Break The Bank¹⁴

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

6/1

350,000 gns yearling, Invincible Spirit colt. 18/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago, running green and never involved. In good hands and he rates a likely improver.

Form: 6

Go Daddy²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick

11/4

Promising individual. 50/1, third of 10 in minor event at Sandown (7f, heavy) on debut 23 days ago, staying on well. Likely improver with that under his belt and fancied to feature.

Form: 3

(8)

Going The Distance¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Laura Pearson| T: R M Beckett

7/2

Foaled March 6. €160,000 yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Found the penny dropping late when third of 10 in a C&D maiden 17 days ago, running green but keeping on well last ½f. Entitled to have derived plenty from that and one to consider.

Form: 3

(9)

Hand Of God

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: H & R Charlton

14/1

Foaled March 3. 145,000 gns yearling, Churchill colt. Closely related to useful 1m-11f winner Bermondsey and half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 10.5f Haggle. Interesting newcomer and the market should guide.

I Love Paris²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: E Walker

7/2

Promising sort. 9/1, third of 6 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, soft) on debut 20 days ago, in need of the experience but doing her best work late on. Sure to progress and she's one to consider.

Forecasts

Go Daddy (11/4), Going The Distance (7/2), I Love Paris (7/2), Savvy Warrior (5/1), Break The Bank (6/1), Mai Dubai (6/1), Hand Of God (14/1), Speeding Bullet (22/1), Yellow Pages (66/1), Bree Anna Poppy (150/1)

I LOVE PARIS produced a promising first effort and was noted doing very good late work when third in a Newmarket novice (7f) on debut 3 weeks ago. Sure to have derived plenty from that initial experience, she gets the nod to come out on top at the second attempt. Go Daddy similarly shaped well without being seen to best effect when filling the same spot on his respective debut at Sandown and is feared most. Going The Distance is also considered.
