Held back by inexperience when fourth of 5 in minor event at Ascot (5f, good, 6/1) on debut 8 weeks ago, considerately handled once held. Well bred and should have more to offer.
|
Foaled January 8. 11,000 gns foal, 22,000 gns yearling, 65,000 gns 2-y-o, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Miss American Pie. Dam unraced. Worth a market check.
|
Towards the top of the betting but offered little when eleventh of 12 in maiden (5/1) at Haydock (6f, good) on debut 34 days ago.
|
6/1, might have been amiss when ninth of 10 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, firm) on debut 3 weeks ago, his rider looking down from 2f out. Clearly thought capable of better.
|
Showed ability when sixth of 13 in minor event at Newbury (6.5f, firm, 16/1) on debut 13 days ago, every chance over 1f out. May do better.
|
Foaled April 14. Too Darn Hot colt. Closely related to useful 1m winner Motawaj and half-brother to 1¼m winner Asraabb. Drawn wide but he's one for shortlist on debut given connections.
|
Run best excused when last of 8 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm, 4/1) on debut 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort having been lit up after a slow start. May well do better.
|
Never a threat when fifth of 10 in minor event at Leicester (5f, good, 22/1) on debut 29 days ago. Open to progress upped in trip.
|
Foaled April 26. 40,000 gns foal, €58,000 yearling, Time Test colt. Closely related to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Make Fast and half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 1m Cranberry and 9.5f winner Sun Festival. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 5f-7f winner).
|
Foaled February 17. 70,000 gns yearling, 110,000 gns 2-y-o, Soldier's Call colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 6f Wedding Date and winner up to 6f Secret Potion. Dam maiden (stayed 7f).
|
Looked badly in need of the experience when last of 10 in maiden (10/1) at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) on debut 12 days ago.

Forecasts
Daring Legend (5/2), Magsood (4/1), Inishfallen (11/2), Balagh (7/1), Red Troop (17/2), Hurricane Power (10/1), Parker's Piece (11/1), Merrimack (14/1), Cuban Fiesta (22/1), Primetime (28/1), My Margie (100/1)
Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to BALAGH, who was spared a hard race once it was clear he wasn't going to figure on debut at Ascot 8 weeks ago. Andrew Balding's colt should've derived plenty from that and he can get the better of Magsood, who makes plenty of paper appeal for his in-form handler but does have a wide stall to negotiate. Parker's Piece and Cuban Fiesta can battle out minor honours.
- Balagh7/1
- Magsood4/1
- Parker's Piece11/1
