Hard to know what to make of this one after a very long absence having shown some form in France when last seen. Now makes his stable debut having changed hands for just 1,000 guineas recently.
Well held last time out having been very green on her debut some 8 months previously. Slow away last time and has an awkward draw this time; hard to make a case for.
Invincible Spirit colt who makes his debut here. Dam was a winner and closely related to a winner at up to 1m Whipper and the 1m2f winner Divine Proportions who were both high class; type the yard do well with.
Only one race so far and that showed him to be at a fair level although he was seen to maximum effect off the front. Could put his experience to good use here but may find one or two too good.
Looked rather backward for his debut over 7f on the AW (slow away) and only plugged on late to beat a few home. Would appear that he would need some time and a greater distance to be seen to best effect.
Hooded for his debut and handed a rather awkward draw on the outside of the field. Brother to 1m winner Kenbest and half-brother to 1m2f winner Maybe River; dam also a winner at 1m2f.
Never ran as a two-year-old having cost 100,000 guineas when that age. Half-brother to several winners with the dam also a winner at up to 1m2f. Tongue-tie on for his debut and handed an outside draw.
Not only does his pedigree make plenty of appeal but so did his initial effort as a juvenile (not given a hard race; shaped well). There was still some inexperience in his sole run this year but looks just the type to improve in this sort of event.
Has the look of one who is being brought along gradually having come back from 5 months off last time over 7f at Goodwood on soft ground. Needs another run for a mark and it looks to be handicaps next for him; difficult draw.
Given one run as a juvenile on the AW late in the year she looked green but gradually improved through the race but was handled considerately. Sure to step up on that performance in time once her yard starts to fire.
Two runs so far and needs this run for a mark before she heads into handicaps where she will have a far more realistic chance. Well backed last time but didn't show that much on the Southwell Fibresand.
Debutante from a good yard; half-sister to a winner at up to 1m2f Beverley Bullet. Dam was a two-year-old 5f winner. Likely to need this and others offer more solid options.
Forecasts
Ledham (1/2), Sir Commander (4/1), Act Of Bravery (7/1), Poppy Love (12/1), Fascinator (14/1), Giovanni Acuto (25/1), Documenting (28/1), Global Hope (33/1), Goldfox Girl (33/1), Blistering Bob (40/1), Distant Chimes (50/1), Neat 'n Nifty (100/1)
LEDHAM looks a typical Sir Michael Stoute sort who will improve through the year having been given two very considerate but educational runs so far which will stand him in good stead here. Sir Commander looks a handicap type who needs this run for a mark and he should run well although the draw hasn’t been kind. The bigger dangers may well come from the newcomers headed by Act Of Bravery along with Giovanni Acuto who is hooded for his debut but will need to be useful to win from his wide draw. Fascinator is another one to watch for the future once her stable start to show some spark.
