(5)

Glasvegas

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dalgleish

5/1

Son of Zebedee cost €50,000 as a yearling. Bred to need a fair bit further in time and stable struggling for winners. Best watched on debut.

Form:

(2)

Harswell⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: L Bailey

12/1

Kodiac colt cost £16,000 as a juvenile after previously fetching E9,500 as a yearling. Unfancied and never got involved on Ripon debut and easy to overlook.

Form: 7

(4)

Main Reef

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

4/6

Son of Pivotal out of a mare who was a juvenile and Group 3 winner. Plenty of speed in pedigree and cost 62,000gns as a yearling. Likely type on paper for leading trainer of juveniles.

Form:

(3)

Hot Heir

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S A Gray| T: N Wilson

33/1

Daughter of Hot Streak cost €16,000 as a yearling. Enough speed in pedigree but probably best watched on debut unless significant market support.

Form:

(1)

Lara Silvia²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine

10/3

Daughter of Casamento sent off 100/1 but ran with credit on debut at Redcar. Bred to need further in time, so one to watch when going handicapping but no reason she can't be involved in this company.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Main Reef (4/6), Lara Silvia (10/3), Glasvegas (5/1), Harswell (12/1), Hot Heir (33/1)

A small field with only two of the five runners having previous experience and Lara Silvia setting the standard. Over this trip she'll be vulnerable to a forward newcomer and MAIN REEF really stands out as the most likely type. There's not much else to go on but Hot Heir has speed in her pedigree.
