Mayjority

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty

100/1

Mayson gelding. Dam unraced from family of Oaks winner Reams of Verse. Yard is hardly a frequent source of winning newcomers and he's probably best watched.

Old Smoke

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey

10/1

60,000 gns foal, Caravaggio gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1¼m-1½m winner Nell Quickly and 1m winner Shaaqaaf, both useful. Dam 1m/8.3f winner. Interesting to see what the market has to say.

Razoni²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: G Boughey| BF

5/4

Promising individual. 4/6, second of 7 in minor event at this C&D 27 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Remains open to improvement and a bold show likely.

Form: 2-2

(9)

Tajdif

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C Hills

3/1

150,000 gns foal, Invincible Spirit colt. Plenty to like about this colt on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour.

Tintin Potter^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: Craig Lidster

20/1

62,000 gns yearling. Closely related to 2-y-o 5f winner Sarista and half-brother to several winners, including useful 5f winner Tahoo and winner up to 7f Asmund. Worth a peek in the betting.

Form:

(3)

United Force³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: A Watson

9/2

Once-raced maiden. Third of 11 in maiden (10/1) at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 32 days ago, nearest finish. Likely to improve with that experience to draw upon here.

Form: 3

(8)

Youm Jameel

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan

10/1

No Nay Never gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart 6f winner Hello Youmzain and smart winner up to 1¼m Royal Youmzain. Dam unraced. Will be of interest if the market vibes are upbeat.

Form:

(2)

Goldcasing²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke

28/1

Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 9/2) on debut 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip and she's probably capable of a good deal better.

Form: 4

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Razoni (5/4), Tajdif (3/1), Sparkling Spirit (7/2), United Force (9/2), Old Smoke (10/1), Youm Jameel (10/1), Tintin Potter (20/1), Goldcasing (28/1), Mayjority (100/1)

RAZONI failed to land the odds over this C&D last month but he was only just touched off (arguably unlucky not to win) and this well-bred colt remains with potential. Tajdif could be the pick of the newcomers, though Old Smoke and Youm Jameel are also pretty appealing on paper.
