Impressive winner of Wolverhampton maiden on debut last month but disappointed on turf debut when sent off favourite at Salisbury last time. 7lb penalty makes life tough but cannot be discounted if back on song.
Debut for this Exceed and Excel half-brother to two winners. Yard enjoying a fine summer and any market interest would be a positive sign.
14,500 guineas Bated Breath colt making his debut for yard having a fairly quiet time of things of late. Dam won four times at up to a mile and may improve for slightly further in trip later this campaign.
Holy Roman Emperor colt cost 67,000 euros represents yard having a good campaign. Half-brother to two pattern race placed fillies so looks the part on paper and may well be there or thereabouts.
Zebedee colt missed the break on his racecourse bow at Wolverhampton and never had a hope of getting involved. Dam daughter of Queen Mary Stakes winner Romantic Myth so there is plenty of speed in the pedigree.
Speedily bred Dark Angel colt out of a wining mare at both 5f and 6f. Good debut effort not ruled out and any confidence in the betting markets would be significant.
Led out unsold at 210,000 euros earlier this year and has a fine pedigree, although there is plenty of stamina on the dam's side. Yard yet to have a juvenile winner on turf so might have it to do.
Shaped well on her racecourse bow at Doncaster but has disappointe i n both subsequent starts and is likely to find this company a little too hot to handle. May do better in nurseries.
Forecasts
Running Cloud (11/10), Zyzzyva (3/1), Expelled (7/1), Fiery Breath (9/1), Rustang (12/1), Tip Two Win (20/1), Spring Romance (20/1), Cruel Clever Cat (25/1)
Richard Hghes' RUSTANG is a tentative selection in a race with not a great deal of form to go on. This nicely bred colt may well be up to making his presence felt at the first time of asking. Running Cloud is the only previous winner in the field having scored nicely at Wolverhampton before bombing out last time. He may well do better here but has to give away weight all round. Expelled is another with a decent pedigree and represents a yard going well, while a good debut from both Tip Two Win and Zyzzyva is certainly not ruled out.
