Boldly

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: J & T Gosden

9/2

Galileo colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Anchorage. Dam unraced half-sister to 1¼m-1½m winner Vadawina and 1¼m/11f winner Vadapolina (both smart). Top yard also saddles Inquiring Minds and the market should point the way in terms of which colt is the better-fancied.

Inquiring Minds

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

10/11

Kingman colt. Dam, winner up to 1¾m (2-y-o 1m winner), half-sister to useful 1¼m/10.4f winner This Is The Day. Lots to like on paper and interesting to see what the market has to say.

Laser Guided^t1¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: S & E Crisford| BF

13/8

Promising type. 9/4, second of 8 in minor event at this course (8f) when last seen in January. Up in trip and tongue strap on 1st time. Open to further improvement.

Form: 6-2

(5)

Sea Girt

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

100/1

Sixties Icon gelding. Dam, winner up to 8.3f (2-y-o 7f winner), also won over hurdles. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner.

Eva Rosie¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S A Gray| T: Mrs Stella Barclay

250/1

Twice-raced filly. 250/1, sixth of 7 in maiden at this C&D 19 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 66

Forecasts

Inquiring Minds (10/11), Laser Guided (13/8), Boldly (9/2), Sea Girt (100/1), Eva Rosie (250/1)

Newcomer INQUIRING MINDS ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. Stablemate and fellow newcomer Boldly also boasts good credentials but Laser Guided, who stepped up on his debut effort when runner-up over a mile here in January, is feared most now faced with a stiffer test.
