Kurios George^h³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Tate

150/1

Once-raced gelding. 22/1 and hooded, sixth of 7 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) on debut 31 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 6

(8)

Archivist⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 86

2/5

Lightly-raced colt. 15/8, first run since leaving Sir Michael Stoute when creditable second of 5 in novice at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 52 days ago, conceding first run. The one to beat.

Form: 4222-2

(4)

Brave Guest

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Channon

40/1

Rumble Inthejungle gelding. Dam, 6f winner who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 1m Lexington Grace (2-y-o 6f/7f winner). Entitled to come on for the run.

Form:

(7)

Clouds Hill⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Johnston

9/1

Promising type. 17/2, second of 8 in maiden at Musselburgh (8f, good) on debut 62 days ago. That form is not exactly working out a treat but this Cracksman colt is open to improvement and should have a big part to play.

Form: 2

(11)

King Of The Sea^h²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: George Downing| T: E Walker

150/1

Twice-raced gelding. Hooded for 1st time, eighth of 12 in novice at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 28/1) 25 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 08

(1)

New York Minute²³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett

5/1

Twice-raced gelding. Fourth of 8 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 2/1). Off 7 months (gelded in the interim) and this well-bred type promises to improve this season. Yard also saddles newcomer Charming Princess.

Form: 64-

Sunshine Mag¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

25/1

Twice-raced colt. Sixth of 8 in novice (125/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Another for whom handicaps will be a more appealing option later on.

Form: 46

(13)

Towerlands²²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll

150/1

Twice-raced gelding. Blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 10 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 7/1). Off 7 months and opposable starting out for new yard (also represented by debutante Quite Sweet) here.

50/1

Once-raced gelding. 40/1, eighth of 11 in novice at Newbury (7f, firm) on debut 18 days ago. Probably more one for the longer-term, with handicaps likely to offer more suitable opportunities further down the line.

Form: 8

(9)

Charming Princess

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

11/2

300,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Northern Express. Dam winner up to 8.3f (2-y-o 6f winner). Lots to like on paper and interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting.

Form:

Quite Sweet

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: A W Carroll

200/1

€5,000 yearling, Rio De La Plata filly. Dam 7f winner.

Forecasts

Archivist (2/5), New York Minute (5/1), Silent Storm (5/1), Charming Princess (11/2), Clouds Hill (9/1), Sunshine Mag (25/1), Brave Guest (40/1), Zouligan (50/1), Kurios George (150/1), King Of The Sea (150/1), Towerlands (150/1), Quite Sweet (200/1), Dinah Myte (200/1)

Several of these have already shown a fair level of form but it's newcomer CHARMING PRINCESS who appeals most. She fetched 300,000 gns as a yearling and it will look very significant if the market speaks in her favour. Having shaped well on their respective debuts at Musselburgh and Newbury, Clouds Hill and Silent Storm could emerge as the main dangers, given that Archivist's limitations have seemingly already been exposed. The selection's stablemate New York Minute is another promising type.
