(12)

Archdeacon

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory

25/1

Archipenko gelding who cost 30,000gns as a yearling. Pedigree suggests he may improve for a bit further than this, so best watched here.

Form:

(10)

Catch The Cuban

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: J R Boyle

16/1

Havana Gold colt who cost 105,000gns as a two-year-old and not the worst pedigree on offer here, but yard not known for their juvenile success.

Form:

(3)

Concierge

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: George Scott

7/1

Society Rock gelding who cost £61,000 as a yearling. Speed on the sire's side of the pedigree, but also a half-brother to a useful sprinter. Worth a market check on debut.

Form:

(16)

Deadly Force

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: D R Lanigan

16/1

Lethal Force colt who cost 35,000gns as a yearling, though pedigree is hardly the most exciting and yard not known for their debut winners.

Form:

(15)

Glory

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

6/1

Olympic Glory colt out of a New Approach mare who cost 30,000gns as a yearling. Sire has had few progeny on the track yet but won over 6f at two.

Form:

(9)

Meraki

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Fran Berry| T: H Candy

8/1

Heeraat gelding who cost €24,000 as a yearling. His sire was a speedy type, though his dam is more of a stamina influence.

Form:

(14)

Pentland Lad

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: H Spiller

50/1

Camacho colt and a half-brother to a winner over this trip, but others have pedigree that are more suggestive of a debut winner.

Form:

(2)

Shanghai Grace

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Winston| T: C Hills

9/2

Kyllachy colt who cost 68,000gns as a yearling. Related to a few winners, including over this trip and as a juvenile, so he's one of the likelier ones here.

Form:

(4)

Storm Shelter

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: Tom Clover

8/1

Gale Force Ten gelding who cost 38,000gns as a yearling. Related to a few winners but could improve for an extra couple of furlongs in time.

Form:

(6)

Sussex Solo

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: L A Dace

33/1

Compton Place colt related to a couple of winners, but entitled to find this too tricky a debut assignment based on pedigree.

Form:

(7)

Swiper

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

4/1

Clodovil colt who cost £50,000 as a yearling, bred to get a bit further than this in time but yard tend to do well with two-year-olds.

Form:

(11)

Time Trialist^h1

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

80/1

Footstepsinthesand gelding who makes his debut here for a yard who are 0/82 with juveniles in the past five years, and a concern he is fitted with a hood for this debut.

Form:

(5)

Watchmyeverymove

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S C Williams

12/1

War Command colt who cost 50,000gns as a two-year-old. Related to a few modest winners, but that does at least including some juvenile winning form.

Form:

(8)

Halle's Harbour

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Karen George

100/1

Harbour Watch filly who cost 9,500gns as a yearling. Related to a few winners of this trip/at two, but likely to improve for the run.

Form:

(13)

Relative Ease

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: J S Moore

66/1

Sayif filly with a decent amount of speed in her pedigree, but yard currently 54 runners without a winner and she's best watched.

Form:

(1)

Song of The Isles

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: H Main

25/1

Tagula filly who cost £16,000 as a yearling, and not enough in the pedigree to suggest she'll be up to winning this on debut.

Form:

Forecasts

Swiper (4/1), Shanghai Grace (9/2), Glory (6/1), Concierge (7/1), Meraki (8/1), Storm Shelter (8/1), Watchmyeverymove (12/1), Catch The Cuban (16/1), Deadly Force (16/1), Archdeacon (25/1), Song of The Isles (25/1), Sussex Solo (33/1), Pentland Lad (50/1), Relative Ease (66/1), Time Trialist (80/1), Halle's Harbour (100/1)

Obviously a very difficult puzzle given none of these have seen a racecourse before, but the tentative suggestion is GLORY. We still don't know all that much about first-season sire Olympic Glory, but he won over this trip as a juvenile, and the selection here looks likely to be better suited to this as an introduction compared to many of his rivals here. Potential dangers include Shanghai Grace and Concierge.
