6/1

Foaled March 21. Night of Thunder colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Mutazawwed and 2-y-o 5f winner Jadhlaan. Can't be ruled out, especially if the market vibes are positive.

11/1

Foaled April 1. £150,000 yearling, Ulysses colt. Half-brother to high-class sprinter Bradsell and 1m winner May Punch. Dam 2-y-o 6f/7f winner. Appeals on paper so this newcomer is in the picture.

Veer

16/1

Foaled April 2. Caravaggio colt. Dam, ran twice, closely related to smart 11f winner Mr Singh out of useful 2-y-o 6f-1m winner (stayed 1¼m) Sundari. No forlorn hope on his debut.

14/1

Twice-raced maiden. 14/1, encouraging third of 13 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, having to weave through. May do better still so he's one for the shortlist.

Forecasts

Hidden Pass (1/1), Juantorena (5/2), Murashah (6/1), Treasure Time (8/1), Tribal Rhythm (11/1), Woodleigh (14/1), Veer (16/1), Parson's Meadow (50/1), Whathappensinvegas (66/1)

The market should reveal plenty but Charlie Appleby's Dubawi newcomer HIDDEN PASS is bred to be useful so can make a winning start at the chief expense of Juantorena who made a promising start when fourth at Newbury and seems sure to go forward. Other debutants Murashah and Tribal Rhythm are in good hands and appeal on paper so warrant plenty of respect too in an intriguing novice.
