Against The Wind²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| BF

15/2

£60,000 yearling, Earthlight colt. Half-brother to 5f/6f winner Saatty. Promising start (displayed plenty of speed) when sixth of 11 in class 2 novice event at York (5f, good) on debut 22 days ago. That experience won't have been wasted on him and he's respected.

Form: 6

Arabian Cobra¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: H Palmer

5/2

Dark Angel colt who finished midfield in last month's Lily Agnes on debut but took a sizeable step forward when second of 11 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, worn down final 50 yds. Experience likely to count for plenty here and good shout.

Form: 62

Backer Bilk⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw

300/1

Ulysses gelding. 150/1, last of 9 in maiden at Leicester (6f, soft) on debut 9 days ago, very slowly away and beaten before halfway. Can only be watched on the back of that.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer

200/1

14/1

Bated Breath colt who is quite speedily-bred but fairly low-key start when seventeenth of 20 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good) on debut 20 days ago. This promises to reveal more.

9/1

€165,000 yearling, Dark Angel colt. 15/2, held back by inexperience when last of 8 in novice event at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut 18 days ago, weakening when running green entering final 1f. In good hands and this should reveal more.

Forecasts

Veydari (2/1), Arabian Cobra (5/2), Against The Wind (15/2), Patrol (9/1), Mukaber (11/1), Conscript (14/1), Middleton View (14/1), Dubai Bling (33/1), Tiger Mask (33/1), Qaseem (33/1), Our Mighty Mo (33/1), U Sure Do (125/1), Green Pursuit (200/1), Vesperado (250/1), Backer Bilk (300/1)

Strong support behind a debutant will look significant but ARABIAN COBRA took a marked step forward on his debut run in the Lily Agnes when finishing runner-up at Windsor 12 days ago, pulling clear of the remainder, and his experience edge over the majority ought to count for a good deal. Newcomer Mukaber is very much of interest (holds Group 2 entry) and he needs considering. Against the Wind, who ran well on his York debut, and expensive breeze-up acquisition Veydari are others to consider.
