Barend Boy⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer| BF

3/1

Oasis Dream colt, cost 60,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a half-sister to a juvenile Group 2 winner amongst others. Fair effort in defeat on debut last month but this looks tougher and needs to put the experience to good use.

Form: 2

Fanaar

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas

7/1

Dark Angel colt, cost £240,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to a middle distance winner and dam a half-sister to a Listed winner. Pedigree looks more middle distance than sprint but can't be ruled out given the yard's record with newcomers.

Form:

Fly The Nest

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

5/2

Kodiac colt, cost €200,000 as a yearling. Full brother to juvenile 6f winner and dam a half-sister to a Group 3 winner. Yard in flying form and newcomers often go well.

Konchek

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

2/1

Lethal Force colt, cost 85,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to four winners, largely over sprint trips and dam a Group winning sprinter. Of obvious interest for these connections on debut.

Oloroso

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding

40/1

Fast Company colt, cost 27,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a winning sprinter, dam a winner over further and related to some middle distance winners. Market can reveal expectations.

Coco Cheval

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon

16/1

Kyllachy filly, cost €57,000 as a yearling. Dam a half-sister to a Group 2 winner. Yard capable of readying one for debut and the booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye. Not dismissed.

Forecasts

Konchek (2/1), Fly The Nest (5/2), Barend Boy (3/1), Fanaar (7/1), Smile A Mile (10/1), Coco Cheval (16/1), Oloroso (40/1)

FLY THE NEST makes plenty of appeal for a yard flying at present and their debutantes are always worthy of respect. Konchek is another well-related type who hails from a yard who do well with their juvenile sprinters. Smile A Mile was expected to do better on debut and shouldn't be taken lightly with experience under his belt.
