Night Hunter²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor

8/15

11/2, promising third of 14 in maiden at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) on belated debut 27 days ago. Has more to offer stepping up in trip, and this son of Tapit sets a good standard.

Form: 3

(9)

Halic

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute

4/1

Golden Horn colt. Half-brother to 1¼m-12.4f winner Derevo and 7f winner Society Lion, both useful. One to take seriously on debut, and well worth a market check.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado

200/1

Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Doncaster (11.9f, firm) 21 days ago. Lots more is required.

25/1

Much better effort in maidens when third of 8 in minor event at Kempton (11f, 28/1) 25 days ago. May do better still.

Form: 63

(8)

Orchestral^h²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti

50/1

Twice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Roger Charlton when fourth of 7 in minor event at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 10/1) 20 days ago. Needs to go forward again.

Form: 0-4

(10)

Owen Little

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee

125/1

Sakhee gelding. Dam, 1m maiden, half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner National Anthem. Other newcomers make more appeal.

Form:

(6)

Poy¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: A Carson

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, last of 12 in minor event at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 00

(12)

Schwartz

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hughes

22/1

€82,000 foal, 75,000 gns yearling, Kodiac gelding. Brother to useful winner up to 1½m Al Hamdany. Plenty to like on paper so newcomer is not without interest.

Form:

(2)

Artemisia Lomi

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

5/1

Galileo filly. Half-sister to several winners, including South African Horse of The Year for 2017/18 Oh Susanna. In very good hands and bred to be no back number. Debutante is well worth considering.

Form:

(5)

Fantalope^h¹²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

11/1

33/1 and hooded, shaped encouragingly when debut sixth of 14 in 1m minor event at Kempton in March, badly hampered early in straight. Up in trip and open to improvement.

Form: 6

(4)

Special Directory³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: D M Simcock

125/1

20/1, went backwards from her debut when ninth of 12 in minor event at this C&D 31 days ago. It's early days but she needs to get back on track.

Form: 49

Forecasts

Night Hunter (8/15), Halic (4/1), Artemisia Lomi (5/1), Fantalope (11/1), Schwartz (22/1), Masterman (25/1), Orchestral (50/1), Kingmon's Boy (66/1), Special Directory (125/1), Owen Little (125/1), I'm Grateful (200/1), Poy (250/1)

NIGHT HUNTER has taken a while to reach the racecourse but he shaped well amidst greenness when third over 1m at Leicester last month and he sets the bar high here if, as expected. building on that run now stepped up in trip. Both Artemisia Lomi and Halic hail from leading yards and look the part on paper though, so are much respected. especially if the market talks in their favour.
