Coroebus

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

1/1

Foaled March 19. Dubawi colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to high-class winner up to 1¼m Thunder Snow. Holds some big-race entries and he's a newcomer very much to note.

Dillian

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: M L W Bell

8/1

Foaled March 12. Camelot colt. Dam, 1m-1¾m winner who stayed 2m, also won over hurdles/fences. Has plenty of stamina in pedigree and interesting to see where he features in the betting.

Eight Of Diamonds⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: S Woods

80/1

Ulysses colt who proved easy to back and ultimately didn't offer much when 13 lengths fifth of 8 in a 7f Leicester minor event in June. Needs to step up a good deal to figure.

Form: 5

Fulfilled²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock

40/1

Foaled February 7. Ulysses colt. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart 7f/1m winner Zibelina. 50/1, ran to a modest level when seventh in 9-runner maiden here (7f) last month. Others preferred.

Form: 7

Inverness

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: C Hills

22/1

Foaled April 23. 110,000 gns yearling, Highland Reel colt. Closely related to winner up to 10.5f L'aigle and 1¼m winner Glen Again. Appeals on paper and betting will unearth some clues.

Majalh²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Dane O'Neill| T: W J Haggas

12/1

Siyouni colt who is bred more for stamina than speed and ran to just a poor level in a Sandown maiden (7f) last month, running green and making moderate late headway. Still, likely to improve.

Form: 7

(9)

Saga²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

15/8

Bred to be useful and plenty of encouragement to glean from last month's runners-up effort in a 7f maiden here, challenging under 2f out and keeping on. Big player with progress anticipated.

Form: 2

Splendent

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Joshua Bryan| T: P & O Cole

50/1

Foaled April 28. 45,000 gns 2-y-o, Fast Company colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 11f Rosy Blush and 1m-1¼m winner Yaa Mous. Betting should guide.

Reel Of Fortune⁷⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Ryan

200/1

Highland Reel filly who has failed to beat a rival in 2 starts to date and easy enough to pass over here.

Form: 00

Forecasts

Coroebus (1/1), Saga (15/8), Dillian (8/1), Majalh (12/1), Cabrakan (18/1), Inverness (22/1), Fulfilled (40/1), Splendent (50/1), Eight Of Diamonds (80/1), Reel Of Fortune (200/1)

A gelded son of Invincible Spirit, SAGA is bred to be useful and shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on debut over 7f here 3 weeks ago. That experience won't have been wasted on him and he can make it second time lucky. That said, Coroebus is a very appealing newcomer who demands plenty of respect. Fellow newcomers Cabrakan and Inverness complete the shortlist.
