Glencoe Boy²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: A Kirby| T: D Flood| OR: 38

400/1

Winless after 14 starts. Eyeshields on when only tenth of 13 in minor event (125/1) at Kempton (11f) 27 days ago so easy to look elsewhere.

Form: U098-00

(6)

Letter At Dawn^t1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: N J Hawke

250/1

Well held on Flat debut in Ireland and has shown little in two runs over hurdles in 2021 for current yard. Tongue strap on with lots to find.

Form: 9-

Lost Eden¹³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

6/4

Promising second of 6 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f, 17/2) on debut. Off 132 days but likely to improve.

Form: 2-

Alchemystique¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: J Tuite

300/1

Little show in bumpers and (150/1) when down the field at Kempton and Chelmsford. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 79

(1)

Aquascopic¹¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: W Stone

300/1

200/1, thirteenth of 14 in bumper at Huntingdon (13.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 115 days ago on sole run for Christine Dunnett. Big step forward required for new handler.

Form:

(3)

Dirty Dancer²⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: A M Hales| OR: 75

100/1

Lightly-raced filly. Last of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, 25/1) 8 months ago on final run for Ralph Beckett. Hard to warm to on polytrack debut.

Form: 425/9-

(2)

Royal Touch^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 82| BF

13/8

Fair form when twice placed as a juvenile but (cheekpieces on) below that level when second of 8 in minor event at Kempton (12f, 13/8) 27 days ago. Player if back to best.

Form: 23-2

(12)

Thunder Ahead

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: H J L Dunlop

33/1

Dark Angel colt. Dam unraced out of smart 1¼m-13f winner Roses For The Lady. Appeals on paper but yard not noted for its debut winners.

Form:

(10)

Kinderfrau⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| BF

11/2

9/4, shaped with promise when fourth of 12 in 1m minor event at Kempton on debut 79 days ago. Son of Sea The Stars has more to offer, especially now stepping up in trip, so holds good claims.

Form: 4-

(4)

Red Square

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden

7/2

375,000 gns yearling, Frankel filly. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to smart 1½m winner Lustrous Light. Lots to like on paper so newcomer warrants lots of respect. One of 2 for yard so market can guide.

Form:

Forecasts

Lost Eden (6/4), Royal Touch (13/8), Red Square (7/2), Kinderfrau (11/2), Thunder Ahead (33/1), Beautiful Crown (80/1), Dirty Dancer (100/1), Don't Jump George (150/1), Letter At Dawn (250/1), Aquascopic (300/1), Alchemystique (300/1), Glencoe Boy (400/1)

John Gosden's KINDERFRAU is fancied to take a big step forward from her encouraging Kempton debut fourth now upped in trip so gets the nod at the chief expense of Royal Touch, who boasts the best form and could bounce back. Red Square, a stable companion of the selection, rates an interesting newcomer too, especially if the market speaks in her favour.
