Off time: 18:16 | Winning time: 1m 12.72s

(2)

Sheila's Showcase³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Fran Berry| T: D J Coakley| OR: 82

5/1

Shared the spoils in a Newbury maiden before running a solid race in a much stronger contest at Ascot. Those two races were over 7f and this drop in trip may not be ideal.

Form: 318

(10)

Aristomachos³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: P & O Cole

20/1

Signs of ability in both starts at Windsor. Qualifies for a handicap mark after this and that is likely to be his next port of call.

Form: 06

(5)

Buniann

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: S & E Crisford

7/2

Tamayuz half-brother to Fakhoor and Amthaal, winners over 7f and 5f. Stable going particularly well and can ready one to win first time.

Form:

(7)

Intuitive¹⁷

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

11/1

A €44,000 son of Haatef out of a useful French 7½f AW two-year-old winner. Showed some promise on debut at Newbury, but looks a work in progress.

Form: 8

(6)

Jirnaas

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: W J Haggas

12/1

Showcasing colt who cost 85,000 gns as a foal and is from the family of top sprinter Tante Rose. Leading stable in fine form, so he is one to note in the market on debut.

Form:

(9)

Napanook¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: B J Meehan| OR: 79| BF

11/2

Placed in four of his five races. Failed to justify favouritism when runner-up at Catterick last time and looks vulnerable against a few of these rivals.

Form: 23242

(1)

Private Rocket¹¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| BF

3/1

Dark Angel colt who cost a hefty 280,000 euros as a yearling and whose dam was placed in Listed company over 5f as a juvenile. Too green to do himself justice on debut at Windsor in June and is likely to do better after his break.

Form: 0

(8)

Savoy Brown³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater

200/1

Well held on both starts, including when behind Sheila's Showcase at Ascot. Likely to do better when he goes handicapping.

Form: 40

(3)

City Of Love

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor

7/1

Daughter of Exceed And Excel who is a half-sister to a couple of winners from 6f to 1m4f. Represents leading connections and the betting will be the best guide to her chance on debut.

Form:

(4)

Lysander Belle³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan| T: George Scott

50/1

Out of the frame on both starts at Windsor and Ffos Las. She will be able to run in handicaps after this and she should be seen to better effect in that sphere.

Form: 56

Forecasts

Private Rocket (3/1), Buniann (7/2), Sheila's Showcase (5/1), Napanook (11/2), City Of Love (7/1), Intuitive (11/1), Jirnaas (12/1), Aristomachos (20/1), Lysander Belle (50/1), Savoy Brown (200/1)

Sheila's Showcase sets the form standard, but the drop in trip may not be in his favour, so it may pay to take a chance with one of the newcomers and the one which catches the eye is BUNIANN. He hails from a stable in fine form and may be sharp enough to make a winning debut. Fellow debutant Jirnaas is in the same ownership and looks another likely sort, a remark which also applies to City Of Love. Napanook has experience on his side and can figure, while it would be no surprise to see Private Rocket improve dramatically on his debut effort.
