Lady Madison²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

7/2

Made a winning debut (a rare occurrence for the yard) under a hand-and-heels ride at Chelmsford (6f) over the same trip. Up in trip on reappearance and turf debut and market may prove a good guide.

Form: 14-

Air Hair Lair¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: Miss S West

25/1

Zebedee gelding who cost 5,500 gns as a yearling and whose dam is an unraced half-sister to two winners over 1m. Well beaten at 100/1 on debut and easy to overlook.

Form: 7

Bayaanaat¹⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: P W Hiatt

66/1

Dawn Approach colt out of a Marju mare. Unfancied but got no luck in the run on debut for Dermot Weld last October. Sold for just 3,000gns since so probably best watched on stable debut.

Form: 8-

(13)

Durrell^h1²¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe

15/8

Animal Kingdom colt sets the standard on two good runs for Luca Cumani last September. Gelded ahead of season and stable debut and while he'll improve over further in time, holds clear possibilities.

Form: 32-

Illywhacker²⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore

33/1

Oasis Dream colt, cost 15,000 gns as a yearling and €28,000 as a Breeze-up purchase. Struggled on August debut and plenty more required to be involved.

Form: 6-

(3)

Molotov

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

15/2

Son of No Nay Never who is gelded ahead of debut. Cost €75,000 as a yearling and market is likely to provide the best guide.

Form:

Noble Fox

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

16/1

Gelded son of Foxwedge cost 14,000gns as a foal reduced to £7,000 as a yearling. Bred to be suited by this distance and betting should prove informative.

Trust Me

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: M Dwyer| T: D K Ivory

20/1

Son of Shamardal cost 30,000gns as a juvenile. Stable capable of readying a newcomer so one to note in the market on debut.

Form:

William McKinley⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: G Mosse| T: A Stronge

25/1

Third of seven showing ability following a slow start on debut for Hugo Palmer in January when wearing blinkers (removed). Sold for 10,000gns since and probably best watched having been moved on so quickly.

Form: 3

(8)

Grape Shot²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

20/1

Nathaniel filly related to several winners. Weak in the market on Wolverhampton debut when well-beaten but showed big improvement when close up and unlucky at Chelmsford on reappearance. Likely improver.

Form: 0-4

(1)

Jazzy Card³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Mrs L C Jewell

100/1

Red Jazz filly, half-sister to three AW winners. Distant fourth of five on debut and only moderate improvement on second start. Plenty more required.

Form: 46

(7)

Kasuku

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett

7/1

Daughter of Delegator, a fifth foal and a half-sister to two winners. Starts life over a realistic distance and market likely to reveal expectations on debut.

Form:

Rachel Zane^h1¹⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Palmer

6/1

27,500gns yearling; fifth foal; half-sister to winners Queen Blossom (1m-1m4f), Winged Spur (1m-1m2f) and Valcarlos (1m). Unfancied and little taken from November debut. Plenty of progress required.

Forecasts

Durrell (15/8), Lady Madison (7/2), Rachel Zane (6/1), Kasuku (7/1), Molotov (15/2), Culture (14/1), Noble Fox (16/1), Trust Me (20/1), Grape Shot (20/1), Air Hair Lair (25/1), William McKinley (25/1), Illywhacker (33/1), Bayaanaat (66/1), Jazzy Card (100/1)

Durrell holds the best form from his time with Luca Cumani and is of obvious interest. GRAPE SHOT will need further in time but looked an improved performer on her reappearance and met trouble in the run. Culture would appreciate rain but should be competitive.
