guide ahead of debut.

Diamond Dreamer¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

12/1

Oasis Dream colt who showed clear signs of ability at the second attempt when sixth in 16-runner Newbury maiden (6.5f, heavy) 15 days ago, tiring late on. In good hands and he rates the type to do better again.

Form: 86

(8)

Ferrous¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: M R Channon

13/8

Foaled April 29. 35,000 gns yearling, Dark Angel colt. Easy to back (sent off at 40/1) but offered something to work on when keeping on gradually for third in 10-runner Windsor novice (5f) 3 weeks ago. One to consider with prospect of more to come.

Form: 3

(1)

Khangai⁷⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M G Rimell

33/1

Cost plenty as a yearling but displayed only greenness when eleventh of 12 in 7f newcomers' event at Sandown in August. Changed hands for 4,500 gns thereafter and he's likely best watched here.

Form: 0

(10)

Mikka

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw

50/1

Foaled March 17. Expert Eye gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 6f-1¼m winner Don't Be and winner up to 6f Star Citizen. Dam 2-y-o 4.5f/5.5f winner. Likely outsider on racecourse bow.

Form:

(2)

Perfect Gentleman⁶⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: George Scott

14/1

Dawn Approach gelding. 12/1, sixth of 8 in novice event at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on debut 69 days ago, outpaced halfway and plugging on. Bred to be suited by longer trips so probably one for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 6

(6)

Tasever¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

7/1

Tasleet colt who proved very green on debut at York but took a marked step forward when fourth in 12-runner novice at Redcar (6f, soft) 12 days ago. May well be up to featuring here with a repeat.

Form: 94

(4)

Uncle³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon

10/3

Harry Angel colt. Shaped well without being given a hard time on debut at Newbury (7f) in September and possible 1m stretched him at this stage when weakening into sixth in a Salisbury novice (1m) later that month. Back in trip now.

Form: 56

(3)

Cahore Retreat³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: P D Evans

100/1

Displayed ability when fifth of 7 in novice event at Chepstow (6.1f) on debut in September but well below that level at Salisbury (7f) thereafter and handicaps entitled to be more her bag in due course.

Form: 50

(7)

Nine Tenths

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: W J Haggas

5/1

Foaled May 2. 300,000 gns yearling, Kodiac sister to winner in Spain. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to very smart 5f/6f winner Sceptical out of smart 2-y-o 4.5f/5f winner Jealous Again (won Queen Mary Stakes). Makes plenty of appeal on paper and well worthy of note on debut.

Form:

Forecasts

Ferrous (13/8), Uncle (10/3), Nine Tenths (5/1), Tasever (7/1), Diamond Dreamer (12/1), Perfect Gentleman (14/1), Ceilidh King (18/1), Khangai (33/1), Mikka (50/1), Cahore Retreat (100/1)

Those with experience don't set a tall standard and with that in mind it could be worth siding with NINE TENTHS. Representing a powerful stable/making plenty of appeal on paper, she's out of a mare who tasted success on heavy ground and it would come as no surprise to see a bold showing. Ferrous shaped with encouragement on debut at Windsor and can figure, along with Tasever and Diamond Dreamer.
