Horse A-Z
€21,000 yearling. Half-brother to four winners from 5f-1m4f, including the Group-placed 6f 2yo Exhibition and 6f 2yo winner None Shall Sleep. Dam was a Listed-placed winner over 1m2f-1m4f. Plenty in his pedigree to suggest that he will have a future. Should come on for this, but probably also capable of a decent debut.
Modest 7,000gns yearling. Dam won over 6f-1m½f and is a half-sister to Listed-placed Italian 7f-1m winner An Jolie, out of French 1m1f/1m2½f winning half-sister to Oaks runner-up Sudden Love. Profile suggests that he will probably do best over further and with a bit of experience under his belt.

Well beaten in both starts over 5f and 7f and on fast ground. Different trip again today, though the way things are shaping up, he will be of more interest when he goes into nurseries.

Showed a bit of improvement for his York debut when last seen at Newmarket (6f, good to soft), though neither effort marks him out as an obvious winner of this unless he makes further improvement today.
Brings the best racecourse form of any of these to the table, having been placed at both Bath on debut and then, after being gelded, at Lingfield on Saturday. Sets the benchmark and his chance is respected.

20,000gns foal who increased to 42,000gns as a yearling. Fifth foal and a half-brother to two winners over 1m and 6f. Dam was a French 7f 2yo winning granddaughter of Coronation/Mill Reef winner Magic Of Life. Nice enough page and represents a top yard whose turf juveniles are ahead of their usual strike rate. Should go well.

First foal of her 5f-7f winning dam (inc at two), who is a half-sister to 1m and 1m2f Group Two winner Tullius, out of a US 1m½f winner. Another nice pedigree and from a yard going well and with 2-14 with its turf juveniles this year.

Half-sister to two winners from 5f-1m½f, one of those as a 2yo. Dam is a 6f-1m2f winning full-sister to 7f 2yo winner Under My Thumb and a half-sister to 5f-6f winner B Fifty Two. Stable a bit quiet and also without a juvenile winner on turf this year, so perhaps a watching brief looks best unless the market speaks volumes for her.

Showed understandable signs of greenness on debut at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last month. Should be able to improve for that and will need to do so if she is to take a hand this time.

Forecasts

Qianlong (11/4), Buffer Zone (3/1), Book of Dreams (4/1), Speak In Colours (4/1), Diamond Dougal (5/1), Powerful Society (6/1), Rose Tinted Spirit (10/1), Cavalry Regiment (16/1), Dark Freedom (16/1), Oliver's Betty (20/1), Crazy World (50/1)

Verdict

One of those races where the benefit of looking at the field in the paddock cannot be emphasised enough, though without that knowledge the suggestion is QIANLONG, who represents a stable outperforming its usual healthy strike rate with juveniles and is likely to be straight enough on debut. Book Of Dreams would have to be another to enter calculations, while Rose Tinted Spirit and Buffer Zone are others to note in the market. The best of them on the track so far has been Diamond Dougal and he is not dismissed, though may be vulnerable.
