Form:

(6)

Biz Markee

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer

Deal A Dollar

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tristan Price⁽⁷⁾| T: Sir Michael Stoute

25/1

Son of the mighty Frankel out of a Group 2 Rockfel Stakes winner. Stable's runners tend to improve for their debut but rates a likely type.

Form:

(2)

Fightwithme¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| BF

6/1

Shamardal colt has been placed when a beaten favourite in both starts to date. Boasts a good level of form and should be competitive again with extra furlong likely to suit.

Form: 32

(1)

Fly Lightly

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell

100/1

Form:

(14)

Khuzaam²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian

4/7

Well-bred son of Kitten's Joy and a Derby entry. Impressed on debut when short of room on the turn before finishing strongly. Should improve for the run and sets a good standard.

Form: 2

(3)

Maiden Castle

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: H Candy

80/1

Son of Nayef and gelded ahead of debut. Stable has just had one juvenile winner this campaign and others preferred.

(10)

Purbeck Hills³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

33/1

By Oasis Dream out of a Montjeu mare and cost 50,000 gns as a yearling. Not disgraced in both starts to date but much more required and may be one for handicaps.

Form: 44

(5)

Sash²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Mrs A J Perrett

7/2

Son of Oasis Dream ran a close second over this C&D on debut which would be good enough to go close here. Failed to improve on that behind a clear winner next time but physically looks open to more progress.

Form: 22

(12)

Target Zone

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: D R C Elsworth

100/1

Champs Elysees colt should appreciate further in due course. Stable quiet with their juveniles and likely a longer term prospect.

Form:

(11)

West Newton¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Adam J McNamara| T: H & R Charlton

50/1

Kitten's Joy colt out of a mare that won over 7f on the AW. Showed promise when fifth on debut and can progress for the run but more required.

Form: 5

(9)

Madame Judge

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

150/1

By Lawman out of a Dalakhani mare and this may prove sharp on debut. Stable quiet lately with their juveniles.

Form:

(4)

Trapani

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden

25/1

Daughter of Shamardal out of an unraced Barathea mare. Represents a leading stable on debut who also run Fightwithme and worth a close check in the betting.

Form:

Forecasts

Khuzaam (4/7), Sash (7/2), Fightwithme (6/1), Admirals Bay (20/1), Deal A Dollar (25/1), Trapani (25/1), Purbeck Hills (33/1), Biz Markee (40/1), West Newton (50/1), Awesomedude (66/1), Maiden Castle (80/1), Target Zone (100/1), Fly Lightly (100/1), Madame Judge (150/1)

The winner got away when KHUZAAM was short of room on debut, otherwise he may have gone close and is taken to build on that promise. There's not much between him and Sash on the form they've shown so far and they are taken to fight it out. Fightwithme has proved expensive to follow in his short career but should be winning soon enough while stablemate Trapani and the beautifully-bred Deal A Dollar catch the eye on debut.
