Fulfilled the promise of debut run when winning a maiden at Newbury in August. Has to concede weight all round, but looks useful and leading stable is starting to hit form.
Plenty of promise in 6f novice/maiden contests at this venue last summer. Looks sure to make a nice three-year-old and can make his presence felt.
Invincible Spirit colt who is a half-brother to Group 2 winner Gregorian. Showed up for a long way on debut at Newmarket and should strip fitter this time.
Signs of ability in both starts at Nottingham and Newbury. Looks a work in progress and is probably one for handicaps further down the line.
Mastercraftsman colt who is a half-brother to a winner over this trip. Raced prominently for a long way, though ultimately well beaten, on debut at Newmarket and should improve.
Sepoy colt who cost €120,000 as a two-year-old (increased from yearling price tag). Fair fifth of 13 on debut at Kempton in October, but leading owner also has Alrahaal, who looks a stronger contender. Tongue tied for the first time
Dutch Art colt who cost 50,000 gns as a foal and €110,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to five winners including two pattern-level performers. Only 16th of 19 on debut at Newmarket, but shaped better than his finishing position suggests.
Gelded son of Equiano who fetched 20,000 gns as a yearling and is a brother to 7f two-year-old winner Sea Shack. Likely to need this debut run, but is worth a check in the betting.
Lethal Force colt who was a €130,000 purchase as a yearling and is a half-brother to three winners. Pleasing debut over 6f at Kempton in November and looks a live contender for his leading stable.
Kodiac colt who cost €62,000 as a foal and €64,000 as a yearling. Dam is a half-sister to a Listed winner over 2m. Always in rear on debut at Newmarket and may need more time to develop.
Dark Angel half-sister to three winners, including Carry On Derryck and Tarboosh. Raced keenly when second of eight on debut at Kempton and should progress with that run under her belt.
Forecasts
Qaroun (9/4), Alrahaal (4/1), Epic Challenge (15/2), Sir Commander (8/1), Be My Angel (8/1), Haader (11/1), Calendimaggio (14/1), Change Maker (16/1), Stormer (25/1), Mirbat (33/1), Sea Millions (33/1)
Alrahaal has already shown a fair level of ability and promises to develop into a useful thee-year-old, while Be My Angel shaped well on debut along with Calendimaggio and Sir Commander. They will have to progress to match strides with QAROUN, however. The only winner in the field, he can successfully concede weight all round after impressing as a juvenile. Sea Millions is an interesting newcomer who is worth noting in the betting.
- Qaroun
- Alrahaal
- Sir Commander
