Beauty Concept¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 74

6/4

Best effort in five attempts when just touched off in a similar contest at Leicester. Strong claims on that effort even though he clearly has his limitations.

Form: 84382

Es Que Magic¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: A M Hales

50/1

Es Que Love colt who cost €6,000 as a yearling and whose dam won over 1m as a juvenile. Fifth of seven on debut at Catterick and ought to improve for the experience.

Form: 5

(3)

Fast Art

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: S Durack

33/1

Fast Company colt who fetched £7,000 this year and is a half-brother to three winners. Best watched on debut unless there is market support for him.

(4)

Fitwood Star

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: P R Chamings

33/1

Archipenko colt whose dam won over 1m2f. Should stay well in due course, but is probably best watched on this first appearance on the racecourse.

Ginge N Tonic

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Ffrench| T: A West

16/1

Sixties Icon colt who cost only £4,500 this year but is a brother to a 7f winner in Italy. Best watched unless the money comes for him.

Knowing

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe

8/1

Son of Derby hero Pour Moi from the family of Group 1 winner Gamut. Bred to stay well and is likely to be sharper for this debut run.

Rambaldi

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Yuga Kawada| T: M Botti

5/1

Gelded son of Rip Van Winkle who cost £18,000 as a yearling and whose dam was placed over 1m2f on the AW. Stable can ready a newcomer so one to keep an eye on in the betting.

Form:

(9)

Sea Art

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: W J Knight

25/1

Born To Sea colt who has plenty of stamina in his pedigree. Looks a long-term prospect on breeding so a watching brief is advised on debut.

Form:

(6)

Wave Walker

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: S Kirk

7/1

Son of Footstepsinthesand and a half-brother to a 1m winner on the AW. One of the more likely debutants, but the market will be the best guide to his chance.

Form:

(11)

Fragrant Belle

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S Donohoe| T: R M Beckett

8/1

Sir Percy filly whose dam won over 1m and is a half-sister to three winners. Stable does well with its fillies and this one is worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Penfriend¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch| T: M Blanshard

100/1

Down the field in both starts at this track and Kempton. Hard to envisage her getting in the shake-up and nurseries may see her in a better light.

Form: 97

(7)

Queen of Jumeirah¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: M Dwyer| T: A M Balding

5/1

Quiet debut at Newbury, but shaped with more promise when third of five in a similar race at Brighton where she met trouble in running. Needs to improve again, but that is quite possible.

Form: 03

Forecasts

Beauty Concept (6/4), Queen of Jumeirah (5/1), Rambaldi (5/1), Wave Walker (7/1), Fragrant Belle (8/1), Knowing (8/1), Ginge N Tonic (16/1), Sea Art (25/1), Fitwood Star (33/1), Fast Art (33/1), Es Que Magic (50/1), Penfriend (100/1)

With so many debutants in this contest, it is hard to be dogmatic about the outcome. BEAUTY CONCEPT and Queen Of Jumeirah could well fight out the finish and the former's Leicester second earns her the vote, but both are vulnerable to a newcomer with ability and the ones which most catch the eye in that respect are Fragrant Belle, Wave Walker and Rambaldi.
