Selected odds by:
Sands of Mali colt who scored in good style on his 5f Carlisle debut (good to soft) 19 days ago. Sure to progress for a stable which has had a few run well in this down the years.
|
Went close in 6f Windsor novice on second start but only fifth of 15 at Haydock since. Would be a shock winner.
|
£350,000 breeze-up purchase who bumped into a promising sort when 2 lengths second of 10 on Ripon debut (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. Sure to improve.
|
Only fair form when fifth on all 3 starts and first-time blinkers need to transform him.
|
Made it third time lucky in Goodwood novice (5f, heavy) in May and better form when 2 lengths third of in conditions race at Tipperary (5f, heavy) 22 days ago.
|
Half-brother to several winners but hasn't shown enough when reaching the frame over 6f at Newmarket and Leicester in recent weeks to think he'll get heavily involved here.
|
450,000 gns No Nay Never colt who made a winning start to his career in a 5f Navan maiden 11 days ago. One of 2 strong contenders for his stable.
|
$450,000 breeze-up buy who showed plenty when neck second of 12 to Into Diamonds in maiden at Keeneland on debut, leading until close home. Sure to progress.
|
Largely knew his job when justifying favouritism in 13-runner maiden (4/1) at Thirsk (5f, soft) on debut in May. Could only run to a similar level when fifth of 10 in Woodcote at Epsom (6f, soft) since but this drop back to 5f may suit him.
|
Left York debut well behind when second of 12 in 5f Nottingham maiden 17 days ago, showing good speed.
|
American raider who displayed plenty of speed and a good attitude when making a winning start to his career at Gulfstream (5f, firm) 39 days ago. Has a tongue strap added to his blinkers this time and sure to improve.
|
Kodiac colt who made a winning start at Newbury in April and had soft ground as a possible excuse for his disappointing run in the National Stakes at Sandown since.
|
Evens, blinkered when third of 6 in maiden at Aqueduct (5.5f) on debut 26 days ago. Plenty to find on form but his US trainer is well known for juvenile success at this meeting.
|
7/4, trained by Dominic Ffrench Davis when third of 14 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good) on debut 35 days ago. Huge improvement will be needed.
|
Made it 2-2 when leading towards the finish in 5f Salisbury novice (heavy) 34 days ago. Can progress again for a stable which knows what it takes to win this.
|
Wootton Bassett colt who left his debut behind when narrowly denied in a C&D conditions race last month. Not in quite the same form when 4¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Enchanting Empress in listed race at Sandown (5f, soft) since. Previously trained by Dominic Ffrench Davis.
|
Made winning start in 12-runner maiden at Cork (5f, good, 16/1) in May and might have been unsuited by much softer ground when well beaten at Tipperary since.
|
5/1, 2¾ lengths third of 7 to reopposing Sir Yoshi in maiden at Tipperary (5f, soft) on debut 21 days ago, not knocked about. Will need to leave that bare form well behind.
|
16/1, promise when third of 11 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 16/1) on debut 25 days ago, running on. Open to progress but this looks too big an ask.
|
11/4, overcame inexperience to make a winning start in early 5f Southwell maiden. Ran to a similar level when third of 6 in a C&D conditions race 5 weeks later. More needed.
|
9/2, won 11-runner novice at York (5f, good) on debut 35 days ago, just holding on from a subsequent listed winner. Has since been purchased by Wathnan Racing. Smart prospect.
|
Made it third time lucky when a cosy winner in maiden company at Tipperary (5f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Open to further progress.
|
Built on his promising debut second in the mud at the Curragh when taking a 5f conditions race at Naas next time under much faster conditions. That was a very useful performance and he has the potential for better again. Leading claims.
|
Mehmas colt won a 6-runner-race on his 5f Chepstow debut (heavy) 36 days ago. His three closest pursuers on that occasion have all run well since. Capable of better.
|
Plenty to like about his debut third of 12 at Nottingham 17 days ago but a jolt of improvement will be needed for him to get heavily involved here.
|
Made the perfect start at Ayr (5f) in April. Slight improvement when 3¾ lengths fourth to Shadow Army under a penalty at the York Dante meeting (5f, good). Unexposed for good yard but a big step forward will be needed.
|
Kempton debut winner and unlucky third in the Hilary Needler at Beverley since, losing all winning chance when short of room and shuffled back approaching the final 1f, keeping on well in the closing stages. Definitely more to come.

TREASURE ISLE recorded a useful performance at Naas last month and is taken to provide the Aidan O'Brien/Ryan Moore combination with a fourth win in this since 2015. Richard Fahey's juveniles have been going well and Shadow Army looked a nice prospect when edging out a subsequent French listed winner on his York debut in May. The selection's stablemate Celtic Chieftain and sole filly Aviation Time, who looked unlucky at Beverley recently, complete the shortlist.
