11/4

50,000 gns foal, €82,000 yearling, €100,000 2-y-o, Oasis Dream colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 7f Deep Intrigue and 7f winner Lamorna Cove. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Yard capable of readying a newcomer.

No More Heroes

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey

12/1

50,000 gns yearling, Ardad gelding. Half-brother to 5f winners Warrior's Valley and Mendamay. Dam, maiden (raced only at 5f), sister to very smart winner up to 7f Finjaan. One to consider with yard amongst the winners.

Form:

(7)

Someone's Wish¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan| T: R Eddery

150/1

Badly in need of experience when sixth of 7 in maiden (100/1) at this course (6f, good to firm) on debut 18 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 6

(3)

Canaria Queen³⁷

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

40/1

Stepped up on debut form when third of 6 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, soft, 80/1) 37 days ago, rallying over 1f out. Needs to find more again.

Form: 73

(6)

Corellian Star⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: A Watson

18/1

The sole newcomer and showed some encouragement when third of 8 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, soft, 22/1) 8 days ago, though 5 lengths behind stablemate Flying Kiss. Likely to improve.

Form: 3

(1)

Flying Kiss⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 69

5/4

Progressed again when second of 8 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, soft, 5/1) 8 days ago, clear of rest. Can go one better with further improvement to come.

Form: 322

(2)

Hallrose

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Fellowes

40/1

800 gns foal, Tasleet filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Simply Gorgeous. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Muharrib. May just be better for her first outing.

Form:

(8)

Mezon

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: G Boughey

10/1

£43,000 yearling, Caravaggio filly. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to useful 11f winner Semester out of very smart 7f-1¼m (Nassau Stakes) winner Favourable Terms. Watch for market clues.

Form:

(4)

Tuki Tuki³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: H Morrison

4/1

Again proved a handful before the race, but improved from debut when third of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, good to firm, 9/1) 32 days ago, leading until final 1f. Can get involved once more dropped in trip.

Form: 33

Forecasts

Flying Kiss (5/4), Alexi Boy (11/4), Tuki Tuki (4/1), Mezon (10/1), No More Heroes (12/1), Corellian Star (18/1), Canaria Queen (40/1), Hallrose (40/1), Someone's Wish (150/1)

FLYING KISS has been getting the hang of things, edged out only late on when second at Nottingham 8 days ago, so she looks ready to open her account with more still to come. Tuki Tuki could be the main danger dropped in trip, with Alexi Boy the pick of the newcomers.
