3/10
Cost 90,000 gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to a handful of useful sprinters. Being by trending sire, Society Rock, he is likely to be a popular choice but, with his yard in good form and a top jockey booked for the ride, a bold can be expected.
Cost £42,000 and is related to graded winners on the dirt in the USA. May need more time as his breeding suggest 10f will be well within his compass.

66/1
Nothing special on paper but does have winners in his bloodlines. Likely to need the run and looks one to make an impact in handicaps over further than this.

4/1
Cost €20,000 and is a half-sister to 7f Listed race winner Intense Pink. Yard very much respected and worth a look in the betting.

Forecasts

Rock of Estonia (3/10), Ghepardo (4/1), Joe's Spirit (8/1), Polly's Gold (8/1), Watch Tan (12/1), Cranworth Phoenix (66/1)

Verdict

Very hard to escape the claims of ROCK OF ESTONIA, who has been found a very weak opening for his racecourse debut. Just one of a couple of booked rides on the card for Jamie Spencer, the colt has a stand-out pedigree in this company and there will be a lot of heart-searching by his connections if he fails to deliver at the first time of asking. Ghepardo makes more appeal on paper than Polly's Gold and Watch Tan and is forwarded as the best of the rest.
  1. Rock of Estonia
  2. Ghepardo
  3. Polly's Gold
