Son of Speightstown fetched $47,000 as a yearling; a first foal to a 7f winner. 4/1. dwelt and carried wide early on debut before some late progress. Likely to improve for the run but needs a big jump forwards to be involved.

Dandy Man colt has run to a similar level of form with a third and fourth place finishes in five runner fields. Plenty of improvement needed to be competitive.

Kodiac colt, cost 88,000 gns as a foal and 28,000 gns as a Breeze-up purchase. Showed pace throughout on well backed debut when despite being green and stumbling late, he ran a good second. Should improve for top stable who also run Ellenor Gray.

Son of Mayson gelded ahead of debut, an 8th foal and a half brother to four winners. Stable has had just three juvenile winners this year and will probably need the run.

Sepoy colt who cost £10,000 as a yearling. Tailed off on debut but much better when a close fourth of six in a bunch finish. That was a weak race though and likely to struggle in this company.

Gutaifan filly, cost €155,000 as a foal; half-sister to classy sprint winners Great White Eagle and Quarrel (who was Group placed as a 2yo). Improved with each run so far culminating in a good second over this trip. Rates a leading contender.

Daughter of Delegator cost 7,500 gns as a foal and €50,000 as a yearling; a fifth foal and a half-sister to juvenile winners Bartel and Kiruna Peak, as well as German winner Kelida Dancer. One to note in the betting on debut.

Forecasts

Pop Dancer (6/5), Queen's Order (11/4), Ellenor Gray (7/1), Augustus Caesar (8/1), Ishvara (8/1), Slaidburn (14/1), Ma Boy Harris (16/1), Zakher Alain (33/1)

Verdict

Richard Fahey runs two and the pair look like the ones to concentrate on. There's little between them on their last run but it was the third effort of Ellenor Gray while POP DANCER was making his debut. The latter has a bit go wrong for him in the race and is taken to improve the most. Augustus Caesar also didn't get the run of things on his first start and is another who could show big progress. Queen's Order will need another couple of furlongs in time but is worth a market check.
  1. Pop Dancer
  2. Ellenor Gray
  3. Augustus Caesar
