40/1
Not sold €11,500 yearling; first foal; dam 1m6f Fibresand winner. Trainer 7% over five years with his juveniles, who usually need a bit of experience.

5/2
€15,000 foal; €33,000 2yo; second foal; half-brother to the Listed-placed 6f 2yo winner Nurse Barbara, out of an unraced sister to 1m Listed winner Gifted Girl. Trainer 9% with his 2yos over five years, and this one reads well.

5/6
8,000gns yearling; half-brother to seven winners. 7-4 favourite on recent Newcastle debut (6f, AW), when showing up well but ultimately no match for the 2¼L winner. Top stable's runners usually improve, and he should be tough to beat this time.

Infant Hercules
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan
12/1
£5,000 yearling; eighth foal; half-brother to five Flat winners over various trips, out of a 6f-7f 2yo winning half-sister to Group 1 winner Tante Rose. Trainer does well with his juveniles and a positive debut is anticipated.

Age: 2|  Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby
33/1
12,000gns yearling; first foal; dam 1m2f winner. Trainer just 5% with his juveniles over five seasons, and this gelding looks likely to need more time and a longer trip.

15/2
£40,000 yearling (private); fifth foal whose four half-siblings have all won. Dam 7f winner. Trainer 12% with his 2yos over five seasons and it would be no surprise to see this gelding make a good debut. Visored.

Topper Bill
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-5| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls
25/1
Not sold €1,000 yearling; first foal; dam 7f AW/turf winner. Trainer's juveniles have a decent 13% strike-rate over five seasons. Doesn't look an obvious debut winner, and only really of interest if market vibes strong.

Chilli Leaves
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish
12/1
25,000gns yearling. First foal; dam 5f 2yo winner (including Listed), sister to a 6f winner and half-sister to three other 5f winners. Starts her racing life over a trip that looks plenty long enough, so perhaps best watched.

Forecasts

High Peak (5/6), Deputy (5/2), My Best Friend (15/2), Infant Hercules (12/1), Chilli Leaves (12/1), Topper Bill (25/1), Marsellus (33/1), Dandini (40/1)

Verdict

The standout on paper here is HIGH PEAK, who ran well despite being a beaten favourite first time out. Mark Johnston's runners regularly step up on whatever they achieve first time, and he is taken to score this time. The others of greater interest are the newcomers Deputy, Infant Hercules and My Best Friend.
