Global Hero¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: S bin Suroor

11/10

320,000 guineas Dubawi colt made the best possible start when scoring in good stlye on debut at Salisbury earlier this month over a mile. Drops back a furlong and carries his penalty but sets a good standard and should go well again.

Form: 1

Attainment³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: J Tate

12/1

Nicely bred Exceed And Excel colt who was very green on debut at Newmarket (7f) last month and after a slow start recovered before tiring a furlong out. Should know more now and improvement is quite likely.

Form: 7

(10)

Blue Battalion¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J Gallagher

200/1

Cityscape colt, half-brother to decent sorts Quench Dolly and Gabbiano. Looked clueless on debut at Ffos Las recenlty being completely tailed off and looks as though he'll need plenty more time.

Glenn Miller

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Meade

16/1

Exceed And Excelt colt, dam from family of this summer's Royal Ascot winner Hunting Horn. Yard capable of readying juveniles first time out so well worth a market check.

Form:

Global Quality³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: G Mosse| T: C Hills

8/1

80,000 guineas son of No Nay Never, made a satisfactory debut at Newbury 7f maiden last month running well for much of the way before keeping on at one pace to be fifth. Should improve.

Form: 5

(4)

House Of Kings¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C G Cox

5/2

Good third in debut last month in Newbury 7f maiden, then found just one too good when caught close home at Ffos Las three weeks ago. Capable of winning races and his experience counts for plenty here so rates a contender.

Form: 32

(8)

John Clare³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs P Sly

100/1

Poet's Voice colt who has shaped as though he'll do better over further and in handicap company having finished mid division last time at Newmarket, a step forward on from debut.

Form: 97

(7)

Manton Warrior¹⁰²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M Dwyer| T: B J Meehan

66/1

€62,000 War Command colt finished seventh in hot maiden won by subsequent Group 1 winner Advertise at Newbury in May, but only 11th (although not beaten far) at same track last time. Chance if market indicates some confidence.

Form: 70

(11)

Reeth

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden

20/1

Kodiac colt relating to a couple of decent winners. Represents top yard but holds no fancy entries so betting should suggest just what is expected on debut.

Form:

(9)

Chicago Doll²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: M Harley| T: A King| BF

12/1

Not disgraced when fifth on debut at Newbury then stayed on well closing stages at Lingfield AW last time to be nearest at finish, beaten a length. Yard does very well with small Flat string and a place is not out of the question.

Form: 53

(3)

Double Coffee

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: William Carson| T: P W Hiatt

200/1

Mawatheeq filly, half-sister to three individual winners. Yard not known for juvenile successes and likely to be better for this debut experience in a decent event.

Form:

Forecasts

Global Hero (11/10), House Of Kings (5/2), Global Quality (8/1), Attainment (12/1), Chicago Doll (12/1), Glenn Miller (16/1), Reeth (20/1), Manton Warrior (66/1), John Clare (100/1), Double Coffee (200/1), Blue Battalion (200/1)

Although he has to give away his winner's penalty, Godolphin's GLOBAL HERO is fancied to make it 2-2 after impressing in victory at Salisbury on debut. House of Kings looks best of those with previous experience and could take advantage of any flaws in the selection, while Attainment shaped like a future winner when seventh on debut last month. There could also be better to come form Chicago Doll, Manton Warrior and Global Quality while newcomers Glenn Miller and Reeth are also worth considering in an interesting event.
