James Street^t¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: H Palmer| D

7/4

Gale Force Ten colt, cost €65,000 as a yearling and 130,000 gns as a two-year-old. Ran a hugely promising close second on debut but didn't necessarily build on that when winning second up. Sets the standard but stable could be in better form.

Form: 21

Lahessar⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: George Scott| BF

9/2

Son of Exceed And Excel out of a half-sister to Group 1 winner Dominant, and cost 120,000 gns as a yearling. Made a very promising debut but below that when a beaten favourite on his second start. However was probably unsuited by slow pace.

Form: 66

Lordsbridge Boy³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M Dwyer| T: D K Ivory

66/1

Gelded Equiano half-brother to 5f/6f winner Hannahs Turn out of a juvenile 6f winner. Sent off at triple figure odds and well tailed off on debut. Best watched.

Form: 0

Qutob

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills

11/10

Son of Acclamation and price rose to £160,000 as a yearling. Likely to need further in due course and stable could be in better form but one to note on debut for powerful connections.

Show The World²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes

16/1

Showcasing colt whose sales price rose to 58,000 gns as a yearling. However showed little on debut and needs to find significant improvement in this company.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Qutob (11/10), James Street (7/4), Lahessar (9/2), Regular (7/1), Show The World (16/1), Lordsbridge Boy (66/1)

James Street will be a popular favourite following his second start win but he looks to need further and while it would be no surprise to see him score again, he is unlikely to offer value. Lahessar has also shown decent ability so far and could find significant improvement in a stronger run race after being well fancied on his second start.. Qutob and Regular should be noted in the betting .
