Twice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time and gelded, first run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when last of 11 in minor event (150/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 12 days ago, always behind.
|
€350,000 yearling, £32,000 3-y-o, Lope De Vega gelding. Dam, winner up to 1¼m (including Park Express Stakes and 7f winner at 2 yrs), half-sister to Grand Prix de Paris winner Mont Ormel. Market should guide on debut.
|
Oasis Dream gelding. Fair form when second of 6 in maiden at Haydock (7f) on debut 12 days ago, pushed along over 2f out and plugging on. May build on that in a novice lacking depth.
|
Still in need of experience but again showed promise when third of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, soft, 7/4) 18 days ago. Should have more to offer.
|
37,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner gelding. Brother to winner abroad. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Rajasinghe. Another to note in the betting for clues on debut.
|
50,000 gns foal, Ulysses gelding. Brother to Australian 7f winner Wrathful. Yard's newcomers always command respect and the betting should prove a useful guide. Wears tongue strap.
|
Well held both starts last year, thirteenth of 15 in minor event at this course (6f, good to soft, 200/1) when last seen in October. Needs to show much more as he returns from 9 months off.
|
Once-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 6 in minor event at Kempton (6f) on debut 13 months ago. Gelded ahead of return/yard debut but he can only be watched.
|
Lope De Vega colt. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 8.3f (stayed 1½m) Dowayla out of useful 7f winner Baheeja. Interesting newcomer for yard enjoying a fine spell.
|
Displayed plenty of ability when runner-up to a fairly useful sort on debut at Lingfield (1m) in November. Disappointed back from 6 months off at Windsor (1m) in May and has since switched yards. Needs to bounce back.
|
Thrice-raced maiden. Again in process of showing little when brought down in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 150/1) 53 days ago. Can only be watched.
|
Once-raced maiden. Last of 7 in maiden (66/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on debut 48 days ago, weakening over 1f out.
|
Twice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford (6f) in February, no extra final 1f.
|
Offered little in 2 starts in May, thirteenth of 14 in minor event at Haydock (1m, good to firm) 68 days ago, ridden over 3f out and left behind. Low-grade handicaps entitled to be more her bag.
|
Fascinating Rock filly. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class 7f winner (would have stayed 1m) Fast Company. Worth a precautionary market check on debut for clues.
|
Forecasts
Welleef (11/8), Dubai Dreamer (10/3), Lohengrin (4/1), Crown Dreams (5/1), King Of Fury (20/1), Charencey (20/1), Glencalvie (28/1), Polar Rock (50/1), Kinky Boots (50/1), Gracious Grace (100/1), Time Patrol (100/1), Moon Friend (125/1), Andarax (125/1), Madge Mcsplash (150/1), Grainne O Maille (200/1)
DUBAI DREAMER again looked a work-in-progress but showed definite promise when third in a Salisbury novice (7f) 18 days ago, and with potential for better still, he could be worth chancing to take another step forward. Welleef and Lohengrin are a couple of interesting newcomers and both need monitoring for their respective yards. Crown Dreams, runner-up on debut at Haydock, is another to note.
