Cost €15,000 as a yearling; related to minor winners on the Flat. Was drawn poorly and missed the break on debut over C&D two weeks ago, beating only one home. Will need to have learnt a lot from that experience to figure here.
Shaped with promise when midfield at Windsor (5f) on debut before improving to finish second over C&D four weeks ago, beaten 4L. Jockey reported he was still green that and so any further improvement will make him tough to beat.
Has been consistent in defeat since his second start; he has finished third on his last two runs at this track (7f/6f). Has plenty of early pace so the drop in trip shouldn't inconvenience him and he should be a tough nut to crack.
11th foal; half-brother to eight winners, the best of which are Listed winner Baby Strange and Grade 3-placed Moone's My Name. Yard rarely have newcomers win and are just 3/139 with juveniles in the last five seasons. Would be a surprise winner.
Cheap purchase at €5,200. First foal from an unraced dam. Pedigree doesn't set the world alight but the yard does having winning debutantes, so the market may be the best guide to his chance.
€9,000 daughter of Showcasing; her dam won over 1m in America. There is plenty of speed in her pedigree and from a yard that does well, particularly on the AW and she could be a threat even with a moderate level of ability.
Forecasts
Rocking Reg (11/8), Triple Spear (7/4), Dress Circle (4/1), Viva Voce (20/1), Bring The Money (33/1), The Kyllachy Touch (125/1)
Of the three newcomers, Dress Circle is the one who warrants a second-look given her speedy pedigree and connections. She wouldn't need to run to a particularly high level to get involved. Triple Spear knows his job and will likely go forward which may set it up for ROCKING REG. Roger Teal's inmate has shown a fair level of form in her two starts to date and get off the mark at the third attempt.
