Form & Verdict
Superbly bred colt who was very much the stable second string according to the market (and deserted by Ryan Moore) for his debut in a Curragh maiden (7f, good to yielding) 15 days ago but he managed to overcome greenness to beat his five rivals, ultimately a shade cosily; likely to have learnt plenty from that and a major player for yard that has won this race seven times.

Form & Verdict
Improved from his debut and appreciated the longer trip when justifying favouritism in a Leicester maiden (7f, good) ten days ago; should be winning more races, but unlikely to be this one.

Form & Verdict
$220,000 yearling; overcame both taking a strong hold and greenness when staying on well to make a winning debut in a maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good) last month (third has won since); very likely to have learnt from that and he's one to be interested in.

Form & Verdict
$100,000 yearling, 220,000gns breeze-up 2yo; half-brother to three winners including Countessa (11.6f turf/1m4f AW; RPR 79) and Junipermarshmallow (US 7.5f/8.5f turf 2yo including stakes); dam 7f AW winner (80), closely related to multiple 1m Group 1 winner Alpha Centauri; this is a tough race in which to make his debut, but he must be well regarded by his top stable and this race did go to a newcomer four years go; market should be revealing.

OR:

Form & Verdict
450,000gns yearling; 4-1 when beaten half a length into second of ten (well clear of the third) on last month's debut in a Thirsk novice (7f, good); should be winning races in due course, but will need a good deal more if he's to go one better in this; stable triple-handed.

Form & Verdict
150,000gns foal, 350,000gns yearling; 8-11 for last month's debut in a Redcar maiden (7f, good) and, despite showing signs of greenness, he came home 3l clear of his nearest rival (third has won since); will have learnt plenty from that and is respected for stable that took this race in 2022.

2 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
160,000gns yearling; 8-1 when fourth of ten on his debut in a novice here (6f, good) last month; subsequent wins by the first and fifth give the form some substance and the extra furlong should suit, but he needs to have improved considerably.

Form & Verdict
Looked the stable's third string (and was apprentice ridden) when fourth of eight in a Curragh maiden on debut (6f, good) last month; the form has been well advertised by the wins of the second and third and the extra furlong should suit, but improvement will be needed.

2 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
Could hardly have been more impressive when justifying favouritism in a Lingfield restricted maiden (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, but he had previously finished over 4l behind Revels when third of seven on Redcar debut (7f, good); even with the subsequent progress, that's quite a margin to turn around, especially with that rival open to improvement.

OR:

Form & Verdict
5-1 and did all his best work late on when third of eight on debut in a Beverley novice (7.5f, good to firm; hooded, but not today) last month; open to improvement, but the form looks ordinary and this is likely to prove much too hot.

Form & Verdict
Could manage only third of four when 11-10 for Haydock debut (7f, good to soft) last month, but he managed to come home just over 7l clear in a restricted novice at Musselburgh (7f, good) 13 days ago, despite rolling around in front; this race is tougher, but he looks a nice type and is respected.

Form & Verdict
100,000gns yearling; caught the eye when staying on strongly to finish third of ten on his debut in a Thirsk novice (7f, good; 18-1) last month; that was a promising start, but he still finished about 5l behind Pikachu and is unlikely to be up to this task.

2 yo Filly

OR:

Form & Verdict
Well-backed 9-4 favourite when beating her 11 rivals on debut in a Newbury fillies' maiden (6.5f, good to firm) this month; this race will be tougher, but her trainer was very complimentary about her after that win and fillies have won two of the last three runnings.

OR:

Improved from her debut when winning a fillies' restricted novice at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in April, but was held under her penalty in a fillies' novice at Nottingham (6f, good) last month; would be a surprise winner.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Impressive when coming home 3l clear on her debut in a Haydock fillies' maiden (6f, good to soft; 8-1) last month, especially as she had to overcome all sorts of traffic issues; open to progress and the extra furlong won't be a problem, but the form of the Haydock race isn't really working out, so improvement will be required.
