Baby Sham

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: S C Williams

50/1

Sir Percy filly (£5,000 yearling); second foal from a Shamardal mare (Zamzama) who was a sister to the 1m2f Listed winner Modeyra; the suspicion is that she'll find a few of the others too sharp.

33/1

€11,000 yearling; third foal from the 1m2f winner Maracuja; sister to the 5f juvenile scorer Prissy Missy; others make more appeal.

16/1

42,000gns yearling; her dam Super Sleuth finished third in the 1,000 Guineas; seventh foal; winning siblings include Flashy Snapper (1m), Blue Geranium (1m) and Kybosh (1m3f); noteworthy with the future in mind.

€50,000 yearling; 10th foal from a fair dam (Open Verse); half-sister to three winners - Faithful Creek (7f-1m4f), Tangled (6f-7f) and Peter Mac (5f-1m1f); as with all Hannon-trained juvenile merits respect.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Tate

13/2

€11,000 foal, £35,000 yearling; fourth foal; both speed and stamina influences are evident through her dam (Lady Vyrnwy) who was a half-sister to the 1m4½f Group 2 winner Star Lahib and the 6f scorer Moone Cross.

Sky Angel

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

Dark Angel filly (cost €800,000 as a yearling) from the French 1m1f-1m4f (inc Grp 3) winner Mayhem; second foal; half-sister to the 6f juvenile scorer Donnybrook; possesses all of the required attributes in order to play a positive role.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: S Crisford

3/1

$190,000 yearling; third foal from the US 6f-7f winner (inc Grade 3) Madame Cactus; possibly might've made greater appeal were she competing on an artificial surface.

Forecasts

Sky Angel (9/4), Star Cactus (3/1), Rumaythah (4/1), Risk Of Thunder (13/2), The Circus (8/1), Mammasaidknockuout (12/1), Give 'Em The Slip (16/1), Valpolicella (20/1), Chica Bella (33/1), Baby Sham (50/1)

The €800,000 yearling Sky Angel will undoubtedly figure towards the fore of the market alongside the John Gosden-trained The Circus, whilst both Star Cactus (boasts more of an AW pedigree) and Give 'em The Slip (likely to be suited by a longer trip) are worth watching closely with the future in mind. However, for today's contest a very tentative selection is the well-related RUMAYTHAH.
