Roderic O'connor gelding. Dam 6f-1m winner out of useful winner up to 7f (including as juvenile) Arabian Mirage. Worth betting check on this debut outing.
Siyouni colt cost 58,000 gns, finished last of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 36 days ago. Needs big step forward on second run/turf bow.
€10,000 yearling, Harbour Watch gelding. Half-brother to 1m/1m½f winner Imperial Act. Yard just 1-22 with juveniles so far in 2019 and others more likely here.
Son of Cable Bay, who has produced some precocious two-year-olds, cost just £800. Finished seventh of eight in a seller at Leicester (6f, good; 9-2) on debut and needs a jump forward to be competitive.
Soldier Hollow colt, brother to 1m-1m2f winner Marunas, cost connections €28,000. Beaten around 6L over C&D on debut, finishing sixth of eight. May improve.
Tamayuz colt, related to a few winners, better effort over 7f at Salisbury on second start. Drops in class here and can get involved in the shake-up.
Poet's Voice colt, is a half-brother to Nayer Bu Thaila who won over 6f. Finished last of 10 at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) on debut a week ago. Big improvement required.
Nicely bred Lope De Vega colt, cost €600,000 as a yearling. Third on second on start at Brighton (7f, good; 4-7f) last month. Should progress again here and go close.
Gutaifan gelding. Dam a lightly-raced half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Ardbrae Lady. Second runner for trainer in here, yard not noted for two-year-old winners.
Rock of Gibraltar gelding. Brother to winner up to 1m2f Graceful James and closely related to a couple of fair 1m winners. Market should reveal plenty on first start.
Daughter of Elusive Quality, placed in both starts so far, improving to go close over 7f in Epsom novice (good) early last month. Another step forward likely and has decent claims.
Forecasts
Sky Vega (5/4), Magic Twist (3/1), Maximilius (5/1), Blairlogie (9/1), Ocho Grande (11/1), General Joe (20/1), Sea Voice (25/1), I'm Watching You (33/1), The Fitzpiers Lion (50/1), Viking Honour (50/1), Leo's Luckyman (50/1)
This looks a match between SKY VEGA and Magic Twist on what we've seen to date. Mark Johnston's filly was a good second at Epsom last month on second outing and will be in the mix with further improvement to come but ready preference is for Richard Hannon's colt. The form of his Brighton third was boosted by the winner Hariboux scoring readily next time and he was just denied at Doncaster yesterday off a mark of 92. With Rossa Ryan in flying form, this represents an excellent chance to open his account. Ocho Grande drops in class and joins possible improver Maximilius in the race for minor money.
