Home bred Arabian Gleam gelding out of a poor dam. Makes a belated debut and it would be a surprise if he proved good enough.

Down the field in two starts to date including over a mile here (good-to-firm) last time out. Probably best watched at present.

50/1
Gelded son of Harbour Watch who cost 8,000 gns as a yearling and is from the family of a couple of decent performers over 6f. Beaten 16L on debut and he has a lot of improvement to find.

4/1
Invincible Spirit colt who is a half-brother to Group 2 winner Gregorian. Handles soft ground and his Goodwood third when beaten less than a length by two 80+ rated rivals looks solid enough.

5/6
Fourth to a subsequent Group winner on debut and the runner-up has also hacked up since. Shaped as though he was ready for a mile that day and stable, who have a modest strike rate here, are not hitting the target with their customary regularity.

Picked up for 3,000 gns in February. By Sir Percy out of a modest dual AW sprint winner and probably best watched on this occasion.

Cost 38,000 gns as a yearling and bred with plenty of speed on both sides of pedigree. Showed little on debut and cheekpieces fitted now.

9/2
Cost 40,000 gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to the top-class 7f-1m winner Safety Check. No match for the useful Emaraaty on debut in April but had a couple of winners behind. Her pedigree makes a win of any description a priority.

10/1
Official rating of 66 suggests he is punching several divisions above his weight even given his best effort came here on soft ground.

Has been temperamental ahead of both starts and turned in a poor display last time. Hood fitted now and she is one to have reservations about.

Forecasts

Star Shield (5/6), Calendimaggio (4/1), Runway (9/2), Scenic River (10/1), Tockholes (10/1), Shikoba (16/1), Waddington (25/1), Box And Cox (50/1), Billy Wedge (100/1), Tangasseri (100/1), Gleaming Arch (150/1)

Verdict

Star Shield will have his followers having chased home two subsequent winner on debut including the useful Naval Intelligence. However, his yard are just 3-22 here and are having a quiet summer by their standards. Additionally he looked ready for further and preference is for CALENDIMAGGIO who ran to a mark in the low 80s at Goodwood on a soft surface. Runway caught the eye on debut when staying on to take second with a couple of future handicap winners of marks in the mid-70s behind.
  1. Calendimaggio
  2. Star Shield
  3. Runway
