Carlton

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: J & T Gosden

9/2

€350,000 yearling, Frankel colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 1m/9f winner Calyxa and useful winner up to 11f Clear For Take Off. Appears to be the stable's first string on jockey bookings, and every chance he can play a part if he's clued up.

10/1

€210,000 yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Mystical Dawn and half-brother to 7f/1m winner Dark Kris. Worth a market check.

Paddy The Squire^t1⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine

18/1

150,000 gns yearling, Golden Horn colt. Half-brother to 7f-8.3f winner Cruyff Turn and winner up to 1m New Kingdom, both useful. Promising fourth in a novice at Soutthwell on debut and should do better.

Form: 4

(12)

Ribal¹⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A M Balding

3/1

Stepped forward from his debut when third at Newmarket when last seen five months ago and this longer trip should suit, so he's respected.

Form: 53-

(2)

Roost¹³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

9/2

Bettered debut form when second in a novice at Wolverhampton 133 days ago and may do better still, so not a forlorn hope.

Form: 32-

(9)

Seahouses

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

8/1

Sea The Moon gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart winner up to 1m Kinross and useful 1m winner Ceilidhs Dream. One to note.

Ski Jump⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 56

66/1

Modest maiden who ran well in a low-grade handicap at Wolverhampton last time but is likely to be outclassed in this.

Form: 69-872

Max Of Stars²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Ollie Pears

300/1

Yet to show a great deal of ability, so hard to make a case for.

Form: 77

(10)

Wintercrack²³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Keniry| T: Mrs P Sly

50/1

Very well bred but there wasn't enough promise in her Southwell debut to think she can be of interest in this.

Form: 0-

Forecasts

Ribal (3/1), Carlton (9/2), Roost (9/2), Astrodome (5/1), King Sharja (11/2), Seahouses (8/1), Maxi King (9/1), Cosmic Soul (10/1), Paddy The Squire (18/1), Wintercrack (50/1), Camarrate (66/1), Ski Jump (66/1), Max Of Stars (300/1)

John Gosden provides two well-bred newcomers and it might well be worth chancing CARLTON to make a winning start. Astrodome is from a tremendous family and any market support would be significant so far as he's concerned, while Ribal looks the best of those with experience.
