Once-raced gelding. Last of 11 in maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW, 250/1) on debut when green. Off 158 days. First run for yard after leaving Denis Quinn. Eyeshields on for first time and needs to take a huge step forward.

Lemurian¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tyler Heard| T: J & T Gosden

50/1

Well-bred twice-raced colt. Fared little better than on debut when 20/1, seventh of 9 in novice at Newmarket (10f, good) 12 days ago. Looks to be stable second string.

Relocal

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian

4/1

€200,000 yearling, Siyouni colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Batemans Bay and 6f winner Unexpected Outcome. One to note on debut.

St Mawes¹⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: Miss E C Lavelle

10/1

Ran to similar level as on debut when 5/2, third of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (10f, soft). Off 6 months and could be more to come this season.

Form: 63-

Tycoon²⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden

4/9

Strong-looking Kingman colt made a highly promising debut when third of 10 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good) in August, green and finishing with running left. Totally unexposed, still entered in the Derby and could be the one to beat with this longer trip sure to suit.

Form: 3-

(5)

Glazia

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Edward Greatrex| T: R M Beckett

11/2

Too Darn Hot filly. Dam, winner up to 9.5f (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to high-class winner up to 15.5f Scope. In excellent hands and respected on debut.

Form:

Schemaya¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon

33/1

Twice-raced filly. Shaped better than on debut when sixth of 7 in maiden (18/1) at Newbury (11f, good) 16 days ago. Will need to improve again.

Forecasts

Tycoon (4/9), Noble Horizon (3/1), Relocal (4/1), Glazia (11/2), St Mawes (10/1), Schemaya (33/1), Lemurian (50/1), John T (66/1), Burano Murano (125/1), One Million Dreams (125/1)

An interesting pair of Kingman colts line up here, both of whom hold a Derby entry. Preference is for TYCOON who shaped with plenty of encouragement when third in a 7f Sandown maiden last season and he can make a winning return at the expense of Noble Horizon, who is also open to improvement now tackling middle distances. Well-bred newcomer Relocal can hit the frame on debut.
