Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane

18/1

Twice-raced colt. 4 lengths second on 7.5f Beverley debut and has a position on the far flank of the field as a possible excuse for a lesser run at Newcastle since.

Form: 28

13/2

Foaled May 4. €18,000 Study of Man colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 10.5f-1½m winner Sunly and 1¼m-1½m winner Perfuse, both useful. Respected debutant.

Homestrait²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 66

3/1

Fair form when runner-up on all 4 outings, beaten 3 lengths when stepped up to 7f at Newcastle last time. Another prominent showing is likely but might be vulnerable to newcomers with potential.

Forecasts

Castrillo (11/4), Homestrait (3/1), Galileo Island (9/2), Reliable Ricki (13/2), Parisian Scholar (13/2), Athenian Spirit (17/2), Ibn Altheeb (18/1), Smoker Bellamy (40/1)

Those with experience don't set the bar that high so it might be worth chancing a newcomer, with Kevin Ryan's RELIABLE RICKI preferred to Castrillo and Parisian Scholar before any market clues are known.
