20/1
65,000gns yearling, £1,000 Don May 2018. Third foal. Half-brother to 5f (at two)/6f winner Time And Place and 7f (at two)/1m2f winner Belle Travers. Dam 6f (two) Listed winner. Stable 50% with its few turf juveniles this season. Market check.

6/5
Best effort in four starts to date was when beaten 1½L at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) last month. Below that level on AW last time, but prominent style suits this circuit and he could be heavily involved.

12/1
50-1 and beaten 15L on debut at Nottingham in May. Should be capable of improving on that, but may have to wait for other days.

Glorious Jem

10/1
Fifth live foal. Closely related to 6f/7f AW winner Excellent Jem. Dam 1m1f-1m4f winner. Stable's runners in decent form, though its turf juvenile runners are at a lower-than-average 7% strike-rate this season. Market check probably prudent.

Preacher Man19

1/1
Has gone close at both Ascot (7f, good) and more recently Ffos Las (7½f, good). Looks one of the leading contenders here on that evidence.

16/1
0-18 ad despite finishing a distant second last time over C&D, she looks out of her depth against the main protagonists here.

Gifts At Dawn39
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: Jane Elliott(3)| T: R E Barr
100/1
Well beaten in two starts at Chelmsford and Thirsk over 1m2f/1m4f so far. Marked drop in trip today. Can only watch.

One For Brad16
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Berry| OR:  41
100/1
Well beaten in all three starts to date, who of them over C&D. Readily opposed.

Forecasts

Preacher Man (1/1), Shawaamekh (6/5), Glorious Jem (10/1), Calin's Lad (12/1), Dominannie (16/1), Owl John (20/1), Gifts At Dawn (100/1), One For Brad (100/1)

Verdict

Not much depth here. Owl John is an interesting newcomer from a stable who's few juveniles have done well this season. A good debut would not surprise. However, SHAWAAMEKH has some invaluable experience and is given the vote as his style of racing lends itself to this track. Preacher Man looks a danger.
