5/6

Shamardal gelding. Half-brother to useful 1m winner Wishfully. 7/2, won 10-runner minor event at this C&D (good) on debut 27 days ago, slowly away. Looks well up to defying a penalty, particularly with useful claimer in the saddle.

11/1

Oasis Dream colt. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1½m. 7½ lengths sixth of 10 to Sense of Wisdom in minor event at this C&D (good, 16/1) on debut 27 days ago, not knocked about. Open to progress, but definitely needs to improve quite a lot.

11/4

280,000 gns yearling, Frankel gelding. Dam, US 5.5f-1m (Grade 2) winner, half-sister to US Grade 1 9f Western Aristocrat. A very interesting newcomer but stable-companion Sense of Wisdom has strong claims.

Sense Of Wisdom (5/6), Tribal Wisdom (11/4), Chasing Aphrodite (17/2), Gastronomy (17/2), A E Housman (11/1), Change Of Fortune (40/1)

SENSE OF WISDOM's C&D debut win was achieved despite obvious greenness and Harry Davies dropping his whip, so he's an obvious one to follow up under a penalty with the useful Harry Davies again claimig 5 lb. Stable-companion Trible Wisdom is an interesting newcomer and the market should give a clue as to his chance of toppling the selection. A E Houseman will improve on an encouraging debut behind the selection but is likely playing for minor honours.
