Baadirr²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W J Haggas

15/8

180,000 yearling that made a satisfactory debut over C&D last month; the form of that race has already been franked by one winner but is yet to really come under scrutiny. Needs to be sharper from the stalls but he's open to stacks of improvement.

Form: 7

(4)

Bealach

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

9/1

38,000 gns yearling; half-brother to five winners, all of whom were effective over this sort of trip and slightly further. Yard going well and worth a betting check.

Form:

(7)

Glorious Return

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

20/1

40,000 gns yearling; has plenty of winners in his bloodlines and should have no issues with the trip. Might just be better for the experience though.

Form:

(10)

Gold Souk

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston

4/1

A Casemento colt out of a Seeking The Gold mare who is a half-sister to Dubai Millennium, he's also a half-brother to four winners, so ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper. Support in the betting will be highly interesting.

(8)

King's View

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon

12/1

£48,000 yearling out of a 6f and 7f winner that is a half-sister to Listed winners Freedoms Light, Face The Facts, and Oh Beautiful; all of whom won over further than this. Sure to be placed to good effect once connections get a handle on his speed.

Form:

(1)

Made Guy^b1¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: J S Moore

100/1

Struggled to attract interest at the sales and was well beaten on debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) at the start of this month. Improvement needed.

Form: 0

(6)

Mottrib

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

4/1

150,000 gns yearling out of a Listed placed dam by Dalakhani; Yard is noted for its patient approach with horses that race in these colours (also carried by Baadirr) and this fellow looks another long term prospect. The betting can guide.

Form:

(2)

Rocket Dancer

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: S Kirk

11/1

A half-brother to a couple of winners, both of whom were more effective on the AW than turf. His dam also won on an artificial surface (7f, Wolverhampton) as a two-year-old. Others make more appeal in this company.

Form:

(9)

Swinley Forest

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: B J Meehan

20/1

38,000 gns yearling that is a half-brother to a couple of decent handicappers. The trip should be fine but the form of his stable has to be a concern at the present time.

Form:

Non-Runners

Wren

Weight: 9-0| Age: 2

T: H & R Charlton J: Jason Watson

Forecasts

Baadirr (15/8), Mottrib (4/1), Gold Souk (4/1), Wren (8/1), Bealach (9/1), Rocket Dancer (11/1), King's View (12/1), Swinley Forest (20/1), Glorious Return (20/1), Made Guy (100/1)

There is likely to be a good deal more to come from BAADIRR who has valuable C&D experience and can play the protagonist role if he's thrived since his debut last month. There are dangers aplenty, including: Gold Souk, who is out of a Dubai Millennium mare, so makes immediate appeal for pedigree buffs; and has to merit a betting check given the excellent strike-rate from his stable at present. Bealach is related to plenty of winners and is also worth noting in the betting, while King's View and Wren are others that should be noted with an eye on the future.
