Alsimsaam

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: Owen Burrows

14/1

Dark Angel colt that cost £100,000 as yearling. Dam (by Dubawi) is related to plenty of winners. Yard knows how to get one ready first time and is an interesting debutante.

Disruptor⁷⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans

9/4

Siyouni colt, cost £52,000 as a yearling. Encouraging debut at Kempton (5f, AW) when looking green early and then shaping like this extra furlong would very much suit. Should know more this time.

Form: 5

(6)

Keep It Country Tv

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: P Phelan

100/1

Already gelded son of Archipenko. Cheap purchase at just 1,000 gns and pedigree suggests this trip maybe on the sharp side. Probably best watched for yard that don't have many debut winners.

Form:

(4)

Reconnaissance

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

3/1

Second foal by Lope De Vega. Dam was placed at Listed level over 6f & 7f. She was also a winner as a two-year-old. Likely type on paper and a market check is very much needed on debut.

Recuerdame²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: S Dow

16/1

The Factor colt, cost $45,000 as a yearling and 75,000 gns as a Breeze-up purchase. Struggled on debut over this trip at Goodwood (good to firm) last month. Should come on for the experience but needs major improvement to be involved.

Form: 0

Twilight In Paris¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan

100/1

Sixth foal by Gale Force Ten out of the 5f winner Let Me Shine. 150/1 for debut at Windsor (5f, good) when readily outpaced. Should benefit from experience but minor role likely once more.

Form: 0

(3)

White Iverson¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: R Spencer

3/1

Son of Tale Of The Cat cost connections £30,000 at the breeze-up sales earlier this year. Shaped with real promise on debut at Yarmouth when hampered early and finishing well. That's the best piece of form on offer here and likely to go close

Form: 3

(2)

Miss Celestial

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

7/1

Daughter of Exceed And Excel that cost 180,000 gns. Plenty of winners in an interesting pedigree and she is likely to appreciate a bit further than this in time. Interesting to see what the market makes of her given her price tag.

Form:

(7)

Roxy Art

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Fran Berry| T: E A L Dunlop

25/1

Dutch Art filly that has a nice pedigree. Price rose from 115,000 gns as a foal to 175,000 gns as a yearling. Yard can get one ready and very much a likely player on debut so market check needed.

Forecasts

Disruptor (9/4), White Iverson (3/1), Reconnaissance (3/1), Miss Celestial (7/1), Alsimsaam (14/1), Recuerdame (16/1), Dragon Kuza (16/1), Roxy Art (25/1), Twilight In Paris (100/1), Keep It Country Tv (100/1)

White Iverson shaped well on debut and brings the best piece of form to the table. It would be no surprise if this were to go to a newcomer however and Alsimsaam, Reconnaissance and ROXY ART are all of interest. The selection is the last named who has a lovely pedigree and it would be no surprise where she to be up to winning this on debut.
