War Front colt, cost $1,300,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to a two-year-old dirt winner and dam was a Group 1 winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and trainer in good form but his juveniles often need their debut; holds a Group 1 entry.
Arcano colt, cost 28,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to two-year-old sprint winner What's In A Kiss. Trainer just one win from 120 runners with two-year-old debutantes so probably best watched.
Sepoy colt, cost 15,000 gns as a foal and 40,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to two winners and dam also a winner but all over much further than this and others make more appeal.
Most Improved colt, cost €18,000 as a yearling and 72,000 gns as a Breeze-Up purchase. Pedigree suggest he will want further than this and well beaten over this trip on debut at Chepstow. Plenty to prove.
Lope De Vega colt, cost €50,000 as a foal and 55,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a 7f winner and dam a Listed winner around this trip. Plenty to like about his pedigree and yard's debutantes been running well this year; should run well.
Cape Cross colt, half-brother to stayer Padrinho and dam a half-sister to Racing Post Trophy winner Casamento. Trainer at around 3% with two-year-old debutantes but jockey booking catches the eye at least.
Havana Gold colt, cost 20,000 gns as a foal and €55,000 as a yearling. Dam Listed placed over 6f at two-years-old and out of half-sister to a Listed winner. Placed on second start at Ascot but well beaten at Leicester last time and others preferred.
Epaulette gelding, cost 13,000 gns as a foal and 12,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother largely moderate performers over further but dam was Listed-placed as a two-year-old over this trip. Probably not a good sign he's already gelded prior to debut.
Passing glance colt, full-brother to Reedcutter and half-brother to Tunnager Grove, a winner over this trip. Trainer in good recent form and has a respectable record with two-year-old debutantes. Worthy of respect in what looks like a suitable test.
Footstepsinthesand colt, cost €50,000 as a yearling. Dam distantly related to Derby winner New Approach. Well beaten on debut at Kempton, seemingly a little outpaced and should do better when stepped up in trip.
Lonhro colt, cost 50,000 gns as a yearling and 300,000 gns as a Breeze-Up purchase. Dam a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Holy Bull. Holds Group 1 entries including a Racing Post Trophy entry. Plenty to like on paper and yard capable of readying one.
Camacho colt, cost 50,000 gns as a yearling and half-brother to Listed winner Fanciful Angel amongst others. Trainer's debutantes often need the run and the yard are a little out of form at present.
Declaration Of War colt, cost 60,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a winner over this trip as a juvenile and half-sister to two Listed winners. Trainer had a debutante run well here at a big price on Friday but yard's runners often need their debut.
Dark Angel colt, cost €260,000 as a yearling. Dam a winner over this trip as a juvenile and half-sister to Group 2 winner Lilbourne Lad. Got the hang of things late on for his debut and likely to improve on that here. Should be thereabouts.
Iffraaj colt, cost 120,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to Group 3 winner Dabyah and dam a Group 3 winner Queen's Best (dam of Queen's Trust). Pedigree and debut effort both suggest he'll be better over further and best watched for now.
Captain Gerrard filly, bred to be better over further than this and well beaten on both her starts to date, including when failing to beat a rival home last time out.
Forecasts
Sam Gold (7/2), Alfarqad (9/2), Gronkowski (5/1), Reshaan (13/2), Fennaan (7/1), Cuban Heel (8/1), Carp Kid (12/1), Face Like Thunder (16/1), Battle Lines (33/1), Epaulement (40/1), Casa Comigo (40/1), Macho Mover (40/1), Pact Of Steel (50/1), Arlecchino's Arc (150/1), Boko Fittleworth (200/1), Peggie Sue (200/1)
Carp Kid and Reshaan are two interesting runners for the Richard Hannon stable and they had a winner here on Friday. However, preference is for newcomer GRONKOWSKI who is beautifully bred, cost a small fortune earlier this year and comes from a yard that can ready one for a debut.
- Gronkowski
- Carp Kid
- Reshaan
