Findono²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: J P Spencer| T: D Menuisier

9/2

Promise at big odds when 6 lengths third of 10 in a Newbury maiden in April 2021 and returned from 13-month break with a solid third of 5 over C&D last month. Remains with potential.

Form: 3-3

Awesome Dancer³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: George Baker

18/1

Fair form so far but more likely to improve in handicaps on the back of this qualifying run.

Form: 75

Briar Bank³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: T Lawes

150/1

Looks limited on early evidence, so hard to make a case for in this.

Form: 9-6

Cadmus

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Balding

11/1

57,000 gns yearling, Gleneagles gelding. Closely related to 5f/6f winner Afra Kadabra, and half-brother to 2 winners, including useful 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Ebeko. Worth a market check.

Honiton¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 86

1/2

Already useful and only found a couple of highly promising types too good at Newcastle last time. Already sets the standard and there's more to come, so should be able to open his account.

Form: 7-323

(3)

Kemerton

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Ffrench| T: Ian Williams

100/1

£27,000 yearling, Kodi Bear gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Hutton and 5f winner Hamidans Girl. Dam unraced, closely related to smart winner up to 1m Luck Money.

Postwick¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 79

8/1

Has shaped better than the bare result on each of his 3 runs to date, not knocked about at Chester last time. Surprising that connections haven't opted for the handicap route, but return to this trip will suit.

Form: 5-54

(4)

Royal Thunder¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: W J Knight

40/1

Showed a bit at Kempton 6 months ago but is unlikely to come into his own until he gets a crack at handicapping.

Form: 6-

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: W J Knight

40/1

€15,000 foal, 18,000 gns yearling, Time Test gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5.5f-7.5f winner Cape Florida and 5f/6f winner Howzak.

€32,000 foal, 52,000 gns yearling, Holy Roman Emperor filly. Sister to useful winner up to 8.6f Emperor Spirit, closely related to 7f-10.7f winner Parramatta,. Dam 1½m winner.

Lailah³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: J R Fanshawe

Signs of ability in two outings to date, but looks more of a long-term project.

Forecasts

Honiton (1/2), Findono (9/2), Postwick (8/1), Cadmus (11/1), Enzos Angel (12/1), Awesome Dancer (18/1), Dancing Empress (25/1), Royal Thunder (40/1), Timesoftheessence (40/1), Lailah (66/1), Kemerton (100/1), Briar Bank (150/1)

HONITON has run well on each of his 3 visits to the track and his Newcastle third behind a couple of excellent prospects is comfortably the best piece of form on offer here. He's a straightforward choice to open his account at the likely expense of Findono. Cadmus is the pick of the newcomers.
