Badayel

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows

9/1

Havana Gold colt who's price shot up from €23,000 as a foal to 110,000 gns as a yearling. Dam 6f winner and placed at Listed level. Interesting newcomer and market will be a good guide.

(1)

Corrida De Toros

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: E De Giles

28/1

Lope De Vega colt that cost 35,000 gns as a yearling. Related to several winners and is appealing on paper. Newcomer to note.

Dark Poet¹³⁴

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

11/2

Lethal Force sire that was slowly away and never on terms over this trip at Newbury (good to firm) on debut. Will need to improve on that a lot here.

Form: 0

(7)

Fortissimo¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston

3/1

77,000 gns yearling that showed the benefit of experience when running a cracker on second start over C&D when only collared on the line having made the running. Likely to make another bold bid from the front.

Form: 52

(3)

Kodiac Pride³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

5/6

Already gelded son of Kodiac that fetched 100,000 gns as a yearling. Shaped with lots of promise on debut over this trip at Lingfield when a close second. Should know more this time and leading contender.

Form: 2

(12)

Patronus¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: B J Meehan

100/1

Zoffany gelding who's price rose form 11,000 gns as a foal to £22,000 as a yearling. Green and looked in need of the experience on both starts so far. Handicaps likely to suit better on the back of this.

Form: 90

(9)

Peruvian Summer¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: K Frost

66/1

€65,000 Lope De Vega colt that was always on the back foot on debut over this C&D two weeks ago. Should be better for the experience but has plenty to find.

Form: 7

(6)

Equal Sum

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

20/1

Paco Boy filly that is related to several good winners. Dam was a winner up to 1m4f and sister to Oaks second Flight Of Fancy. May want further in time but is a fascinating newcomer.

Form:

(2)

Repulse Bay¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett

25/1

Dark Angel filly who's price rose from €105,000 as a foal to 400,000 gns as a yearling. Failed to live up to that price tag on two starts so far and needs to take a big step forward now. Likely to do better at some stage.

Form: 79

(5)

Secret Magic¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Megan Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane

100/1

Daughter of Alhebayeb who was a tailed off last here over C&D on debut two weeks ago. Much more needed here.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Kodiac Pride (5/6), Fortissimo (3/1), Dark Poet (11/2), Badayel (9/1), Te Amo Te Amo (14/1), Leo Davinci (16/1), Equal Sum (20/1), Repulse Bay (25/1), Corrida De Toros (28/1), Peruvian Summer (66/1), Secret Magic (100/1), Patronus (100/1)

Badayel and Equal sum are both very interesting newcomers to note and money for either could be telling. Fortissimo is sure to give it another good go from the front and won't be easy to pass with the experience under his belt. Slight preference is for KODIAC PRIDEwho learnt on the job on debut at Lingfield and should be a lot sharper here.
