Al Namir²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon

6/1

Half-brother to talented juvenile winners Tajaanus and Motafaawit, and shaped very well when 2 lengths third of 12 to Boccaccio in a 7f novice at Yarmouth, and looks sure to improve. Respected.

Form: 3

(5)

Atheeb

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Louis Steward| T: Sir Michael Stoute

16/1

Muhaarar half-brother to useful 1m1½f-1m4½f winner Bartholomeu Dias out of a half-sister to 7f/1m Group 3 winner Purr Along. Cost £120,000, and bred to be smart, but trainer's juveniles usually brought along patiently.

Electrical Storm⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor| BF

1/1

Dubawi colt, half-brother to Group 1 winning miler Ribchester. Has run to a very useful level when runner-up in 5f races here on both starts, and open to stacks of improvement now stepping up in trip.

Form: 22

(7)

King's Command

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Kerrin McEvoy| T: C Appleby

2/1

Dubawi half-brother to Australian Group 3 6½f winner Albrecht and useful 2-y-o 7f winner Zakouski. Likely to know his job on debut, and one to bear in mind if the market speaks for him relative to owners' other runner.

Form:

(1)

Rochford

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: H Spiller

33/1

Ivawood half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m winners Wicker and Goolagong Girl out of a half-sister to 7f/1m Listed winner Selinka. No easy task on debut, and passed over unless the subject of support.

Form:

(6)

Royal Commando

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills

11/1

First foal of useful 5f winner Online Alexander, from immediate family of Group 1 Sprint Cup winner Red Clubs. Cost 125,000 gns as a yearling, and needs a market check given his speedy pedigree.

Form:

(3)

The City's Phantom

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Spencer

33/1

Half-brother to longstanding maiden Roman Warrior out of a maiden half-sister to Craven Stakes third Yaseer. Makes limited appeal on paper, and probably safe to look elsewhere.

Electrical Storm (1/1), King's Command (2/1), Al Namir (6/1), Royal Commando (11/1), Atheeb (16/1), The City's Phantom (33/1), Rochford (33/1)

Some interesting newcomers, notably King's Command and Royal Commando, who both look precocious on paper, but ELECTRICAL STORM sets a clear standard, has been crying out for a step up in trip since debut, and can take this on the way to better things.
