Fast Company colt (cost 20,000gns as a juvenile); second foal from the 6f winner Pira Palace; yard haven't had the most productive of seasons with their juveniles, but do have a proven track record; best to consult the market.

50/1
Finished down the field (50-1) on debut at Thirsk (5f, good) a fortnight ago; similarly to stablemate Dan De Light will make more appeal once sent handicapping.
Timeform
Camacho colt (€24,000 foal, £15,000 juvenile); from an unraced half-sister to the French/US winner Price Tag (7f-1m, inc Gr1); brother to the French winner Good To Talk (5f-1m1f).

Estidhkaar colt (£22,000 yearling); closely related to the 5f winner Tomahawk Ridge; endured a much clearer passage than Billian (third) when finishing runner-up to Noorban over C&D (good) last week; should progress.

80/1
Bated Breath gelding (10,000gns vendor yearling); soundly beaten (green) on debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; a fairly significant step forward is needed.
Timeform
Equiano filly (£1,800 vendor yearling); out-performed market expectations (66-1) when filling the frame behind Seven Brothers and Bankrolled at York (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; realistic contender if able to reproduce that kind of display.

100/1
Helmet filly; first foal from the 5f-6f juvenile scorer Holy Grail; clear and obvious signs of inexperience when finishing seventh of ten (28-1) on Ripon debut (6f, good).

The Gurkha filly (26,000gns yearling); half-sister to four winners, including the 5f scorer Men United; didn't exactly make the best of starts to her racing career at Catterick (5f, good) last week; look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Sound Of Dubai (11/10), Billian (10/3), Ey Up It's Maggie (7/2), Tatsthewaytodoit (6/1), First Company (11/1), Dan De Light (18/1), Loquacious Boy (33/1), Prince Of Sol (33/1), Country Charm (40/1), Fossos (50/1), Toplight (80/1), Libby Ami (100/1), Holy Chalice (100/1)

Verdict

Ey Up It's Maggie, SOUND OF DUBAI and Billian (the latter pair in the same race) all made promising starts to their respective racing careers, while Keith Dalgleish's Tatsthewaytodoit has also shown glimpses of ability. It's doubtless that many will expect Billian (short of room on the inner) to reverse placings with the Karl Burke-trained selection, but from a slightly better (albeit not ideal) draw we'll stick with the Estidhkaar colt who is bred for the job of sprinting (is closely related to the 5f winner Tomahawk Ridge).
  1. Sound Of Dubai
  2. Ey Up It's Maggie
  3. Billian
