(10)

Bnaider²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: Harry Charlton

18/1

New Bay gelding. Dam, French 12.5f winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m-2m winner Dubai Future out of useful winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner) Anjaz. Showed plenty to work with late when fourth of 10 in maiden at Ffos Las (7.4f) on debut 23 days ago. Should improve, for all he may need further.

Form: 4

(1)

Ghost Division¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Sir Mark Prescott

300/1

Seventh of 10 in novice at this C&D (50/1) 16 days ago. Typically being brought along with handicaps in mind.

Form: 77

(7)

Golden Conqueror

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian

16/1

200,000 2-y-o, Starspangledbanner colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Time Signature and 1m winner Belong Together. Dam, winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner), half-sister to useful winner Sound Angela (also trained by Roger Varian). Makes plenty of appeal on paper and one to note for support on debut.

(8)

Joulany

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

5/6

800,000 yearling, Sea the Stars colt. Brother to 3 winners, including very smart 1¼m-13.3f winner Al Aasy and useful 1½m-1¾m winner Align The Stars and half-brother to 1¼m winner Karat Karat. Outstanding pedigree and though likely to need further, still merits respect on debut for top connections.

Legacy Rock³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole

125/1

Ran below debut form when eleventh of 15 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to firm, 40/1) 38 days ago. Needs more time.

Form: 50

(2)

Look To The Stars³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| BF

5/4

€400,000 yearling, Galiway colt showed plenty of ability when runner-up on debut (race working out well) and still looked inexperienced when well-beaten by an impressive winner at Sandown (7f, good) 37 days ago. Still sets the standard and could well make his experience count.

Form: 22

(5)

Ruiz^h1³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow

300/1

Was too free when last of 12 in novice at this C&D (125/1) on debut 30 days ago. Hooded for first time but looks unlikely to make an impact in this company.

Form: 0

(9)

Shadow Brigade¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: George Scott

28/1

Expensive purchase improved from his debut while still learning the ropes when third of 9 in novice at this C&D (12/1) 16 days ago. Entitled to improve again but may prove one for the longer-term.

Form: 73

(6)

Yazin

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

16/1

New Bay colt. Dam, unraced, closely related to smart 1m-1¼m winner Tawkeel out of useful 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Rafaadah. Newcomer from a top yard and market should prove informative.

Form:

Non-Runners

Swiped²⁶

Weight: 9-7| Age: 2

T: R M Beckett J: Edward Greatrex

Forecasts

Joulany (5/6), Look To The Stars (5/4), Swiped (14/1), Yazin (16/1), Golden Conqueror (16/1), Bnaider (18/1), Shadow Brigade (28/1), Legacy Rock (125/1), Ghost Division (300/1), Ruiz (300/1)

LOOKS TO THE STARS was runner-up in a useful race on debut and likely bumped into one when second at Sandown last month. He's fancied to get off the mark at the third attempt, while Bnaider may do best of the rest with racecourse experience. All three newcomers make plenty of appeal on pedigree, Golden Conqueror (half-brother to a useful winner trained by the stable) is perhaps the most interesting of them before market clues.
