Babajan²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon

12/1

Has finished seventh both starts so far but positives can be taken from each effort. Dam won over 11f so this step up in trip should suit.

Form: 77

7/1

25,000 gns yearling, Toronado colt. Closely related to 3 winners, including very smart pair. Second of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 15 days ago. Should have more to offer.

60,000 gns 2-y-o, Union Rags colt. Dam, lightly raced in US, half-sister to US Grade 2 8.5f winner Surya. 5/1, fifth of 13 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good) on debut 23 days ago, not knocked about.

Local Law

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: C Appleby

10/11

Foaled February 25. Dubawi colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart winner up to 12.5f Loxley and useful winner up to 1m Forest Maiden. Of obvious interest on debut.

7/2

Foaled April 14. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to top-class winner up to 1½m Golden Horn. Holds a Derby entry and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant.

Forecasts

Local Law (10/11), Megallan (7/2), Impulsive One (5/1), Top Brass (6/1), Bazaari (7/1), Babajan (12/1), Bodroy (50/1)

MEGALLAN is from a family connections know well, his dam a winner for them and a half-sister to the top-class Golden Horn, and this Derby entrant is taken to make a winning debut. Local Law also makes plenty of appeal on paper, with Impulsive One perhaps the pick of those with experience.
