11/4
11/4, won 9-runner novice at Southwell (5f) on debut 9 days ago, showing good speed. Open to improvement but it'll surely be required to defy a penalty against some very interesting newcomers.

8/1
Foaled April 15. £75,000 Blue Point half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Silver Surfer and smart 6f/6.5f winner Asjad. Dam 5f/6f winner. Would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.

Foaled March 19. 150,000 gns Profitable colt. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1¼m. Stable juveniles have started the season well and market confidence would look significant.

Foaled April 13. 32,000 gns U S Navy Flag colt. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 7f Beechwood Ella and 1m winner Maskoon, both useful. Dam 7f/1m winner who stayed 1¼m. Betting should guide.

Foaled March 15. £130,000 Mehmas colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 7f Wobwobwob and 6f-10.7f winner Honor Oak. Dam maiden (stayed 1m). Stable has already had a first-time-out 2-y-o winner this year. Interesting to see how he goes in the betting.

Forecasts

Cuban Thunder (7/4), Carnegie Hall (9/4), Yorkshire Terrier (11/4), Hackman (18/5), Blue Storm (8/1), Mr Baloo (8/1), Flag Of St George (12/1), King Garwood (66/1), Fullofbrightideas (125/1)

Verdict

In a race where the betting will obviously provide more clues the suggestion is CUBAN THUNDER. Blue Storm and Hackman are other very likely types on paper, while Yorkshire Terrier has already won but has a penalty to carry.
