Lesrico⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: L Williamson

200/1

Steele Tango gelding. Showed ability when fourth of 6 in novice event at Newcastle (1m) in March, staying on final 1f. Longer trip should suit here and he may do better but handicaps likely to be more his bag.

Form: 4

(5)

The Glen Rovers¹⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: L Wadham

22/1

Dark Angel gelding who showed plenty of ability when second of 14 in a Lingfield bumper (2m) on sole start for T. J. Kent in November, collared dying strides. Should have a future in this sphere on that evidence.

French Mistress^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: K P De Foy

28/1

Kingman filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner French Polish and smart 1m-1¼m winner Mohaafeth. Dam won both her starts at 1¼m/10.4f winner (likely to have stayed 1½m). Wears hood and interesting where she figures in the market on debut.

(12)

Las Ramblas¹⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: James Doyle| T: R Varian

3/1

250,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Well backed, made the perfect start when landing 11-runner Newcastle novice (1m) in February, coming from further back to run down one boasting experience. In excellent hands and sure to be suited by this step up to 1¼m. Player.

Form: 1

Niigata¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: S & E Crisford| D

15/8

85,000 gns yearling, Showcasing colt. Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 8-runner Chelmsford novice (10f) 3 weeks ago. Good chance he will have derived plenty from that effort and claims with progress anticipated.

Form: 1

(6)

Leicester Square

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

7/1

160,000 gns yearling, Masar gelding. Closely related to 11f winner Shazia and half-brother to several winners, including 9.5f/1¼m winner Shalamba and 11f-15f winner Shalakar, both useful. Dam French 1¼m/10.5f winner, won Prix de l'Opera. Interesting newcomer.

(10)

More Thunder²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Sir Michael Stoute

9/2

€270,000 yearling, Night of Thunder colt. 7/2, looked green and unable to get competitive when fifth of 9 in maiden at Windsor (10f, good to soft) on debut 22 days ago. In excellent hands though, so highly surprising were he not capable of better.

Form: 5

(9)

Nogradi

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: K A Ryan

33/1

$135,000 yearling, American Pharoah colt. Dam, 8.5f/9f winner in US (including Grade 1 QEII Challenge Cup), half-sister to smart US 7f-9f winner Liveyourbeastlife (Grade 2 runner-up on dirt). Interesting if the market speaks in his favour on racecourse bow.

Form:

(3)

Saji⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden

16/1

Invincible Spirit colt who was easy to back and looked badly in need of the experience when last of 11 in maiden at Kempton (1m) on debut 48 days ago. This should reveal more now stamina is tested further.

Form: 0

(11)

Sydney Seabreeze

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods

50/1

€125,000 yearling, Cloth of Stars colt. Half-brother to smart French 1m/9f winner Galova. Dam, placed at 7.5f-9f in France, half-sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Nicaron.

Form:

Anglepoise¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett

18/1

Zoustar filly who showed benefit of Kempton debut experience when third of 11 in a Windsor novice (1m, heavy) 2 weeks ago, no extra only last ½f. Well bred and in good hands, so very much the type to progress further.

Form: 93

(8)

Implacable¹⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A King

33/1

Churchill filly. Friendless in betting but displayed definite signs of ability when fifth of 11 in Wolverhampton novice (8.6f) back in November, progress home turn without being knocked about. Capable of better but handicaps could be more her thing in due course.

Form: 5-

Forecasts

Niigata (15/8), Las Ramblas (3/1), More Thunder (9/2), Leicester Square (7/1), Saji (16/1), Anglepoise (18/1), The Glen Rovers (22/1), French Mistress (28/1), Implacable (33/1), Nogradi (33/1), Sydney Seabreeze (50/1), Lesrico (200/1)

LAS RAMBLAS makes loads of appeal on paper and justified good support to make a winning debut at Newcastle in February, coming from further back to run down one boasting previous experience. Very much the type to improve, including now tackling this longer trip, he earns the vote on turf debut. Fellow debut winner Niigata for the Crisford yard is another to consider. Newcomer Leicester Square is worth keeping an eye on, with Anglepoise also expected to do better again.
