Centurion Dream

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: R Hughes

16/1

Goodeveningmrbond²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones

12/1

Acclamation colt. Dam maiden (stayed 8.5f), half-sister to useful 8.5f/9f winner Media Luna. Offered something to work on when keeping on third in 5-runner Nottingham novice (5f, soft) on debut 26 days ago and he's fancied to build on that here.

Form: 3

(7)

States¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes

125/1

Territories colt. Showed some ability when sixth in 8-runner Newbury maiden (5f, heavy) on debut in April and best not judged too harshly on his subsequent Salisbury run (hampered soon after start). This his third quick run and he may do better in handicaps later on.

Form: 66

22/1

White Christmas¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: M L W Bell

7/1

40,000 breeze-up purchase who displayed plenty of ability when finishing close-up last of 3 in a 5f maiden here 11 days ago, running green and not quicken inside final 1f. Very much the type to improve and he's expected to feature upped to 6f.

Form: 3

(9)

Flag Of St George³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Robert Tart| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

13/8

U S Navy Flag colt who displayed definite promise despite finding things happening a little quickly when fourth in 7-runner novice event here (5f) 4 weeks ago, outpaced halfway but keeping on again final 1f. Step up to 6f will suit and he's another likely improver. Strong possibilities.

Form: 4

Magnificentforce

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁷⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

40/1

Foaled March 1. Charm Spirit colt. Dam 1m winner who stayed 1½m. Betting should guide on debut but yard may well hold stronger claims with Flag of St George.

14/1

Foaled April 16. 37,000 gns yearling, Invincible Army colt. Dam 7f/7.5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Yard 2-6 with their newcomers on turf so far this campaign and he's one to note.

Form:

100/1

Foaled March 17. £16,500 yearling, Dandy Man colt. Never figured when seventh in 8-runner Bath maiden (5f, soft) on debut 17 days ago.

Form: 7

(5)

Maymay¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: K P De Foy

22/1

€33,000 yearling, Cloth of Stars filly. 14/1, eighth of 13 in novice event at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) on debut 13 days ago, racing off the pace and making late headway. Entitled to come on for that initial experience but she's best watched here.

Form: 8

(14)

Mimi Kakushi²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: G Boughey

13/2

Galileo Gold filly. Showed a bit when fifth in 8-runner Bath novice (5f) on debut 4 weeks ago, bumped after 1f and lit up as a result. In good hands and she's entitled to do better with that under her belt.

Form: 5

(2)

Tokyo Dreamer

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: S C Williams

100/1

Foaled April 29. 20,000 gns foal, 30,000 gns yearling, Advertise filly. Half-sister to 6f/7f winner Oh So Hot. Dam, 9.4f winner, closely related to useful 8.6f-1½m winner Bashiyr. Probably best watched on debut unless market vibes proved particularly strong.

Flag Of St George (13/8), Art Historian (5/1), Mimi Kakushi (13/2), White Christmas (7/1), Goodeveningmrbond (12/1), Survivalist (14/1), Centurion Dream (16/1), Sugarloaf Lenny (16/1), Maymay (22/1), Townsend Manor (22/1), Magnificentforce (40/1), Diddy Man (100/1), Tokyo Dreamer (100/1), States (125/1)

FLAG OF ST GEORGE displayed definite promise, not least with a view to stepping up to this trip, when fourth in a 7-runner novice here last month and, with progress anticipated, he gets the nod to come out on top. White Christmas similarly shaped well despite finishing last of 3 on his debut at the Guineas Meeting and is a lead threat. Art Historian and Survivalist could emerge as the pick of the newcomers.
