Artaois²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 85| D

15/2

Encouraging signs on Sandown debut and duly built on that when landing a 5-runner Chester novice (7.6f). Only seventh of 10 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, good to soft). Off 6 months and has a bit to find.

Form: 617-

Bayraq¹⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| C

12/1

$120,000 Kitten's Joy colt who confirmed debut promise when winning 7-runner minor event at this course (7f), keeping on well. Off 6 months. Likely to improve further.

Maljoom²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

3/1

160,000 gns yearling, Caravaggio colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Maximize Heart. Highly promising sort. 13/2, won 11-runner minor event at Doncaster (7f, good) on debut 22 days ago, slowly away. Should do much better.

Saga²²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92

8/13

Promising type. One win from 3 runs last year. 2/5, won 7-runner maiden at Ascot (7f, good to firm), pushed out. Off 7 months. Sets the standard and leading claims.

Form: 221-

Forecasts

Saga (8/13), Maljoom (3/1), Artaois (15/2), Bayraq (12/1)

Another red-hot minor event, featuring 4 lightly-raced winners. SAGA sets the standard and is open to further improvement, so he's preferred to Maljoom, though the latter is open to considerable improvement following his recent winning debut at Doncaster. Bayraq is a course winner who doesn't have all that much to find and can do better.
