Gerolamo Cardano
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys
16/1
€13,000 2yo, out of a maiden who was best over middle distances, and is a half-sister to middle distance Group 3 winner Goncharova. Stable's first bumper runner of the season, and probably best watched.

Horse silk
Groom D'Oudairies
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Christian Williams
22/1
Out of a French 2m2f-2m6f chase winner. Stamina and also AQPS Flat race success in the family. Stable 2-22 in bumpers over past five seasons. One to check out in the market.

Let Me Be
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: K Dalgleish
4/1
€8,500 yearling. Dam an unraced half-sister to 1m4f-2m winner Dubawi Fifty. Stamina-laden pedigree and represents a trainer who is yet to have a bumper winner this season, but 28% over the past five years. Interesting.

Mawlood21
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: Mr S Lee(7)| T: P W Middleton
4/1
Nice pedigree and former Godolphin inmate who was 8-1 and stayed on strongly on debut to be 1½L second in a Market Rasen (1m5f, good to soft) bumper. Longer trip looks positive and he should give another good account.

Quick Draw
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: T Lacey
7/2
€15,500 foal. Brother to a placed bumper runner, out of a French 1m7f Listed hurdle winner. Trainer 19% in this sphere over five seasons. Should be capable of giving a good account.
6
Horse silk
Second Subaltern
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: M A Enright| T: S Curling
4/1
Closely related to Flat winners at around 1m1f. Dam placed over 1m2f, but there is stamina in the family. Trainer 10% in this discipline in Ireland over five seasons, and 14% in British raids over the same period. Market check suggested.
7
Horse silk
Sol De Mayo
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Reed(3)| T: T Davidson
6/1
18,000gns 3yo. Brother to a 1m2f-2m winner; half-brother to 1m4f AW/2m turf and 2m hurdle winner, out of French Oaks second. Trainer 0-5 in bumpers over five seasons, but has been in good form lately. Interesting.

Horse silk
Soldier Ont18
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Godfrey(7)| T: W G M Turner
25/1
66-1 and was unruly at the start on debut when 9L fourth at Exeter (1m5f, good; first-time tongue-tie) recently. Not devoid of promise there, but likely to need improvement on that bare form.

Horse silk
Spark Of Madness
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell
14/1
€30,000 2yo. Brother to French 2m2f hurdle winner, out of a placed middle distance runner. Stable 8% over past five seasons in this sphere, and not usually known for debut winners.
11
Horse silk
Red Dragoness
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-5| J: A Nicol| T: P A Kirby
40/1
€3,000 foal, €22,000 yearling. Sister to two winners over 7f-1m2f; half-sister to four winners, largely over middle distances; dam a 1m1f French Listed winner. Trainer 8% in bumpers over five seasons. Best watched unless market vibes strong.

Forecasts

Quick Draw (7/2), Let Me Be (4/1), Second Subaltern (4/1), Mawlood (4/1), Sol De Mayo (6/1), Vulcan Bomber (10/1), Spark Of Madness (14/1), Gerolamo Cardano (16/1), Groom D'Oudairies (22/1), Soldier On (25/1), Red Dragoness (40/1)

Verdict

A tough race to call, but given how well he ran on debut, and the fact that he has that experience under his belt, former Godolphin-owned MAWLOOD looks a solid option. Vulcan Bomber can probably take a closer hand, while Soldier On clearly can't be dismissed. Of the newcomers, Let Me Be, Sol De Mayo, Quick Draw and Groom D'oudairies are all worth checking for market confidence.
