Al Deebil

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian

25/1

Danadana colt. Brother to winner abroad and half-brother to 1½m winner Major Mac and smart 7f-1¼m winner What's The Story. Dam maiden. In good hands it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Form:

Apache Canyon

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Wigham

100/1

€10,000 foal, 6,000 gns 2-y-o, Kessaar gelding. Dam, third at 6f, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Jairzihno. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers.

Form:

(10)

Baraq³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 85

6/1

Thrice-raced colt. Second of 8 in novice (9/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) 35 days ago, clear of rest. Likely to be in the thick of things.

Form: 63-2

(4)

Boss Dog

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace

50/1

Zoustar gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 1m Buridan and 2-y-o 5f-6.5f winner The Great Heir, both useful. Dam 7f winner. One of 2 newcomers for this yard (the other being Breathless Spirit) and the betting should be informative.

Breathless Spirit

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: Harry Eustace

25/1

€70,000 foal, €100,000 yearling, Invincible Spirit gelding. Half-brother to useful 7f winner Betterdaysrcoming. Dam, winner up to 11f (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Tobosa. Fairly appealing on paper.

Grey Moon⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: Harry Charlton

100/1

Once-raced gelding. Last of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f, 66/1) on debut 58 days ago. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Shamran.

Form: 0

(11)

Lzaz²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding

50/1

Once-raced gelding. 9/2, ninth of 10 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good) on debut 20 days ago. Probably more of a handicapping prospect.

Form: 9

(3)

Run Of Luck²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: E De Giles

250/1

Twice-raced gelding. 200/1, tenth of 12 in maiden at Ffos Las (8f, good) 23 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 00

(12)

Sense Of Reason¹⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: C Fellowes

80/1

Once-raced colt. Fifteenth of 17 in maiden (100/1) at Newbury (8f, good) on debut. Off 104 days and he's likely to be seen in a better light when going down the handicap route later on.

Form: 0

(2)

Shamran¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Harry Charlton

4/1

Twice-raced colt. Second of 9 in novice (17/2) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago, well positioned. Solid each-way chance.

Form: 42

(13)

Skipper⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: Tom Clover

11/8

Twice-raced gelding. 7/1, fourth of 14 in novice at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 41 days ago. That form is working out well and this son of Calyx is the one to beat.

Form: 54

(8)

Victorious Street³⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Coakley| T: S & E Crisford

5/2

Twice-raced colt. Second of 4 in conditions stakes (3/1) at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm), no match for winner. Off 10 months but will be a threat if fully tuned-up.

Form: 42-

(6)

Ephyra^t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Kyle Strydom| T: D Menuisier

150/1

Twice-raced filly. Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 11 in maiden at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft, 33/1) 23 days ago. Another who may fare better in handicaps further down the line.

Form: 5-0

(1)

Reaching The Moon²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: W S Kittow

250/1

Twice-raced filly. Ninth of 12 in maiden (200/1) at Ffos Las (8f, good) 23 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 09

Forecasts

Skipper (11/8), Victorious Street (5/2), Shamran (4/1), Baraq (6/1), Breathless Spirit (25/1), Al Deebil (25/1), Boss Dog (50/1), Lzaz (50/1), Sense Of Reason (80/1), Apache Canyon (100/1), Grey Moon (100/1), Ephyra (150/1), Reaching The Moon (250/1), Run Of Luck (250/1)

It may well be a case of third time lucky for SKIPPER, who has shown a fair level of ability in novice events at both Newmarket tracks. Shamran and Baraq rate the main dangers, but Victorious Street will also have a chance if raring to go following 10 months off and newcomer Al Deebil needs close attention in the betting.
