Mr Wagyu

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

9/1

£26,000 yearling. Dam was a 6f-1m winner as a 2yo out of a 1m2f winning half-sister to Italian Group One winner Polar Prince. Yard's first juvenile made the frame at a price at Pontefract earlier in the week and this one reads well too.

Form: 6

Faradays Spark

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

4/1

€17,000 yearling. Half-brother to three winners at 1m-1m1½f. Dam also won over that sort of trip. Looks likely to do better over further then, though yard's 2yos have made a great start and currently running at a 43% strike rate, so a market check strongly advised.

Form: 8

(10)

Kyleque

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley

28/1

Cost £8,000 and is out of a 5f winning half-sister to another 5f All Weather scorer. Yard not noted for lots of 2yo winners and yet to have one this campaign, but market check advised given his good draw.

Form: 7

(5)

Magnus

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: Tom Dascombe

9/1

10,000 GNS yearling and half-brother to three winners, two of them over 6f as juveniles. Dam won over further but closely related to 7f Group-placed 2yo Juliet Capulet, out of Oaks runner-up. Yard usually around 11% strike rate with juveniles and has already had a winner this term.

Form: 9

Revenge¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

14/1

First foal of a dam who was a 5f winner as a juvenile and like many from his yard, he needed his first run, when missing the break and never involved. Can do better here.

Form: 64

Rocket Man Dan²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: P Makin| T: K Dalgleish

11/8

Stable has winners at this age, although still seeking its first of this season. This £12,000 yearling is bred to do better over further, though ran well for long enough on debut at Doncaster. Can improve for that today.

Form: 72

(6)

Aristodemus

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

66/1

€9,000 buy out of a 7f AW winner at two and subsequent 1m2f scorer. Related to Group-winning middle distance success and given all of that, plus the usual need for a run by her yard's juveniles she is probably best watched today.

Form: 3

(7)

Black Orange¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: M Dwyer| T: Miss Gay Kelleway

4/1

Third in Division Two of the Brocklesby at Doncaster two starts back and the cheek pieces there were swapped for blinkers when she was runner-up at Lingfield last time, when she didn't really improve. With a better start here she should be a leading player.

Form: 321

Kikini Bamalaam¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Rowan Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dalgleish

25/1

Went with them in the early stages on her recent Beverley debut, but couldn't maintain the gallop and was saved for another day when beaten. As a half-sister to a juvenile winner over 5f-7f Chevalier du Lac she is respected and should be able to show a fair bit more this time.

Form: 05

Forecasts

Rocket Man Dan (11/8), Capla Dancer (10/3), Black Orange (4/1), Faradays Spark (4/1), Mr Wagyu (9/1), Magnus (9/1), Revenge (14/1), Sandytown (14/1), Kikini Bamalaam (25/1), Kyleque (28/1), Aristodemus (66/1)

CAPLA DANCER was one that slipped through the net at a big price last week, but it would be foolish to suggest that her win was a flash in the pan. If she is able to run to that level again, or perhaps improve, then she will take all the beating. Black Orange is an obvious danger, albeit it clearly vulnerable, while Revenge might take much closer order too. Mr Wagyu, Sandytown, Magnus and Faradays Spark are others of interest and a close eye on the market is suggested.
