£16,000 son of Kheleyf out of a dam who won three races on the AW. Last of eight when highly tried on debut and, although this is easier, he has plenty to find.
Doesn't catch the eye on paper and showed little to enthuse over when unfancied for his debut over 7f at Salisbury last month
72,000 gns purchase at the breeze-ups. By Most Improved out of a dam who is a half-sister to nine winners. Yard 0-19 with this age group over the past five seasons.
65,000 gns son of Dark Angel and second foal of a well-related dam. Represents an in form yard which is 2-11 in juvenile races here.
€200,000 son of Lonhro out of a dam who is a half-sister to the top-class Peintre Celebre. Half-brother to a couple of winners in the US. Stable going well and the market should be a good guide as to expectations on debut.
£50,000 son of Thewayyouare and half-brother to three winners including Group Two winner Illuminate. Trainer's first ever juvenile runner and another to check in the ring.
Half-brother to George William who has done well for the yard in these colours. Yard's juveniles are improving for a run and he needs to step up considerably on a modest debut.
55,000 gns purchase who has been beaten an aggregate of 40L in his two starts. Has missed the break on both occasions and has shown no positives.
Owner-bred son of Helmet out of a dam who was a winner on the AW. Stable 1-43 with turf juveniles this year and pedigree raises doubts about the suitability of the going.
Unraced daughter of Dark Angel cost 50,000 gns as a yearling last October. Half-sister to a couple of decent sprinters in Just Glamorous and Glamorous Spirit and worth a check in the market on debut.
Makes limited appeal on pedigree and has finished last on both starts without offering a threat. Hard to fancy on current evidence.
Five-race maiden whose best effort came on a soft surface here over 6f. Shapes as though she will get this far and will get few easier opportunities to open her account.
Forecasts
Polly's Gold (5/4), Gunnar Julius (5/1), Statuario (6/1), Mister Maestro (7/1), Grey Spirit (14/1), Smugglers Top (16/1), Boko Fittleworth (16/1), Miniature Daffodil (20/1), Glamorous Dream (22/1), Beyond Equal (33/1), Blackwood (50/1), Miss Condi (100/1)
Grey Spirit, Gunnar Julius and Miniature Daffodil are expensive buys with decent pedigrees who are notable debutants in a race that will take little winning. Apart from POLLY'S GOLD those that have raced have achieved little. Her best effort came here under similar conditions and the way she finished that day suggested the extra furlong she gets here would be appreciated.
