Foaled April 11. £48,000 yearling, Iffraaj colt. Brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Galaxy Gazer and half-brother to 5f winner Raabeh. Entitled to come on for the run.
|
Promising individual. 9/1, fourth of 18 in maiden at this C&D (good) 23 days ago, slowly away. Holds a Group 1 entry and while he has some way to go to be considered for that level, the scope is certainly there for improvement.
|
€40,000 yearling, €240,000 2-y-o. Half-brother to 3 winners, including Moojim (2-y-o 5f winner) and 2-y-o 5f winner Lady Ayresome, while his dam was also a 2-y-o 6f winner. Lots to like on paper and Group-race entries suggest that he's well-regarded.
|
Promising sort. 11/2, third of 6 in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut 57 days ago. That experience won't be wasted on him and should make his presence felt.
|
Foaled March 21. 38,000 gns foal, Twilight Son colt. Dam, 5f/6f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Lockheed out of useful winner up to 8.5f (2-y-o 7f winner) Clinical. Others are more appealing.
|
Foaled May 1. 11,000 gns foal, £25,000 yearling, Mayson gelding. Brother to 5f/6f winner Boundary Lane and half-brother to 1¼m winner Poet's Preem. Yard's strike rate with 2-y-os is modest and he's probably best watched this time.
|
Foaled January 20. €100,000 2-y-o, Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Shalailah. Dam 6f winner. Worth a second look in the betting.
|
Foaled May 4. Camacho gelding. Closely related to smart winner up to 6f Taxiwala and useful 5f winner Kodama and half-brother to useful winner up to 5.3f Billy Dylan. Will only be of interest on debut if the market vibes are notably upbeat.
|
Foaled February 8. Magna Grecia filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 6f Encrypted and useful 2-y-o 6f winner Gisburn. Dam French 1m winner. Likely-looking type and she needs close attention in the betting.
|
Foaled March 31. Sioux Nation filly. Dam, 1m winner, sister to smart winner up to 8.6f Buckstay. Chances are, she will be all the better for the experience.
|
€42,000 yearling. Dam 6f winner (including at 2 yrs) from family of Yorkshire Oaks winner/St Leger second Hellenic, herself dam of Greek Dance and Islington. Market should point the way.
|
€12,500 foal, €17,000 yearling. Closely related to 5f/6f winner Time Douglas and 2-y-o 5f winner Absolute Beginners and half-brother to 5.7f-7f winner Macs Dilemma. Dam, 5f winner. Interesting to see what the market has to say.
|
Foaled April 28. €6,000 yearling, €50,000 2-y-o, Garswood colt. Half-brother to winner up to 1¼m Hariasa and 2-y-o 5.5f winner Capitano, both in France. Dam French 2-y-o 5.5f-7f winner. Like stablemate Carthaginian, he's probaby best watched on debut.
|
Foaled April 24. €36,000 yearling, €62,000 2-y-o, Gleneagles filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Jaxta. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), later 6.5f winner in USA. Yard rarely strikes with juveniles.
|
Twice-raced filly. 14/1, fourth of 14 in maiden at Limerick (7f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Likely to pick up a race at some point but will find easier opportunities than this.
|
Twice-raced filly. 33/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Probably more one for nurseries in due course.

Forecasts
Letsbefrankaboutit (7/2), Temple Of Hera (5/1), Kortez Bay (5/1), Spicy Water (7/1), Limoncello Lady (7/1), Perfect Judgement (12/1), Si Senior (14/1), Carthaginian (14/1), Shes Scintillating (16/1), Speedwood (16/1), Verified (20/1), Four Blondes (25/1), Secret Jungle (33/1), Sakakawea (33/1), Goal Exceeded (33/1), Kendall Roy (33/1)
Newcomer LETSBEFRANKABOUTIT looks the part on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Indeed, the Sioux Nation colt is bred to make a 2-y-o and entries in the Gimcrack and National Stakes suggest that he has been showing the right signs at home. Kortez Bay and Temple of Hera are both open to improvement and rate the main dangers (in that order of preference), while Limoncello Lady is another newcomer to note.
