Son of Dawn Approach, gelded ahead of winning debut at Leicester (7f, good) last month; travelling smoothly and winning with plenty in hand despite odds of 20-1. Big player in spite of conceding weight.
€40,000 yearling, Zebedee colt. Half-brother to three winners, including useful winner up to 1m2f Good Birthday. One of a few interesting newcomers from leading yards, trainer also runs first-timer Ayr Harbour.
€230,000 yearling, Kingman colt. Dam a French maiden, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m2f Silasol. Represents John Gosden and market support would have to be noted seriously.
Harbour Watch colt cost 16,500 gns foal, 55,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to 1m winner Desert Lion. Second runner in this line-up for Hannon team.
Gleneagles colt, closely related to useful 1m2f winner Jasmine Blue and half-brother to 1m winner Love of Art. Market should prove a useful barometer in what looks a decent contest on paper.
Siyouni colt cost 58,000 gns. Well held on debut at Kempton over 7f in August but much more like it when finding one too strong at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last month and may take a hand in the finish again if building on that back on AW.
150,000 gns as a foal but went for just 25,000 gns as a two-year-old. Sent off 33-1 last month on racecourse bow over 7f at Kempton and shaped as if needing the run. Plenty more called for and watching brief advised.
Son of Cable Bay, easily dismissed on both starts so far, the latest over 7f on good to soft going at Chepstow three weeks ago. Hard to recommend at this juncture.
€64,000 yearling, Slade Power colt. Unable to get competitive on debut in 7f Southwell maiden last month. May do better before long.
A 320,000 gns yearling, Oasis Dream colt, he made a pleasing start when second over this trip on turf course here in August. Winner easily followed up at Musselburgh since. Should make progress here.
Oasis Dream colt, shaped well enough when third of five in novice event over C&D on debut in August. Yard remain without a two-year-winner in 2019 (0-16) and, while he's expected to progress, this looks very competitive.
Daughter of Swiss Spirit, sent off 100-1 on debut at Salisbury over 6f last month and was in trouble from around halfway. Hard to forecast a dramatic turnaround now.

Amaan defied his starting price to make a smooth winning debut at Leicester and needs respecting here for the Simon Crisford team. He does have to concede 7lb however and that sways the vote towards ROVANIEMI, second on the turf track here in August on debut. That form has been boosted by the winner and this expensive colt could well go one better now. Any confidence behind Kingman newcomer Al Rufaa will be notable, while Ayr Harbour looks the more likely of two Richard Hannon debutants.
