Shamardal colt. Dam, 8.3f winner, closely related to high-class 1m-11.5f winner Echo of Light. Appeals on paper but this is a rather belated debut. Yard also saddle Chief of Staff

11/10
Dark Angel colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart 1m/9f winner Blair House and smart winner up to 1¼m Key Victory. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and strongly considered under Murphy.

9/4
Night of Thunder colt who has showed plenty of ability in hitting the frame in minor/maiden events over C&D/Newmarket (7f) in recent weeks. Type to do better still and he rates a live player.

11/2
190,000 gns Invincible Spirit colt who showed plenty to work on when third in a Newbury maiden (6.5f) in October, his draw/position on the flank not helping. Very much the type to do better.

66/1
Cable Bay colt. Brother to 7f/7.5f winner Bengal Bay and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 7f-8.3f winner George William and 1m winner Venus Grace. Market should guide on debut.

10/1
€34,000 foal, €80,000 yearling, Night of Thunder colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 1m winner Aucun Regret and 1m-1¼m winner Enfant Prodige. Makes appeal for powerful stable and worth a close market check.

12/1
Kodiac filly who stepped up on her debut effort without being able to justify strong market support when second in a Kempton maiden (7f) in January. This rates an even deeper race.

Forecasts

Chief Of Staff (11/10), Lexington Knight (9/4), Skyrunner (11/2), Thunder Power (10/1), Leisurewear (12/1), Long Tradition (25/1), St George's Bay (66/1), Progressive Ez (80/1), Pallas Lord (150/1)

Verdict

An interesting maiden with the vote in favour of newcomer CHIEF OFF STAFF. A well-related individual with a Dante entry, he's likely to be sharp enough to feature for his powerful connections. Lexington Knight has shaped with promise both starts to date and is feared, along with the returning Skyrunner who is open to improvement embarking on his 3-y-o campaign.

  1. CHIEF OF STAFF
  2. LEXINGTON KNIGHT (IRE)
  3. SKYRUNNER (IRE)
