Dancing Tiger^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: R A Teal

16/1

Some encouragement on debut but failed to repeat that when fifth of 9 in novice at Newbury (10f, good) 23 days ago. May well be suited by this longer trip but improvement required.

Form: 55

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas

8/11

Golden Horn colt needed the experience on debut when fifth of 7 in maiden at Newbury (11f, good) on debut 22 days ago, ran green but penny began to drop late on. Should be much sharper for that experience and is open to improvement over the longer trip. Solid claims.

Form: 5

Bull Run

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

7/2

260,000 gns yearling, Sea The Moon colt. Dam, winner up to 1m (Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and 2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to smart sprinter Another Party. Makes appeal on pedigree and could have a say on debut.

Earnest Belief

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J & T Gosden

8/1

€65,000 foal, 110,000 gns yearling, Mastercraftsman colt. Brother to very smart 1½m-2½m winner Coltrane and half-brother to useful winner up to 1¼m Warda Jamila. Dam unraced. Plenty to like about his pedigree and has to be respected for top yard on debut.

Spiritofaustralia

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding

25/1

€21,000 foal, €45,000 yearling, Australia gelding. Closely related to 1¼m winner Alpheus. dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to top-class winner up to 1½m Duke of Marmalade and Derby winner Ruler of The World. 1 of 2 runners for the Balding team and is worth a market check on racecourse bow.

(6)

Triple Gee

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

9/1

100,000 gns yearling, Masar gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 11f/1½m winner Quenelle d'Or and 13f/1¾m winner Golden Shot. Dam 1½m winner. One to note in the betting on debut with jockey booking suggesting he may be stable first string.

Forecasts

Gold Cup Day (8/11), Bull Run (7/2), Earnest Belief (8/1), Triple Gee (9/1), Dancing Tiger (16/1), Spiritofaustralia (25/1)

GOLD CUP DAY made a promising debut at Newbury last month, seemingly getting the hang of things late on. He's entitled to improve for that experience and can get off the mark at the second attempt. Bull Run was the most expensive of the 4 interesting newcomers and may prove next best ahead of Triple Gee, who might be the pick of the Andrew Balding pair.
