Arden Warrior

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson

15/2

Bought for 32,000 guineas at Tatts sales last year (price didn't increase from yearling sales), bred to have a bit of speed and yard 2-5 with their 2-y-o's here.

Form:

(10)

Don Armado

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams

6/1

Cost 28,000 guineas at Tatts Guineas sales last year, speed in the pedigree but yard not known for debut 2-y-o winners. Best watched unless strong in market.

Form:

(11)

Five Helmets²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe

16/1

Likely to want a bit further in time, looked to need more experience when well beaten at Beverley on debut and others makes more appeal.

Form: 8

(3)

Kenoughty¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hughes

50/1

No great promise to be taken from his Newmarket debut earlier in the month, and needs plenty more here. Others readily preferred.

Form: 0

(7)

Oloroso²²

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

9/1

Half-brother to an AW winner in Harlequin Storm, last of six on debut behind the useful Konchek but penny was dropping late and he's likely to progress. One of the more likely ones.

Form: 6

(2)

So Hi Storm

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke

8/1

E35,000 purchase at Goffs Orby sales last year,half-brother to useful types Xtension and A Huge Dream, both graded winners abroad. Yard just 1-11 with their 2-y-o's here last five seasons but on paper, makes some appeal.

Form:

(4)

Greyzee⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: William Carson| T: B R Millman

25/1

Green and last of seven on debut here in April, may fare better here as ground won't be so deep but needs plenty more regardless.

Form: 7

(8)

Gunforhire

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

7/1

Price decreased as he went through the ring, not too much to be taken from the pedigree and main plus point is the yard form with their 2-y-o's here, with a 19% strike rate.

Form:

(1)

Seductive Moment

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: C & M Johnston

5/4

12,000 guineas purchase from Tatts sales last September, pedigree suggest this will be an absolute minimum trip for her but yard doing well with their 2-y-o's this year and have already introduced a couple of decent ones at the track.

Form:

(6)

Nananita¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane

33/1

Very green on debut and only beat one home, although not a dreadful effort and there was some promise to be taken from it. Needs plenty of improvement today though, and likely to find others quicker.

Form: 9

Non-Runners

(9)

Lethal Lover

Weight: 8-9| Age: 2

T: C G Cox J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Seductive Moment (5/4), Don Armado (6/1), Lethal Lover (6/1), Gunforhire (7/1), Arden Warrior (15/2), So Hi Storm (8/1), Oloroso (9/1), Five Helmets (16/1), Greyzee (25/1), Nananita (33/1), Kenoughty (50/1)

Even more guesswork required, with many of these making their debuts. Mark Johnston has introduced a couple of good 2-y-o's here at Windsor and whilst SEDUCTIVE MOMENT may not be of the class of those, she makes plenty of appeal here. Arden Warrior represents a yard with a decent strike rate here and could go well, as might So Hi Storm. As ever, the market is likely to prove the most informative guide and should be monitored closely.
