25/1
€80,000 yearling. Half-brother to four winners including dual Group 1 winner Almandin. Stable reasonably quiet and not noted for debut winners. Probably one to watch.

7/2
Seventh foal. Half-brother to 6f-7f juvenile scorer Cursory Glance (inc Group 1). Stable in good form and has 14% strike rate with AW juveniles. Can probably make an impact on debut.

20/1
16-1 and beaten 14L on debut at Redcar (1m, soft) last month. Should improve for that experience. Half-brother to a 6f Polytrack winner. Probably best watched again this time.

1/2
Has been beaten favourite at both Ascot (7f) and Newmarket (1m) so far. Since gelded. Steps up again in trip, represents top connections and already has best form in this race. No surprise if he breaks his duck.

Sezim22
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian
4/1
12-1 and never much of a threat on debut when beaten 8L at Newbury last month. Stable's runners can come on significantly for their first run, while this step up in trip also gives cause for optimism. Interesting.

Shir Khan10
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: P & O Cole
33/1
50-1 and looked relatively moderate on debut at Nottingham. Needs plenty of improvement to figure in this field.

Brinkleys Katie9
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: Paul George
40/1
Made significant improvement on her debut run when beaten just over 5L at Chelmsford (1m2f) last time. Couldn't rule out a similar leap forward, and if she takes it then she should be in the mix.

Tattenhams
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-11| J: N Mackay| T: A West
80/1
Eighth foal. Half-sister to 1m winner Dutch Lady. Dam placed over 7f. Stable without a two-year-old winner this year. Best watched on debut.

Forecasts

Magic Illusion (1/2), Blowing Dixie (7/2), Sezim (4/1), Lucipherus (20/1), Achaeus (25/1), Shir Khan (33/1), Brooklyn Boy (40/1), Brinkleys Katie (40/1), Tattenhams (80/1)

Verdict

Not a huge amount of depth to this division and, with Magic Illusion having been turned over twice when market leader, it could pay to look elsewhere. Brinkleys Katie is an interesting potential improver, as is SEZIM, who is the tentative suggestion to come on plenty for his debut now upped in trip. Blowing Dixie could get involved on his debut.
