Dick Turpin colt with a pedigree better suited to plenty further than this trip and likely to need his debut run.
Kyllachy colt, cost 32,000 gns as a foal and 60,000 gns as a yearling. Dam is an Italian Listed winner related to winners at around this trip. Yard have been a little quiet of late though and others make more appeal.
Big Bad Bob colt, cost €24,000 as a foal, €20,000 as a yearling and £32,000 as a Breeze-Up purchase. Shaped nicely at Wetherby on debut and not beaten all that far so not discounted with that run under his belt in similar conditions, provided he takes a step forward.
Footstepsinthesand colt, cost €20,000 as a foal and €85,000 as a yearling. Dam a winner at around this trip and related to 5f Group 3 winner Splashing. Yard's debutantes have been ready to go this year and the yard have been in good form generally with their juveniles. Looks like the one to beat with top jockey booked for the ride.
Finjaan colt, half-brother to Cansili Star and hurdle winner Jawaab. Dam a half-sister to Group 2 winner Inchmurrin and 6f two-year-old Group 2 winner Welney. Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and worth noting in the betting.
Maxios colt, cost 55,000 gns as a foal and 60,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a half-sister to the Listed-placed 1m-1m2f winner Moi Lolita out of a 1m-winning full-sister to Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Saffron Walden and Canadian 1m2f Group One winner Insight. Excellent debut over C&D and clearly sets the standard from those who have had a run.
Epaulette colt, cost €47,000 as a foal and €95,000 as a yearling. Related to a couple of 1m juvenile winners and has a decent middle distance pedigree. Stable not known for its two-year-olds and they are 1-41 in recent seasons.
Zoffany colt, cost €65,000 as a foal and £35,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to the juvenile 6f winner Cap Patrol. Yard not had the best season with their juveniles and this colt finished fourth of nine at Newbury on debut, too green to do himself justice. Needs to have learnt plenty from that to have any chance here.
Archipenko colt who unseated his rider when very green on debut. More to like about his second start at Brighton but that form likely to be a little below what is retired here.
Leroidesanimaux colt, dam a winner on the AW over a mile and half-sister to smart stayer Dominating. Trainer's runners usually need their debut but yard have been in excellent form so any market support should be noted.

Forecasts
Master Of Wine (11/10), Petrus (10/3), Bathsheba Bay (6/1), Barford (7/1), Rivas Rob Roy (12/1), Cuban Heel (12/1), Trogon (25/1), Homerton (25/1), Matewan (33/1), Amaretto (40/1), Ahfad (66/1)
BATHSHEBA BAY looks like an interesting newcomer for the Richard Hannon stable and he gets the narrow vote with Moore in the saddle. Master Of Wine sets the standard on form after a nice run over C&D on debut while Barford ran a little better than his finishing position suggests at Wetherby on debut.
