(1)

Drummond Warrior²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S W Kelly| T: Mrs P Sly| CD

5/1

Gelded son of Zoffany bred to appreciate further but made a belated winning debut when running on well from the back over this C&D. Time of the win does present some concern but still likely to improve for the run and sets the standard to aim at.

Form: 1

(3)

Strathspey Stretto

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: M P Tregoning

12/1

Daughter of Kyllachy and first foal to an unraced dam. Unraced at two and three and makes belated debut for stabe in decent form. Market likely best guide as to expectations.

Form:

(2)

Annexation⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop

10/1

Son of Wootton Bassett purchased for €240,000 at the breeze-up sales in May last year. Has raced to a similar standard when finishing fifth in both starts to date and will need plenty of improvement.

Form: 55

(4)

Grisons

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C G Cox

3/1

Iffraaj colt fetched £190,000 as a yearling; a first foal to a Listed sprint juvenile winner. Stable in decent form and capable of readying a newcomer. Bred for speed and could go well.

Form:

(5)

Mofaaji^p1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford

1/1

Well-bred newcomer, a son of Animal Kingdom and a ninth foal; half-brother to four winners. Stable in good form and first time cheekpieces on for debut. Likely type and market should prove a good guide.

Form:

(7)

Disey's Edge

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: T E Whelan| T: C Mason

66/1

Daughter of Harbour Watch out of a juvenile maiden winner. Stable going well enough but not known for readying newcomers and she doesn't appeal on breeding.

Form:

(6)

Peggotty

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll

40/1

Daughter of Assertive and an 11th foal who is a sister to two sprint winners. Stable in good form but probably one to watch on debut with others more attractive on breeding.

Form:

Forecasts

Mofaaji (1/1), Grisons (3/1), Drummond Warrior (5/1), Annexation (10/1), Strathspey Stretto (12/1), Peggotty (40/1), Disey's Edge (66/1)

DRUMMOND WARRIOR exceeded expectations on debut and while it wasn't in the quickest of times, he's only likely to improve with experience and there's not certain to be a newcomer amongst his rivals to beat him. Grisons is bred to be to speedy and along with Mofaaji, who appeals on paper, are the most likely pair from the newcomers.
