Olympic Glory gelding, dam a sister to a winner and half-sister to two more winners. Suitable test for debit but a concern we haven't seen him before now.

Showed very little in four bumpers and no obvious improvement over C&D last time when making her Flat debut; others preferred.

40/1
Some promising efforts in bumpers and probably unsuited by the drop in trip at Newcastle last time on Flat debut; may want further than this, despite the step up in trip.

22/1
Teofilo colt, beaten a long way on debut. Would need a huge step forward from that run last week to have any claims here.

7/1
Looked in need of his debut effort at Kempton when green but showed enough to think he could do better here; particularly with a step up in trip sure to suit.

Discovery Islandp110
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: C Appleby| OR:  86| BF
1/1
Showed fair form in maiden company and returned with a promising effort on AW at Newcastle last week when third of eight; despite failing to justify favouritism. First-time cheekpieces could see him improve.

Hallowed Castle
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-7| J: Charlie Bennett| T: B R Millman
100/1
Hallowed Crown gelding, cost £6,500 as a yearling. Half-brother to three winners but yard's debutantes usually best watched.

Media Storm
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-7| J: B A Curtis| T: J Tate
5/1
Night Of Thunder colt, cost 38,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to three winners including Group 3 winner Agent Murphy; well bred sort who is worth a market check.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: D M Loughnane
25/1
Showed some minor improvement from course debut when fourth of six here last month; that level of form looks a level below what is required here though.

66/1
Declaration Of War filly, cost €60,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to four winners and dam a half-sister to a Group 1 winner. Well beaten when showing nothing on debut here last week; may need more time.

Forecasts

Discovery Island (1/1), Lady Sansa (10/3), Media Storm (5/1), Dark Scimitar (7/1), Haayem (18/1), Antonine Road (22/1), Mr Dib Dab (25/1), Red Dragoness (40/1), Cabaret Parisienne (66/1), Hallowed Castle (100/1), Convivial (150/1)

Verdict

Ralph Beckett does well with his Lope De Vega fillies and LADY SANSA showed enough on debut to suggest she could be a three-year-old worth following this term. Discovery Island is the obvious danger in first-time cheekpieces despite failing to justify favouritism last time. Dark Scimitar should appreciate the step up in trip while Media Storm is an interesting debutante.
