Champagne Piaff²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore

7/2

Promising type. Fourth of 12 in maiden at Ascot (7f, good, 66/1) on debut 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Open to improvement and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 4

(7)

Escape

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

17/2

Foaled April 27. 77,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to several winners, including 1½m-1¾m winner Fiveandtwenty and 1m/8.3f winner Harry Bosch. Market should point the way.

Fundamental¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M Harley| T: J & T Gosden

4/6

Promising type. Third of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, firm, 11/2) on debut 15 days ago, running on. Will be wiser this time and should go close.

200/1

150/1, last of 10 in minor event at this course (8f, good) on debut 20 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 0

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills

17/2

100/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut 83 days ago, very slowly away. Probably more of a long-term prospect.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J W Mullins

200/1

Fourteenth of 15 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good, 200/1) on debut 13 days ago. Looks set for another struggle.

40/1

Ninth of 13 in minor event at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft, 150/1) on debut 13 days ago, slowly away. Plenty of stamina in pedigree and probably one for middle distance handicaps next year.

Form: 9

Dream A Little

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: E Walker

40/1

Foaled February 27. Oasis Dream filly. Closely related to 1½m winner Dreaming Blue. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Lady of Dubai. One to note in the betting.

50/1

Twice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 13 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 18/1) 27 days ago. Significant step forward needed.

Form: 50

(14)

Moment Critique

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Liam Keniry| T: C G Cox

22/1

Foaled January 23. Half-sister to useful winner up to 6f Field Game. Dam of little account, half-sister to useful 5f-6f winner Cool Creek. Yard can ready a newcomer and market check a must.

Form:

(8)

Pensada

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett

18/1

Foaled February 18. Out of a half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Firey Speech. Likely-looking type and needs close attention in the betting.

Forecasts

Fundamental (4/6), Champagne Piaff (7/2), The Attorney (17/2), Escape (17/2), Pensada (18/1), Zuhair (20/1), Percy's Pride (22/1), Moment Critique (22/1), Trevolli (40/1), Dream A Little (40/1), Miss Tiki (50/1), Kinz (125/1), Thistleton (200/1), Mountain Ash (200/1)

There were positives to glean from FUNDAMENTAL's recent introduction at Yarmouth and, with improvement on the cards, he gets the nod ahead of Champagne Piaff, who also made a promising start to his career when fourth in the Ascot maiden won by subsequent Group 3 winner La Barrosa. It will be interesting to see how the newcomers shape up in the betting, particularly Escape and Pensada.
