Doune Castle¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

33/1

Camelot colt who fetched 82,000 gns as a yearling and is a brother to a winner over 1m. Green and restless at the start on recent Newbury debut when seventh of eight. Would hope for and expect better here.

Form: 7

(7)

Eagles By Day²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: M L W Bell| BF

9/4

Sea The Stars colt who fetched 125,000gns as a foal finished second in both starts to date although shade disappointing latest when odds-on at Wolverhampton. That said he still merits respect here and should go close.

Form: 2-2

(13)

Flat Stone³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Daniele Camuffo

50/1

Changed yards since lone start when fourth of five at Lingfield in March. Big step forward needed to feature.

Form: 4

Fyodor¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: J W Mullins

150/1

Unraced home-bred Dunaden colt 14th of 16 on debut at Windsor so firmly on the watching only list.

Form: 0

(11)

Isolate²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: M Meade

14/1

Well related son of French sire Maxios played up at the start and gave himself a mountain to climb on debut at Wolverhampton yet finished third. Obviously can improve on that although this may be tougher.

Form: 3

(10)

Johnny Kidd

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding

20/1

Gelded newcomer by Australia cost 75,000gns as a half-brother to eight winners. Yard also run once raced Doune Castle so market can guide.

Kiefer¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

25/1

Pour Moi half-brother to smart 1¼m-1¾m winner Bauer and useful 1¼m-1¾m winner Boz. Showed little in to starts to date including recent sixth of eight at Newbury so maybe one for handicaps.

Form: 7-6

(6)

Moghram

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning

16/1

40,000gns newcomer by trainer's Derby hero Sir Percy half-brother to 5 Flat winners. Yard in great form but notorious for bringing horses along slowly.

Form:

(1)

Space Walk^t1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas

5/4

Galileo colt who is a brother to two winners from 7f to 2m and showed speed on debut at Newbury when fourth of eight where he was too keen for his own good. Can come on plenty and expecting a bold bid now.

Form: 4

(8)

Flaming Red^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: K Bishop

150/1

Tailed off last of 10 on debut at Newbury so can't be suggested here.

Form: 0

Royal Star¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton

4/1

Daughter of Sea The Stars who is a sister to a US Listed winner. Promising debut when fourth of 11 at Newbury and one place better there on return. Looks trainer's first string and should go well here.

Form: 4-3

(2)

Universal Song¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J W Mullins

150/1

Well beaten on both starts so far and best watched with a view to future handicaps.

Form: 0-9

Forecasts

Space Walk (5/4), Eagles By Day (9/4), Royal Star (4/1), Imperium (12/1), Isolate (14/1), Moghram (16/1), Johnny Kidd (20/1), Kiefer (25/1), Doune Castle (33/1), Loch Laggan (33/1), Flat Stone (50/1), Universal Song (150/1), Fyodor (150/1), Flaming Red (150/1)

William Haggas' Royal runner SPACE WALK showed enough on debut at Newbury to suggest he will make a very cold bid today with that under his belt and he just about gets the vote over twice second Eagles By Day and Royal Star who also has two solid pieces of form to her name.
