Berlin Tango

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding

14/1

Dansil colt who was foaled on April 6. He is a half-brother to Jupiter Light who won over this distance, while his dam also prevailed over 7f. Interesting newcomer. One to watch on his opening start.

Broughtons Compass²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Kieren Fox| T: M R Hoad

150/1

Has failed to impress on his two starts so far. Was last of 13 on his debut at Lingfield (6f) and then finished fifth of nine, beaten 9l, on the AW surface at the same track over 6f. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 05

Caribeno

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

33/1

Archipenko colt who cost 90,000 guineas as a yearling. His dam won up to 1m4f but also was successful over 1m as a two-year-old. Keep an eye out for any market confidence behind him before the race.

D Day

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: F Sweeney| T: R Hannon

20/1

War Command colt who was purchased for €14,500 as a yearling. His dam was a maiden but half-sister to 1m winner Warming Trends. Other newcomers make more of an appeal in the race.

Dubai Souq

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Ffrench| T: S bin Suroor

7/2

Dubawi colt who was foaled on February 19. His dam was successful on the AW over 1m1f as a two-year-old. Yard are in great form at the moment so he has to be respected on opening run.

Great Ambassador¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: R M Beckett| BF

15/8

Went very close to getting off the mark at the first attempt at Kempton (6f) on the AW where he was beaten by just a nose when going off as the 5/2 favourite. Ran green on debut but more can be expected this time. One to beat.

Form: 2

Hexagon¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton

5/2

Finished second here over this C&D last time behind a smart colt in what was a big improvement on his sixth place finish of nine on his debut at Windsor (6f). Should be in the mix again.

Form: 62

(10)

Inflamed

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Keniry| T: E Walker

16/1

New Approach colt who cost 140,000 guineas as a foal. His dam was a winner over 6f as a two-year-old, while she also won over 7f during her career. Wouldn't be a surprise if he went well on debut. One to watch.

Mr Kodi⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: P D Evans

50/1

Showed some promise on his debut at Leicester (5f) when fourth of seven. Did not improve on his second start at Haydock (6f) as he could only come home sixth of seven. Others make far more of an appeal.

Form: 46

Premium Bond²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Fahy| T: R Hannon

40/1

Outstrip colt who is a half-brother to three winners. Had just one horse behind him on his debut at Lingfield (7f) where he was prominent before weakening inside final 2f. More needed today but an improvement expected.

Form: 0

Pyledriver

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir

50/1

Harbour Watch colt who was foaled on March 14. His dam won over 1m2½f, while she is a sister to 1m Group 3 winner Normandel. One to watch on opening start.

Selecto

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Adam J McNamara| T: H & R Charlton

66/1

Paco Boy colt who was foaled on March 26. Brother to 1m2f winner Imperial Aviator and half brother to Universal Command who scored over 1m½f. Market could be a good guide to his chances of success.

Zingaro Boy¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁵⁾| T: H Palmer

8/1

Zoffany colt who was a £80,000 yearling. Was fifth of 10 on his debut at Kempton (6f) on the AW where he was only 2¼l behind Great Ambassador. Should improve on his second start here.

Forecasts

Great Ambassador (15/8), Hexagon (5/2), Dubai Souq (7/2), Zingaro Boy (8/1), Atlantic Crossing (12/1), Berlin Tango (14/1), Inflamed (16/1), D Day (20/1), Clandestine Affair (25/1), Caribeno (33/1), Premium Bond (40/1), Pyledriver (50/1), Mr Kodi (50/1), Selecto (66/1), Broughtons Compass (150/1)

GREAT AMBASSADOR was very unlucky not to break his maiden at the first attempt at Kempton on the AW where he was only beaten by a nose, despite running green for large parts of the race. He should settle better this time, therefore, he can make up for that near miss on his second start. Hexagon has the experience of two runs under his belt now and looks more comfortable over this trip, while Zingaro Boy was not too far behind Great Ambassador on his debut and is likely to be chasing him down once again at the finish here.
