From a respected yard but two runs over this trip last month at Leicester, both on better ground than is likely here, have suggested only an average amount of ability. One of three from the yard in this.
Second Fahey runner, first start on the track with breeding hinting might be better over further in time. One to note in the betting.
Maxios colt, cost €38,000 as a yearling. Dam was related to a 1m4f Group 3 winner, well beaten on Ascot debut last week over this trip and may want further, though trainer's 2yos are flying.
Kodiac colt makes racecourse debut in this, trainer does have fair record with 2yos so could be one to look out for. Breeding suggests trip will be fine.
€16,000 yearling by Havana Gold out of Auntie Kathryn (herself a 5f winner). Half-brother to 5f AW winner Royal Celebration. Missed the break on debut before finishing fourth behind two subsequent winners at Lingfield 39 days ago on AW.
Just denied on third start in similar event at Ripon eight days ago when attempting to make all, that was an improved effort and cannot be discounted on the back of it.
Elzaam colt cost €13,000 as a yearling, yard haven't been prolific with 2yos recently, just four per-cent in the last 12 months.
Is out of a 5f winning half-sister to another 5f AW scorer, didn't cut much ice on debut at Ripon three weeks ago and yard aren't noted for 2yo successes.
£28,000 yearling is a half-sister to three sprint winners, ran acceptable race over 5f at Ripon last month on good-to-soft, form has worked out already and may improve for the run. Third runner for the yard in here.
Holy Roman Emperor filly cost 20,000 gns as a yearling and is one to be noted for this debut appearance.
Forecasts
Our Man In Havana (9/4), Flo's Melody (9/2), Zabaletaswansong (13/2), Bahuta Acha (15/2), Mabo (8/1), Jedi Master (9/1), Alaska (9/1), Holy Tiber (20/1), Kyleque (25/1), El Bertie (25/1)
FLO'S MELODY looks the pick of the Fahey trio and her debut third at Ripon looks promising with the runner-up having scored since. She should improve for that run and will handle the likely conditions. Stablemate and newcomer Mabo is also worth noting in the betting while Holy Tiber is another newcomer demanding respect. Bahuta Acha improved last time out and has to have a chance while Our Man In Havana can do better than debut run if breaking smarter now.
- Flo's Melody
- Bahuta Acha
