Baileys Blues¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

12/1

15,000gns foal; easy to back when finishing last of four to Spirit Of The Sky (beaten 8L) on debut at Nottingham (5f, heavy); could fare better.

Form: 4

Boom Boom Boom^t1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams

9/1

15,000gns son of Raven's Pass out of an unraced dam. Bred to want a little further but worth a look in the market given yard have three debutants running.

Main Reef¹⁶⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: D M Simcock| BF

9/2

Backed into 4/6 when only able to finish fourth of five at Musselburgh on debut back in May. Clearly well thought of there but changed stables since so a very interesting runner.

Passing Nod^h⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Gianluca Sanna⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Haggas| BF

7/1

Two efforts so far underwhelming but latest was his first in four months and not one to give up on just yet given the leading stable he hails from.

Form: 67

Donnybrook^h³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

4/11

€900,000 filly by Invincible Spirit made a pleasing start when third at Kempton last month where she pulled hard but finished best of all beaten just ½L. Step back to 6f may suit given keen going nature and strongly fancied here.

Form: 3

Gmasha

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: R M H Cowell

33/1

£5,000 daughter of Intrinsic a half-sister to two very ordinary winners and best watched on her racecourse debut here.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby

50/1

Third foal out of an unraced dam and the first of the trio to make the racecourse. Newcomer by Harbour Watch best watched.

25,000gns buy at the breeze-ups by good Australian sire Hallowed Crown and half-sister to two winners. Maybe one for the future.

Forecasts

Donnybrook (4/11), Main Reef (9/2), Passing Nod (7/1), Boom Boom Boom (9/1), Baileys Blues (12/1), Barbelo (14/1), Bajan Breeze (16/1), Agent Shiftwell (16/1), Molly Shaw (20/1), Gmasha (33/1), Lady Isabel (50/1), Harbour Point (50/1)

In a weak looking contest DONNYBROOK looks far and away the most appealing for John Gosden having really caught the eye on debut; stepping back to 6f and switching to turf shouldn't be an issue. Baileys Blues looks the biggest danger having found a pretty warm contest on debut but a weaker one here. William Haggas won this 12 months ago and his Passing Nod could yet be open to improvement.
