45,000gns yearling; by Australia; dam placed 1m2f/1m3f in Germany, sibling to a few very useful German winners, notably Elle Shadow (triple 1m2f Group 3); probably one to look out for over longer trips later on.

Form & Verdict
450,000gns breeze-up purchase who appeared to run well, despite being hampered and racing in the unfavoured group, in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (finished tenth of 25 overall, fourth of nine on the far side) in latest 6f start; one of the form players, upped in trip.

W: 9st 2lb

2 yo Colt

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
Has shown ability in 6f contests, finishing fourth both times and earning a mark of 77 which is 3lb below the one allotted to stablemate Rafe's Da Man but he's the first string on jockey arrangements and still open to progress with this new trip a plus on breeding.

Form: 3 BF

Last run: 19 days

W: 9st 2lb

2 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
450,000euros breeze-up buy who holds two Group entries; hindered his chance with an awkward start and some greenness en route to finishing third (beaten favourite) over 6f at Windsor; recorded a modest RPR but should do better with the experience under his belt.

2 yo Colt

OR: 80

Form & Verdict
Thrice-raced colt who is moving steadily in the right direction, good third at Newbury (7f, good to firm) most recently; however, likely needs further progress to open his account in this field and he's the stable second string on jockey arrangements.

Form & Verdict
Ballydoyle colt who holds several Group entries; unable to quicken in steadily run maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) but stuck on for fourth of six and should be capable of improvement, especially if getting a stronger pace kept to this distance; shortlisted.

Betting Forcast

2/1 Al Wathba, 66/1 Bundaberg, 9/2 Charted Course, 33/1 Dontworryaboutme, 25/1 Howzatt, 11/2 Leadlight, 20/1 Magi Melchior, 10/1 Market Leader, 20/1 Rafes Da Man, 10/1 Regency Royal, 25/1 Rupert The Brave, 9/2 Speakers Corner, 20/1 Speyside, 25/1 Walkin On The Moon

Verdict

Having posted a Newmarket effort that has substance, AL WATHBA holds particularly strong claims. Irish colts Leadlight (second choice) and Speakers Corner are interesting, while Charted Course is a major form contender back down in class. A few others are open to improvement and contribute to the warmness of this maiden.[Steve Boow]
