Intricacy²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Coakley| T: S & E Crisford

8/13

€750,000 Dubawi colt who was a promising second of 11 in a C&D novice event on debut 24 days ago, running green and headed close home. More to come and holds leading claims.

Form: 2

Lancillotto⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Hills

100/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 48 days ago, doing well to finish as close as he did having hung badly right early. Looks one for handicaps.

Form: 095

9/1

Foaled April 4. €110,000 yearling, Roaring Lion colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1¼m/10.5f winner Sejo and winner up to 1¼m Amazonie, both useful and in France.

Forecasts

Intricacy (8/13), First Sight (9/4), Mohatu (5/1), Tajawal (13/2), Roaring Legend (9/1), Adwan (10/1), Imperial Ace (16/1), Aclaimed Art (28/1), I'm Too Tired (40/1), Lancillotto (100/1)

An interesting novice for the time of year with the vote in favour of INTRICACY. He shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on debut in a C&D event 24 days ago and, with progress anticipated, he can come out on top. First Sight is a most appealing newcomer representing the leading Charlie Appleby stable and market support for him would look significant.
