Al Badr

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford

5/2

Shadwell newcomer already gelded despite costing £85,000 as a half-brother to an AW winner. Son of Kodiac whose progeny do well here and one to note in the betting for respected yard.

Irish Acclaim^p1⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L P Keniry| T: C G Cox| OR: 78| BF

10/3

Experience a plus after four starts and placed three times. Goes up to 7f for the first time after running on third at Lingfield latest and expected to go close although much depends on the newcomers.

Form: 342-3

Knight's Gate

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: B R Millman

66/1

Gelded newcomer by Sir Prancealot a £23,000 yearling purchase as a half-brother to a winner in France. Yard's newcomers tend to need a run or two.

Rondo¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills

2/1

Made a modest start to his career at Newmarket where he finished fifth of seven runners in a 6f contest. Well-bred colt who should step up from that opening run to deliver much more this time around. One to consider.

Form: 5-

Royal Charmer²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: D Flood

66/1

Related to a few winners and outran odds of 66-1 on debut here but flopped badly when last subsequently at Lingfield so now has a few questions to answer.

Form: 3-0

Glencora²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: David Probert| T: D R C Elsworth

20/1

Gleneagles filly green and always behind when 10th of 12 here last month. Progression expected but doubtful she's ready to play a serious part.

Form: 0

Swan River

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Charlie Bennett| T: R Varian

14/1

Newcomer from prolific yard a €210,000 purchase who is a three parts sister to three winners out of a smart dam. Could be worth chancing today.

Forecasts

Rondo (2/1), Al Badr (5/2), Irish Acclaim (10/3), Captivated (4/1), Claudius Secundus (13/2), Swan River (14/1), Glencora (20/1), Knight's Gate (66/1), Royal Charmer (66/1)

There are a host of well-bred newcomers involved here and the vote goes to Australia filly SWAN RIVER for the always highly respected Roger Varian team. Of those with form Irish Acclaim has achieved most and he should go close. Another who has form good enough to merit consideration is Captivated who would have been more feared but for a near four-month absence.
