Tanmawwy⁵⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Hills

11/2

Looked an exciting prospect when running out a convincing winner of a Haydock novice (6f, heavy) on debut back in September 2020. Not made the racecourse since but most interesting what the market makes of him here having been gelded/sold for 30,000 gns.

Skibbereen

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher

300/1

Harbour Watch gelding. Dam 1m-8.6f winner. Yard wouldn't be a regular source of winning newcomers.

Flag High

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

12/1

£22,000 yearling, Starspangledbanner gelding. Brother to 7f winner Can'thelpfallin. Dam, 10.4f winner, half-sister to useful 1½m winner (stayed 2½m) Western Pearl. Worth a check in the betting for clues on debut.

Marsoul

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

14/1

€75,000 foal, 100,000 gns yearling, Shalaa colt. Dam French winner up to 9.5f (2-y-o 1m winner). Makes appeal on paper for yard adept at readying a newcomer so well worth a look, particularly if strong in betting.

Master Sergeant^p1,t1⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: J & T Gosden

12/1

Shamardal colt who failed to progress from Newcastle debut effort when sixth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f, 5/2) 66 days ago, weakening final 1f. Cheekpieces/tongue tie go on now.

Form: 4-6

Naranco⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

4/6

300,000 purchase who produced a promising first effort when second of 9 in minor event on debut at Kempton (7f) in January, challenging final 1f and running on (clear of remainder). Big player with progress anticipated.

Form: 2

Pub Crawl¹⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M L W Bell

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, last of 12 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good) in October, raced off the pace and labouring halfway. Gelded subsequently but low-grade handicaps may be more his bag in due course.

Form: 90-

Rocket Yogi²⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Robert Tart| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

22/1

Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, thirteenth of 20 in valuable sales event at Doncaster (6.5f, good to firm) in September, merely passing beaten rivals. Progress required to figure on return for all he's back in calmer waters.

Form: 60-

Taratari¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

17/2

Caravaggio colt who produced a promising first effort when runner-up in an 8-runner Doncaster maiden (6f) in November, keeping on well to pull clear of remainder. Looks sure to improve.

Form: 2-

Uppa Towen

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: J R Jenkins

300/1

Proconsul gelding. Closely related to 16.6f winner Hewouldwouldnthe and half-brother to 7f-1m winner Waspy. Dam 1¼m winner. Rates a likely outsider on racecourse bow.

Astral Beau

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S W Kelly| T: Mrs P Sly

50/1

Brazen Beau filly. Dam 1½m winner out of smart winner up to 1m (1000 Guineas and 2-y-o 7f/7.5f winner who stayed 1¼m) Speciosa.

Say Goodnight¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hannon

25/1

Twice-raced maiden. 5/1, ninth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f) in October, close up until 2f out and weakening. Still, debut effort at Haydock previously contained promise and too soon to be writing her off.

Form: 59-

Forecasts

Naranco (4/6), Tanmawwy (11/2), Taratari (17/2), Flag High (12/1), Master Sergeant (12/1), Marsoul (14/1), Rocket Yogi (22/1), Say Goodnight (25/1), Astral Beau (50/1), Pub Crawl (150/1), Uppa Towen (300/1), Skibbereen (300/1)

A 300,000 purchase, NARANCO showed plenty when runner-up behind a useful-looking prospect on debut over this trip at Kempton (7f) in January and he can confirm that promise and make it second time lucky. Taratari shaped with promise on debut himself at Doncaster late last year and is feared along with the returning Tanmawwy. Marsoul may well prove the pick of the newcomers.
