Airman

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey

8/11

Foaled March 1. €25,000 foal, €25,000 yearling, Dandy Man colt. Dam unraced, half-sister to useful 1m-1¼m winner Long Tradition out of useful 8.3f winner Irish History. Entered in the Gimcrack and very much one to note in the betting.

Form:

Barnaby⁶⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan

9/1

Once-raced colt. 28/1, last of 7 in minor event at York (5f, firm) on debut 68 days ago. Likely to do better at some point but perhaps more one for the longer term.

Form: 7

(7)

Half Moon Rising¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears

22/1

Twice-raced colt. 125/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Others make more appeal for win purposes.

Form: 77

Rock Lodge⁵⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Gray| T: Phillip Makin

50/1

Twice-raced gelding. Eleventh of 14 in minor event (100/1) at Redcar (5f, good) 56 days ago, met some trouble. Will be more appealing in nurseries further down the line.

Form: 40

(10)

Sweet Soul Music

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison

40/1

Foaled February 2. €70,000 yearling, Churchill gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful multiple 5f winner Iffranesia. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run but worth a market check nonetheless.

Form:

(4)

I'm Spartacus³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: B Smart

8/1

Once-raced colt. 8/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) on debut 33 days ago. That experience won't be wasted on him and can be expected to leave that form behind in time.

Form: 6

(11)

Ishe Worth Agamble¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

18/1

Twice-raced colt. 25/1, fourth of 8 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Will qualify for nurseries after this and will be of greater interest when going down that route.

Form: 64

(12)

Haumea

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

20/1

Foaled March 24. 55,000 gns yearling, Invincible Spirit filly. Closely related to 7f winner Deputy and half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Nurse Barbara. Intriguing debutante for shrewd yard and the market should be revealing.

Form:

(3)

Mecca's Duchess¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

4/1

Twice-raced filly. 14/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at this C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago. That represented a step forward compared to her debut effort and she's a live each-way candidate.

Form: 04

(8)

Very Blue Moon²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: D O'Meara

50/1

Once-raced filly. 17/2, sixth of 7 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, good) on debut 29 days ago, slowly away. Probably more of a long-term project.

Form: 6

Non-Runners

Tan Rapido²³

Weight: 9-7| Age: 2

T: C Fellowes J: Callum Shepherd

(9)

Hint Of The Jungle²¹

Weight: 9-5| Age: 2

T: E A L Dunlop J: Hollie Doyle

Forecasts

Airman (8/11), Tan Rapido (2/1), Mecca's Duchess (4/1), Hint Of The Jungle (13/2), I'm Spartacus (8/1), Barnaby (9/1), Ishe Worth Agamble (18/1), Haumea (20/1), Half Moon Rising (22/1), Sweet Soul Music (40/1), Very Blue Moon (50/1), Rock Lodge (50/1)

Newcomer AIRMAN is presumably held in high regard (entered in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes) and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. He gets the nod ahead of Tan Rapido, who chased home a Roger Varian-trained colt on debut at Newcastle and looks a big threat with improvement on the cards. Hint of The Jungle made an encouraging start to his career at Windsor and is third choice ahead of Mecca's Duchess and debutante Haumea.
