22/1

Raven's Pass colt, cost €62,000 as a yearling and 110,000 gns at Breeze-Ups. Half-brother to Group 2 winning juvenile Donjuan Triumphant and Listed winner Caledonian Spring. Dam a juvenile winner. Yard capable of readying one; interesting runner.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 101

1/1

Galileo colt, full-brother to Irish Oaks winner Seventh Heaven and half-brother to Group 1 winner Crusade. Performed well in a Group 2 at the Curragh two starts back and form sets a very high standard for the rest to aim at; hard to beat.

Form: 03224

Cristal Spirit

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: W J Haggas

16/1

Nathaniel colt, cost 55,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a useful winner over this trip and dam a useful middle distance winner. Yard's newcomers certainly worthy of respect but stiff task on debut.

Form:

(13)

Dagian

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: Mrs A J Perrett

50/1

Dawn Approach gelding, cost 200,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a Listed winner over this trip and half-sister to Grade 2 winner Amira's Prince. Useful pedigree but trainer's newcomers often need the run and yard have been quiet of late.

Form:

(8)

Dark Spec²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 78

28/1

Dark Angel colt, half-brother to multiple stayers over middle distances and dam a 1,000 Guineas winner. Runner-up at Leicester on second start and didn't really improve at Sandown when sixth of 16. Needs to step up on that form in a big way.

Form: 826

(14)

Elwazir

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows

9/1

Frankel colt, cost 500,000 gns as a yearling. Related to multiple winners including Group 1 winner Speedy Boarding and dam a Listed winner over a little further than this. Beautifully bred but yard's juveniles often need their debut.

Form:

Global Spirit^h1³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Fresu| T: E A L Dunlop

100/1

Invincible Spirit colt, cost 120,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a full-sister to a US Grade 1 winner and half-sister to Group 1 winner Brando. Well beaten here on debut when very green. Needs plenty of improvement for the fitting of a first-time hood.

Form: 8

(2)

Iconic Boy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: D R C Elsworth

50/1

Cape Cross colt, half-brother to a winner over this trip and dam a Listed winner and sister to Listed winner Snoqualmie Boy. Yard's newcomers often in need of the experience but eye-catching jockey booking at least.

Form:

(1)

Recollect

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: L M Cumani

50/1

Invincible Spirit colt, half-brother to a couple of winners over this trip including at two-years-old. Trainer tends to take his time with his juveniles so others preferred.

Form:

(11)

Tahreek

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Sir Michael Stoute

28/1

Dansili colt, half-brother to Group 2 winner Mustajeeb amongst other winners. Yard capable of readying one but he's the owner's second-string judged on jockey bookings.

Form:

(12)

Thrave³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: H Candy

9/4

Sir Percy colt, cost £88,000 as a yearling. Dam a 7f winner and half-sister to Group 2 winner Stretarez and Group 3 winner Street Shaana. Nice debut over C&D, second of 13, and form looks good with some in behind running well since. Each-way claims.

Form: 2

(9)

Thunderhooves¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: J Ryan

100/1

Raven's Pass colt, cost 30,000 gns as a yearling and half-brother to Group 2 winner Silver Grecian and dam raced just once. Well beaten on debut and gives the impression he'll need more time.

Form: 8

(15)

Tommy Boy³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: A W Carroll

150/1

Camacho colt, cost €55,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to three winners including Group 3 winner Pleaseletmewin and dam a half-sister to Group 1 winner Rainbow Peak. Very poor debut over C&D and probably best watched with that effort in mind.

Form: 0

(7)

Vision Clear¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: E A L Dunlop

100/1

Soldier Hollow colt, cost €52,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to four winners including Group 3 winner Vif Monsieur. Improved from his debut when sixth of 13 at Newcastle but a lot more needed here and likely to struggle.

Form: 06

Forecasts

Coat Of Arms (1/1), Thrave (9/4), Court Of Justice (4/1), Elwazir (9/1), Cristal Spirit (16/1), Bacacarat (22/1), Dark Spec (28/1), Tahreek (28/1), Burford Brown (33/1), Recollect (50/1), Dagian (50/1), Iconic Boy (50/1), Global Spirit (100/1), Vision Clear (100/1), Thunderhooves (100/1), Tommy Boy (150/1)

COAT OF ARMS sets a very high standard for a maiden of this class and he's likely to be tough to beat. Bacacarat is an interesting newcomer for the in-form Andrew Balding stable while Thrave was impressive on debut and looks capable of running a place if taking another step forward.
