Nightime Dancer³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| D

9/1

Ghaiyyath colt who confirmed debut promise upped in trip when winning 6-runner novice at Southwell (12.1f) last month, finding quite an impressive burst. Will go on improving and worth a try in this higher grade.

Form: 3-1

40/1

Looked a different proposition to his debut effort when cosily winning 4-runner novice at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 8/11) in March, justifying heavy support in the process. Ran another solid race in a deeper contest at Southwell but is surely biting off more than he can chew here. Cheekpieces on.

Form: 5-14

Prince Of The Seas¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 96

8/1

Sea The Stars colt who confirmed the promise of his debut second at Kempton in August when going one place better at Sandown 3 weeks later. Still green when fifth of 7 in listed event at Epson (10.1f) on return and remains capable of better.

Form: 21-5

Puppet Master⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 105

4/5

Promising Camelot colt built on his Galway maiden victory when an excellent fourth in Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) in September. Not seen to best effect upped in trip when fourth in Leopardstown Group 3 on reappearance and well worth another chance.

Form: 214-4

Rogue Impact¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: James Owen| D

22/1

Study of Man colt who left sole run for Peter Chapple-Hyam well behind when winning 9-runner maiden at Lingfield (12f, AW) 17 days ago, well on top finish. This is a big step up but may have better still to come for new stable.

Form: 0-1

(5)

Stay True³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: A P O'Brien

5/2

Galileo colt who looked smart prospect when making a successful debut in 10-runner maiden at Lepardstown (10f, good to soft) last month, well on top finish. Will stay further than 1¼m and seems sure to progress and win more races.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Puppet Master (4/5), Stay True (5/2), Rahiebb (6/1), Prince Of The Seas (8/1), Nightime Dancer (9/1), Rogue Impact (22/1), Our 'Enery (40/1)

PUPPET MASTER progressed with each run at 2 yrs and, having not had the chance to fully unwind in the straight at Leopardstown on his reappearance, he's well worth another chance to show his true worth. The selection's stablemate Stay True created an excellent impression when making a winning debut at the same venue last month and falls into the 'could be anything' category, while Prince of The Seas showed he's still learning on his Epsom return and remains capable of better.
