Alfaatik
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden
4/1
850,000 gns son of Sea The Stars and half-brother to six winners including three at Group level. Jockey bookings indicate Pianissimo carries stable hopes, but hard to overlook that pedigree. Holds a Derby entry.

Blowing Dixie21
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: H & R Charlton
33/1
Dubawi colt who was fancied on debut but ruined his chance at the start. Slowly away again last time and still to beat a rival.

Gate City
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: Adrian Nicholls
40/1
8,000 gns purchase related to a couple of dirt winners. Has already been gelded and highly tried on racecourse debut.

Midport21
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: Edward Greatrex| T: H & R Charlton
33/1
Has shown signs of temperament whilst indicating few signs of ability. Likely to offer more over this trip, but others preferred.

Pianissimo
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden
5/6
Teofilo colt who is closely related to Strathspey and an AW winner in Germany. Stable have had six juvenile winners in past two weeks and jockey bookings indicate he is their main hope here.

Ring Cycle8
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: S Kirk
20/1
Gelded son of Norse Dancer related to three winners over 1m2f-1m6f. Showed some promise on debut and extra quarter mile looks sure to help.

Horse silk
Tajawoz
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: Owen Burrows
5/2
$750,000 son of War Front and the first foal of a US Grade 3 dirt winner. Stable have had a quiet year with this age group, but all four of their juvenile winners have been on AW tracks.

Forecasts

Pianissimo (5/6), Tajawoz (5/2), Alfaatik (4/1), Ring Cycle (20/1), Blowing Dixie (33/1), Midport (33/1), Gate City (40/1)

Verdict

John Gosden's juveniles are in tip-top form and he holds a strong hand here with the well-bred Alfaatik and PIANISSIMO. The latter looks the pick judged on jockey bookings and the hint looks worth taking. Tajawoz has an AW pedigree and needs monitoring in the market, whilst Ring Cycle is the pick of those with experience over a trip in line with his breeding.
  1. Pianissimo
  2. Ring Cycle
  3. Alfaatik
