(5)

Band Of Steel²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods

3/1

Golden Horn colt who knew his job and made a positive start when runner-up at Chelmsford on debut. That piece of form is the best on offer and he's open to improvement.

Form: 2

(1)

Counter²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

15/2

Bred to have plenty of ability and wasn't disgraced amidst inexperience when only seventh in a novice at Chelmsford on debut. Capable of much better than that.

Form: 7

(7)

Edge Of Darkness²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: C & M Johnston

7/1

Has a middle-distance pedigree and offered something to work on when fourth in a Ripon novice on debut. Likely to come into his own next year.

Form: 4

(2)

Going To The Moon²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: I Mohammed

11/1

Mastercraftsman colt who made a bright start when runner-up at Nottingham last month. Open to improvement, and likely to take a hand.

Form: 2

(3)

High Honour³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

6/4

Well-bred, expensive purchase who was only fifth at Sandown first time up but looks sure to leave that form behind with the benefit of experience. Worth considering.

Form: 5

(6)

Mudskipper³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: D Menuisier

7/1

Only sixth in a maiden at Sandon first time out. Will probably be brought along gradually.

Form: 6

(4)

Mysterious Maestro²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: S & E Crisford

33/1

Sales price rocketed to 140,000 gns at the Breeze-Ups but has made little impact in a couple of maidens so far.

Form: 96

Non-Runners

(8)

Dee's Dream¹⁷

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

T: M J Attwater J: Rhys Clutterbuck

Forecasts

High Honour (6/4), Band Of Steel (3/1), Mudskipper (7/1), Edge Of Darkness (7/1), Counter (15/2), Going To The Moon (11/1), Dee's Dream (20/1), Mysterious Maestro (33/1)

BAND OF STEEL sets the standard with the scope for progress, so he takes marginal preference over Going To The Moon, who also arrives on the back of an encouraging debut. High Honour, a 900,000 gns Frankel colt, is also considered for all that he hasn't achieved as much as the aforementioned pair.
