7/1

Mayson gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner Glasstrees. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 6f Major Jumbo. Market should point the way.

33/1

Orientor gelding. Brother to 5f winner Lord of The Glen and 6f-7f winner Gleniffer. Yard seldom strikes with newcomers and watching brief advised on this occasion.

85/40

Twice-raced gelding. Second of 11 in minor event (40/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 42 days ago. Likely to make a bold bid to go one better.

Form: 72

Manila Style¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

50/1

Twice-raced gelding. Fourth of 6 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good, 40/1) 10 days ago. Another who will probably be seen in a better light when switched to handicaps.

Form: 54

Okami³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

5/1

Twice-raced gelding. Ninth of 10 in maiden (17/2) at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago, slowly away. In good hands but he's not particularly appealing on the back of that display.

Form: 39

11/2

160,000 gns yearling, Showcasing gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including high-class winner up to 1¼m in Hong Kong Romantic Warrior and useful 6f winner Melodic Charm. Lots to like on paper and one to note in the betting.

Bugle Beads^h1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Greg Cheyne| T: W J Haggas

12/1

Twice-raced filly. Last of 6 in minor event (13/8) at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) 12 days ago. Probably worth another chance with a hood enlisted here, given her debut promise.

Form: 56

13/2

Twice-raced filly. 16/1, fifth of 12 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good) 43 days ago. Debut effort at the same course in April was pretty promising and she has to be taken seriously.

Form: 25

12/1

Once-raced filly. Hooded, sixth of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 25/1) on debut, slowly away. Off 168 days and improvement needed starting out for new yard.

Forecasts

Kaidu (85/40), Okami (5/1), Operation Gimcrack (11/2), Kokomo (13/2), Billyjoh (7/1), Canaria Queen (10/1), Bugle Beads (12/1), Queens Resolve (12/1), Irish Dancer (22/1), Extinction (33/1), Doon The Glen (33/1), Sir Sidney Smith (33/1), Manila Style (50/1), Roys Pursuit (66/1)

Bryan Smart can ready one first time out and saddles an intriguing newcomer here in OPERATION GIMCRACK, who fetched 160,000 gns yearling. This is a realistic starting point and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Kaidu left his debut effort well behind when runner-up over C&D and he is feared most ahead of Kokomo and Bugle Beads.
