Six-race maiden with nothing on the formbook to suggest he's going to have a forward role now dropped to the minimum distance for the first time; up against it.
Half-sister to Group-placed 6f two-year-old winner Squash out of twice-raced sister to 6f two-year-old Group 3 winner Tremar. Should have prospects and worth monitoring in betting for debut run.
7,500 gns yearling; half-sister to 7f two-year-old winner Leeshaan; dam once-raced half-sister to 1m-1m2½f f Group 1 winner Rip Van Winkle and Italian 1m Group 3 winner Le Vie Infinite. Interesting debutante.
Dam won over this trip here; from the wider family of Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Classic Park; unfancied ahead of recent debut over 5f at Chelmsford and looked in need of experience. Needs big step forward.

BOMBSHELL is the ready choice from those that have run, with Joseph O'Brien's filly having run well in what was probably a strong Dundalk maiden earlier this month. She finished third and should take halting now under Ben Curtis. Newcomers Ice Ice Lady and Pop The Confetti make appeal on paper and won't have to be special to get in the money on the evidence of what the others have done previously.
