Down the field on both starts and a big outsider again.
|
Foaled February 15. 90,000 gns Showcasing colt. Brother to 3 winners, including very smart winner up to 7f Tasleet and 2-y-o 6f winner Lady Light and half-brother to useful 6f-9f winner Makaamen. The betting should guide to expectations.
|
Foaled May 2. 380,000 gns Night of Thunder colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m River Alwen and 6f winner Esprit Rose. Entered in the Gimcrack. Makes obvious appeal for a top 2-y-o stable.
|
Foaled January 28. Invincible Spirit colt. Dam, French 6.5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Blown By Wind out of smart 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Discourse. Distant Storm presumably the first string but still needs a betting check.
|
Foaled March 28. €400,000 Wootton Bassett colt. Dam twice-raced sister to very smart winner up to 1¾m Wonderful Tonight, won British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes/Prix de Royallieu. Doesn't hold any Group entries but still a much respected newcomer.
|
Cost a whopping €1,900,000 at the breeze-ups and related to winners, notably the smart Beautiful Morning. Entered in the Group 1 National Stakes in the autumn. Likely to have a big say on debut.
|
Stepped up on debut when second of 13 in 6f Windsor novice but that level of form is short of what it usually takes to win this so he'll almost certainly need to improve again. Tongue tied first time.
|
Foaled January 31. £82,000 Zoustar gelding. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1m Blatant. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 1¼m winner Savannenstern out of smart 10.4f-1½m winner Savanne. Possibly best watched.
|
Foaled April 6. Frankel half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Appointed One. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, sister to smart winner up to 7f Culturati. Top yard has won 2 of the last 3 runnings, including with the top-class Field of Gold 12 months ago. Market confidence would look significant.
|
Hasn't shown enough in his 2 outings to think he's likely to figure here.
|
Foaled March 11. Pinatubo colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Common Snipe. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Savvy Knight.
|
Foaled April 9. St Mark's Basilica half-brother to several winners, including very smart winner up to 10.2f See The Fire and useful 2-y-o 7f winner Royal Playwright. Makes paper appeal.

Forecasts
Distant Storm (5/6), Oxagon (5/1), Constitution River (15/2), Venetian Prince (15/2), Exclusive Code (8/1), Billecart (9/1), Lost Signal (14/1), Catullus (20/1), Hengroin (20/1), Sword Maker (28/1), Oceans Four (50/1), Aspect Island (100/1), Raging Raj (200/1), Aneedahbeer (500/1)
It's likely this will go to a newcomer, with the suggestion being very expensive breeze-up purchase DISTANT STORM, who is Group 1-entered in the autumn, before any market clues are known. The Gosden stable has a good recent record in this race so Oxagon rates another likely type. Constitution River and Billecart are other debutants with plenty to recommend them.
