Qirat⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett| D

5/6

Showcasing colt who confirmed debut promise when off the mark in a Kempton novice (7f) 6 weeks ago, strong at the finish over the longer trip. In excellent hands and he's a big player once more under a penalty.

Form: 31

Finbar Furey²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox

9/2

Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and definite promise in 2 starts to date, still looking very green but keeping on in the style of one that still has more to come when third of 10 in novice at Haydock (6f) 4 weeks ago. Good shout upped in trip.

Form: 23

Lennon

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Meade

10/1

Foaled March 21. 30,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot gelding. Closely related to useful US Grade 3 9f winner Demarchelier and half-brother to 9.5f/1¼m winner Loveisili and useful 1½m-1¾m winner A Star Above. Dam unraced sister to Irish 1000 Guineas winner Yesterday.

Myna

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: M P Tregoning

66/1

Foaled March 28. €38,000 yearling, Make Believe gelding. Dam 1½m winner. Yard 3-19 with their juveniles on turf so far this term and the betting may well prove informative on debut.

Point Given⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute

15/2

Half-brother to high-class Toormore and he shaped very well when fourth on debut at Doncaster (6f) in July, noted finishing with running left. Caught wide and not seen to best effect when filling same spot at Pontefract (6f) a month later and highly likely he remains capable of better.

Form: 44

(8)

Solar Power⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: George Rooke| T: R A Teal

100/1

Exceed And Excel colt. 50/1, showed a bit when fifth in a C&D novice on debut in July but took a backward step when seventh behind Qirat in novice event at Kempton (7f) 6 weeks ago. Good chance nurseries will be more his bag.

Form: 57

(2)

Inversion

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton

11/2

Foaled March 27. Frankel filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Lucid Dreamer and smart 7f-9f winner Whitebeam. Dam, 5.7f/6f winner, half-sister to high-class St Leger winner Logician. Yard have done particularly well with this family and she's one to note on debut.

Secret Satire

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

22/1

Foaled April 7. Advertise filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 11.4f-1¾m winner Secret Shadow and 2-y-o 7f winner Secret Solace. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner. Another worth monitoring in the betting for clues ahead of debut.

Forecasts

Qirat (5/6), Finbar Furey (9/2), Inversion (11/2), Point Given (15/2), Lennon (10/1), No Nay Sul (16/1), Secret Satire (22/1), Myna (66/1), Solar Power (100/1)

QIRAT fully confirmed debut promise when running out an impressive winner of a Kempton novice 6 weeks ago and, with the prospect of more to come from Ralph Beckett's well-bred colt, he's fancied to defy a penalty and score again. Finbar Furey is going the right way and is a danger tackling 7f for the first time, along with Point Given. Inversion may emerge best of the newcomers.
