11/1

Champs Elysees filly who showed promise on debut and built on that when landing 9-runner Carlisle maiden (11f, soft) 4 weeks ago, produced to lead over 2f out and ridden out. Likely she can progress further.

5/6

Son of New Bay who makes plenty of appeal on paper and offered definite promise on 2 of his 3 starts in novice/maiden company for Ed Dunlop last term. Changed hands for 250,000 gns/gelded thereafter and highly likely there's more to come as a 3-y-o.

Form: 833-

280,000 gns yearling, Frankel gelding. 11/4 and hooded, second of 6 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago, well positioned. Still, likely he can do better again and he's one to consider.

Laatansa (5/6), Tribal Wisdom (6/4), Pretty Bouquet (11/1), Wandering Rocks (16/1), Ideal Dream (40/1), Floats On Air (66/1), Zephlyn (125/1)

LAATANSA offered definite signs of promise on 2 of his 3 starts in novice/maiden company last term, not least when third in a race that has worked out very well at Newmarket in October. Having changed hands for 250,000 gns thereafter, he could well be up to making a winning return, with Tribal Wisdom rating the chief threat. Wandering Rocks may do best of the remainder.
