Once-raced colt. Shaped with a little encouragement when sixth of 12 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, good, 22/1) on debut 28 days ago, weakening gradually but not unduly punished. Open to improvement.

Form: 6

Apocalyx

11/2

Foaled January 21. Calyx colt. Half-brother to 9.5f winner Point of Fact. Dam French 2-y-o 1m winner out of Prix de Diane winner Nebraska Tornado. Yard boasting a 19% strike rate with their juveniles on turf so far this term and he's a newcomer to note.

5/1

Foaled March 7. Charm Spirit colt. Half-brother to winner up to 7f Burning Emotion. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner Sea of Flames. Wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to figure on debut and he's one to note for good yard.

Simon & Ed Crisford are 4-17 with their juveniles on turf so far this term, so without the benefit of market clues PEN PORTRAIT, who makes appeal on paper, could be the way to go in a race where those with previous experience don't set a tall standard. That said, Midnite Storm deserved his Doncaster debut run marking up and he's highly likely to improve. Apocalyx and Arantes Nascimento are another couple of newcomers to note.
