Establish¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian

11/2

Looked badly in need of the experience on debut (Ascot ,7f) failing to make any real impact (slowly away). May well do better with that encounter behind him for a yard going nicely with their juveniles this season; 4-16 with 2yo on second start.

Form: 7

Haqeeqy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

9/2

€175,000 May Breeze-Up purchase by Lope De Vega out of a winning dam, half-sister to smart German Group winner up to 1m2f Fight Club. Yard well over the 25% strike-rate mark for 2yo debutants this year, market confidence a bonus.

Jadeer

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G Mosse| T: M R Channon

33/1

One of the cheaper buys in this field (€5,000 yearling), third foal, half-brother to US 5f-6f turf/dirt AW winner Goldberry. Dam, maiden (stayed 6f). Stable just 1-37 with 2yo newcomers this year; best watched given a tough opening gig.

Juan Les Pins

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: E Walker

25/1

Half-brother to three winners including 2yo 1m winner Cap Francais (by Frankel) and 1m/1m3f winner St Jean Cap Ferrat. Yard 0-14 with newcomers in this sphere so far in 2019; only worthy of support if the market was positive on him.

Raaeq¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: B J Meehan

11/8

Produced a promising first effort for a yard not known for their debutant 2yo's going close first-time out. Related to several winners from this yard; considerately handled on his debut over 6f (finished runner-up); should improve, more expected.

Form: 2

(6)

Smuggler⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: M P Tregoning

8/1

Disappointed on his second start going backwards from a debut where he had shaped well over 6f at Goodwood (second to Sovereign Beauty). Returned to the same venue over 7f he produced a laboured performance; more needed versus some useful rivals.

Form: 27

(9)

Sovereign Beauty⁷²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

16/1

Showed some quality making a wining start (short-head too good for Smuggler), quickened well under a considerate ride (6f, Goodwood). Failed to repeat that effort here over 6f (ground may have been too quick); more needed under 3lb penalty.

Form: 18

(3)

Declared Interest

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett

12/1

Yard a modest 3-29 with 2yo newcomers this year; first foal, dam, 2yo 7f winner, half-sister to very smart 2-y-o 1m winner Crowded House. Would need some positive market vibes to be of real interest in smart contest.

Form:

(8)

Maurimo

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton

10/1

Newcomer, Kingman filly, half-sister to several winners, including smart 1m2f-1m4f winner Star Catcher (Irish Oaks winner) and high-class winner at up to 1m4f Cannock Chase. Eye-catching pedigree, no major entries but worth noting in the market.

Form:

Forecasts

Raaeq (11/8), Haqeeqy (9/2), Establish (11/2), Smuggler (8/1), Maurimo (10/1), Declared Interest (12/1), Sovereign Beauty (16/1), Juan Les Pins (25/1), Jadeer (33/1)

Second division of the 7f novice and it looks the more interesting with a nice mix of those with experience and the newcomers. Pick of the four that have already shown their ability is Raaeq who ran a very encouraging race on debut although that form has yet to be properly tested and the debutants are an interesting bunch. Haqeeqy can’t be ignored emerging as he does from the Gosden yard which is in sparkling form at the moment but it’s the pedigree of the Roger Charlton newcomer MAURIMO that makes most appeal. She’s related to some very smart females and by a sire a leading sire, a winning debut wouldn’t be out of the question.
