Sky Defender²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 85

7/2

Second in a Goodwood maiden on debut and bounced back from disappointing run in a valuable contest at York to score at Musselburgh. Set tough task at Catterick on handicap debut but still sets the standard. Distance may be a query.

Drumshanbo Destiny²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore

33/1

Nathaniel half-brother to juvenile 6f winner Sanandaj and 6f-1m winner Miss Osier. Represents last year's winning stable but well held on debut and best watched.

Form: 7

Ideological⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| BF| CD

8/15

Daughter of Dawn Approach who made a winning debut over this C&D and ran to a similar standard when a close second at Newcastle. Still looked green so open to plenty of improvement.

Form: 12

(5)

Twenty Years On¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

12/1

25,000 gns yearling finished a well held third on debut and ran below that when never figuring at York. Easy to oppose.

Form: 30

(8)

Irish Art²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S Donohoe| T: D R Lanigan

66/1

Gelded son of Dutch Art who cost 20,000 gns as a yearling and has blown the start in two well beaten runs so far. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 80

(6)

Victoriano¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁵⁾| T: A Watson

8/1

Teofilo colt who fetched €20,000 as a yearling. Ran to a similar moderate standard in both starts to date and needs to improve.

Form: 66

(1)

Robert L'Echelle

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: H Morrison

25/1

Son of Big Bad Bob and likely to need further in time. Stable's runners rarely win on debut and one to watch.

Willkommen⁷¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti

40/1

Epaulette colt bought cheaply for 4,000 gns by his trainer. Stable won this two year's ago but showed little on debut and others preferred.

Form: 8

(4)

Breezing

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: L Morris| T: S Kirk

40/1

Daughter of Garswood fetched 7,000 gns as a foal and £7,000 as a yearling. Stamina a query on debut for stable who are quiet at present.

Forecasts

Ideological (8/15), Sky Defender (7/2), Victoriano (8/1), Twenty Years On (12/1), Robert L'Echelle (25/1), Drumshanbo Destiny (33/1), Willkommen (40/1), Breezing (40/1), Irish Art (66/1)

Sky Defender holds obvious credentials in a race lacking any depth providing he stays the trip, however preference is for IDEOLOGICAL who has shown plenty of ability in two starts to date and has shaped as though there's a lot more to come for her powerful stable. There's little else that catches the eye but Victoriano has shown enough to place.
