Al Qudra¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: M Barzalona| T: C Appleby

9/2

Was the bigger-priced of his stable's duo but shaped well on debut when fourth in minor event at this C&D (good, 9/2) in April, keeping on without being knocked about. Has a bit to find with The Actor from last time, but he's open to progress.

Foaled March 1. 58,000 gns foal, 120,000 gns yearling, Without Parole colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Spenny's Lass and useful 7f-1m winner Mubtasimah. Market could be informative as yard's first 2-y-o runner of the season.

2/1

Foaled February 9. 250,000 gns foal, 600,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to very smart 5f-6f winner Dragon Symbol and useful winner up to 7f Celtic Champion. Dam 1¼m winner. Noteworthy newcomer for last year's winning connections.

The Actor¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

11/4

Showed plenty of promise amidst greenness when second of 6 in minor event at this C&D (good) on debut 19 days ago, staying on well. Can take a step forward from that first experience to open his account.

Form: 2

Tropical Storm¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

6/1

An athletic sort and shaped encouragingly without given a hard time when fifth of 8 in newcomers race at Newbury (5.2f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Likely to improve with that first outing behind him.

Form: 5

(4)

Yaroogh

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

10/1

Foaled February 15. Dubawi colt. Dam, 7f winner, closely related to smart 7f-1m winner Quddwah out of very smart 1m-10.4f winner Sajjhaa. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Forecasts

Symbol Of Honour (2/1), The Actor (11/4), Al Qudra (9/2), Tropical Storm (6/1), Yaroogh (10/1), Mr Chaplin (16/1), Saxonia (33/1)

THE ACTOR produced a very promising first effort when narrowly denied over C&D last month and, with his trainer having won 2 of the last 4 renewals of this race, he is taken to go one better this time around. He can confirm the placings with Al Qudra from when the pair met here 19 days ago, while Symbol of Honour is one to note on debut.
