Scored over just shy of a mile on turf at Lingfield (good to soft) in August, run with credit both starts since off this mark and rates a player on AW bow for top yard.
Narrow winner of novice auction over 7f here in August, trailed home last (lame) at Chester in sole outing since and goes up in trip now. Others have more in their favour.
Sepoy colt, cost 15,000 gns as a foal and 40,000 gns as a yearling, made just an average start on turf at Newbury last month (7f, good) but is likely to prove much better in time.
Colt by Equiano out of Pretty Bonnie (a Listed placed 5f to 6f winner), fourth of 10 in Lingfield maiden (1m, AW) on debut last month and should improve for it.
Exceed And Excel colt, cost 150,000 gns as a yearling. Stable have had good season with this age group but his debut effort lacked promise over 7f on good ground at Sandown.
£38,000 purchase with a good AW pedigree being a full-brother to Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile runner-up Ready's Echo. Made a modest over 1m at Chelmsford nine days ago, capable of improving for the experience.
Finished more than 16L in arrears, last of six, in C&D maiden on debut last month having been sent off an 80/1 poke. Yard not noted for two-year-old winners and probably going to be one for next season and further.
Hurricane Run colt cost €50,000 as a yearling, brother to some useful winners, finished last of seven on debut at Yarmouth last month over 7f (soft). Will likely want time and a longer trip again before being seen to best effect.
Tapit colt is a half-brother to several winners, including very smart winner up to 1m½f Rainbow View. Debuts for powerful yard and one to keep a close eye on.
Game winner on debut at Carlisle (7f, heavy) last month on debut, upped in trip and from respected yard, further progress appears likely.
Roderic O'connor filly whose dam was unraced half-sister to very smart 6f winner Danetime. Betting can provide best guide to expectations on debut. Yard 0-10 with two-year-olds in 2017 so far.

Craving (9/4), Wissahickon (7/2), Yaafour (7/2), Battle Lines (11/2), Wajaaha (6/1), Ready To Impress (9/1), Rusper (11/1), Ocean Voyage (12/1), The Throstles (12/1), Isle Of Man (40/1), Twister (66/1), Seaborough (100/1), Lisnamoyle Lady (100/1)
OCEAN VOYAGE made a winning start in the mud at Carlisle last month and should be able to handle this change of surface and longer trip now. That being the case, the filly has fair claims of maintaining her unbeaten record. Lingfield turf winner Yaafour is also expected to have a leading say on his turf bow for the Hannon team and they appear as much the best of those with form. The Gosden newcomer Wissahickon has potential on paper and should be monitored closely as such while Rusper is a potential improver.
