Capofaro

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne

50/1

Full-brother to 3 winners, including very smart miler Penitent and useful 2-y-o 5f-6f winner Supplicant. Gelded prior to this debut, and market will be informative.

Creationist²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Adam J McNamara| T: H & R Charlton

5/1

Unfancied, but shaped with promise when 1½L third of 14 to Set Piece in a 7f novice here on debut. Sure to improve, and holds solid place claims.

Form: 3-

Enchanting Man¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: C Appleby| BF

3/1

Out of a winning half-sister to Dante winner/Derby runner-up Libertarian, and improved on a promising debut when ½L second of 13 to Elamir over 7f at Lingfield last time. Return to 1m will suit, and shortlisted.

Form: 32-

Fox Kasper²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon

10/1

Well-bred gelding who improved on his opening effort when 1¼L second of 12 to Absolutio in a 7f novice at Southwell last time. Another who will benefit from the return to 1m, and afforded plenty of respect.

Form: 32-

Kingdom Of Dubai

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

25/1

Full-brother to 1m-1m3f winner Rudyard and half-brother to 7.5f winner Boyissime and 7f/1m winner Scala Regia. Yard in form, but no easy introduction in what looks a warm contest.

Form:

(4)

Spotton

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: W J Haggas

16/1

Tamayuz half-brother to useful 5f winner Coolfitch and 6f winner Sand Boy. Sales price rose dramatically to 330,000 gns as a yearling, and that alone makes him of interest for leading yard.

Form:

White Coat¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

13/8

Well held here on debut, but much improved when neck second of 13 to Noble Lineage in a 7f novice at Wolverhampton. That makes him the form pick, for all there is a lot of untapped potential on show.

Form: 02-

(12)

Breakfast Time

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson

66/1

Nathaniel filly out of a half-sister to smart 1m-1½m winner Steppe Dancer. Very cheap purchase in the context of this contest, but yard can ready one, so not dismissed out of hand.

Form:

(9)

Dobrianka

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: R M Beckett

20/1

By Sea The Stars out of Prix Marcel Boussac runner-up Topaze Blanche, and represents a yard which gets its share of winners here, so worth heeding market signals.

Form:

(14)

Evie May

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: F Norton| T: M R Channon

100/1

Half-sister to a couple of winners at around this trip, but yard's strike-rate with newcomers is modest, and wide draw could be an issue given her lack of experience.

Form:

(13)

Lady Mascara

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: J R Fanshawe

125/1

Half-sister to 7f winner King of Naples and useful 1m2f winner Drochaid. Bred to make her mark, but wide draw probably no help on debut, and others preferred.

Form:

(7)

Yvette

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

6/1

Dam was second in the G1 Prix Royal Oak over 2m, and while this Le Havre filly is related to smart 1m handicapper Saltonstall, she will almost certainly need further in time.

Forecasts

White Coat (13/8), Enchanting Man (3/1), Creationist (5/1), Yvette (6/1), Fox Kasper (10/1), Kanood (12/1), Spotton (16/1), Corncrake (16/1), Dobrianka (20/1), Kingdom Of Dubai (25/1), Capofaro (50/1), Breakfast Time (66/1), Evie May (100/1), Lady Mascara (125/1)

A decidedly warm-looking event of its type, and several of the newcomers needs monitoring for signs of confidence. In the absence of market clues, WHITE COAT makes most appeal, with Enchanting Man, Fox Kasper and Creationist also worthy of respect on what they have achieved.
