(8)

Tornadic⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

5/1

5/1, overcame inexperience to land 10-runner maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 42 days ago, well on top at the finish. Sure to be suited by 1m but needs to improve if he's to defy a 7 lb penalty.

Form: 1

(2)

Albanman

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

5/2

Lawman colt. Half-brother to smart 2-y-o 7f winner Altyn Orda. Hold Derby entry and is in excellent hands so debutant is well worth a market check.

Form:

(10)

Mickydee

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

9/1

32,000 gns yearling, Twilight Son colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m/9f winner Dutch Gal. Dam ran once. Not without interest on pedigree so newcomer warrants respect.

Form:

(3)

Mountain Ash

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett| T: B R Millman

150/1

11,000 gns yearling. Sir Prancealot gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 6f Arranger. Dam unraced. Pedigree offers hope but yard not noted for debut winners.

Prey For Glory¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: J Ferguson

6/1

9/1, encouraging third of 10 in novice at Lingfield (7f, good) on debut 16 days ago, running on. Open to progress, especially now upped to 1m.

Form: 3

(9)

Seb's Welcome

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding

12/1

€5,000 foal, Rajsaman colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful duo Aweedram (1m) and Clubbable (7f). Bred to be no back number and yard can ready them so another newcomer worth second look.

Form:

(1)

Suroor²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Butler

28/1

Twice-raced maiden, only seventh of 11 in novice (28/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 77

(6)

Us Cliff

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

11/1

€10,000 yearling, resold £37,000 yearling, Footstepsinthesand colt. Half-brother to 11.5f-2m winner Encryption. Dam 1m winner. Appeals on paper and with good yard so he's well worth considering.

Form:

(11)

Jewel In My Crown³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: M Harley| T: Rae Guest

3/1

25/1, promising third of 11 in novice at Haydock (7f, good, 25/1) on debut 31 days ago, staying on late. Sure to do better over 1m so she's shortlisted.

Form: 3

(5)

Lhebayeb

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Fahy| T: Paul George

100/1

£2,000 yearling, Alhebayeb filly. Half-sister to 1¼m-2m winner Lord Howard. Dam 1¼m winner. Others appeal more on breeding and yard not renowned for its debut winners so no easy introduction.

Form:

Non-Runners

Soufyan¹⁶

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

T: M F Harris J: J F Egan

Forecasts

Albanman (5/2), Jewel In My Crown (3/1), Tornadic (5/1), Prey For Glory (6/1), Mickydee (9/1), Us Cliff (11/1), Seb's Welcome (12/1), Suroor (28/1), Soufyan (50/1), Lhebayeb (100/1), Mountain Ash (150/1)

The market will no doubt reveal plenty here with six newcomers on show, and of those Roger Varian's Lawman colt and Derby entrant ALBANMAN is taken to make a winning start. Us Cliff is one of two representing Richard Hannon and this Footstepsinthesand colt warrants respect, while Jewel In My Crown appeals most of those with experience.
