5/1
Acclamation colt, cost €98,000 as a foal and sold for £145,000 as a yearling. Trainer started the season in fine fashion and won this in 2011 with Magic City. Bred for this trip and likely to go well with Moore in the saddle.

10/3
Street Cry colt whose dam won over the minimum trip but overall impression of this colt's pedigree suggests he will want further than this. Stable have been among the winners at Newmarket this week so no ruled out.

Horse silk
7/1
Havana Gold colt, cost 38,000 gns as a foal and 60,000 gns as a yearling. Likely to be better suited over middle distances so passed over this time despite the yard being in such good form.

Horse silk
14/1
Showcasing colt, cost £47,000 with speed in his pedigree and closely related to some AW winners. May struggle in this company but this trainer and jockey combination became a force last year and not dismissed out of hand.

Horse silk
16/1
Intikhab colt, cost 52,000 gns as a yearling and half-brother to useful 6f horse Crown Dependency. Interesting pedigree and yard have been in fine form but unlikely to be the stable's first string looking at jockey bookings.

Horse silk
20/1
Havana Gold colt, cost €32,000 as a foal and £30,000 as a yearling. Yard had a winner last week and they won this in 2015 with Harvard Man, but this colt looks like he will need more of a stamina test than this.

25/1
Equiano colt, half brother to six winners and bred for a speed test, but yard have been badly out of form in recent weeks (0-41).

Horse silk
4/1
Acclamation colt, cost 200,000 gns as a yearling. Excellent pedigree, especially for a test of speed and yard have been flying in recent weeks having had three winners from their last nine runners. Owner does well with his runners here and greatly respected.

8/1
Poet's Voice colt, cost 20,000 gns as a foal and €50,000 as a yearling. Dam placed in a 6f Listed contest in Italy and yard have been flying form this season so could go well for a trainer that won this in 2012 with Englishman.

Lethal Force colt, cost €50,000 as a yearling but likely to want further than this.

Forecasts

Gold Town (10/3), Qaaraat (4/1), Embour (5/1), Headway (7/1), Spoof (8/1), Admiral Spice (10/1), Tony Soprano (12/1), Jim Rockford (14/1), Motown Mick (16/1), Mysaan (20/1), Owen The Law (25/1)

Verdict

11 debutantes line-up to get Newbury's opening card of the Flat campaign underway and QAARAAT looks like one of the more likely winners for an owner that does well around here. Richard Hannon's yard couldn't have started the season in better form and his pair, Embour and Motown Mick, are respected while Tom Dascombe had a nice two-year-old winner at Newmarket on Tuesday and his colt, Admiral Spice, is bred to be smart.
  1. Qaaraat
