Newcomer by Bated Breath out of a 1m4f winner. This dam's first foal but from a family of middle distance horses so this likely to be on sharp side although leading yard's newcomers always warrant a check of the market.
Epaulette Gelding who cost £12,000 as a two-year-old was 7¾L seventh of 11 on debut at Nottingham. Ran green before getting the hang of things late on. Much more needed but improvement likely.
Gelding by Thewayyouare who was bought for €10,500 as a foal and is a half-brother to two winners over sprint distances. Ran with stablemate I Know How at Nottingham finishing sixth of 11 beaten 6L. Ran with promise there and not ruled out.
Gelded son of Swiss Spirit out of a maiden effective over 7f. Dam half-sister to a 1m2f winner and a Listed placed 6f-8f winner. Trainer one from 10 with turf two-year olds although that winner was a debutant.
£30,000 yearling by Lope De Vega out of a dam by Montjeu placed over 1m at two. Looks to have a middle distance pedigree and trainer has a moderate strike rate with two-year olds.
Gelding has been second in both starts to date. Came from well back in maiden at Haydock before employing forceful tactics here when he hung left to be caught late on. Notably strong jockey booked which must help so should go well.
Speedy pedigree by Monsieur Bond out of an Invincible Spirit mare but showed little of that when 16L 10th of 11 on debut at Pontefract. Hard to make a case for on that showing.
Back from a layoff after being tailed off on debut at Ripon. Impossible to fancy on that showing and trainer has very few two-year old winners.
Daughter of Iffraaj who cost 17,000gns as a yearling out of a dam who won over 7f. Looks to be a speedy enough pedigree so a little surprising her debut comes so late on. Market should guide here.
230,000gns two-year old by prolific sire Dark Angel. Half-sister to a winner over 12f and a winner over 6f and 7f. Trainer having a fine season and leading jockey makes trip north so very much respected on debut.
Didn't make a step forward when 7L sixth of 11 at Pontefract last time after a reasonably promising debut. More needed here and looks the sort for handicaps after this.
€30,000 yearling by Havana Gold is a half-sister to eight winners most of which have been sprinters. One of three for leading trainer here and jockey booking suggests high up the pecking order. Likely to go well on debut.
19½ last of twelve on debut at Catterick over 7f when she was in the rear throughout. Impossible to make a case for on that evidence.
€100,000 yearling by Kodiac, half-sister to three winners including 7f Group-Two winner Lahaleeb who later won a 1m2f Canadian Group-One. Trainer has an exceptional strike rate so very much on the shortlist on debut.
Forecasts
Wrenthorpe (7/4), Rux Ruxx (4/1), Tallow (9/2), Aljady (8/1), Spanish Mane (11/1), Royal Prospect (20/1), I Know How (22/1), Mayalee (22/1), Scenic River (25/1), Whatwouldyouknow (33/1), Swissie (66/1), Lady Sophiebella (100/1), Symphonic (125/1), Laharna (125/1)
While a pair of second placed efforts give Wrenthorpe the best form in this field he looks vulnerable with seven newcomers in opposition. Debutant TALLOW is worth chancing here for the prolific William Haggas yard. Tallow is well related and by Kodiac, a prolific sire of fast two-year olds. The other notably eye-catching pedigree is the field is that of Rux Ruxx for Andrew Balding and she also merits maximum respect.
