Foaled February 6. Dark Angel colt. Dam, French 10.5f winner, closely related to useful 2-y-o 7f winner (stays 1¼m) Aeonian. Much-respected newcomer.

16/5, ran green when last of 7 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, firm) on debut 59 days ago. Needs to build on it.

7/1
Foaled February 20. 150,000 gns yearling, Invincible Spirit gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Cristal Fizz and 7f winner Persuasion, both useful. Dam 10.3f winner. Appeals on paper so is worth a market check.

Promising second of 10 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good, 66/1) on debut 26 days ago. This Blue Point colt is very much the one to beat.

Forecasts

Skukuza (8/11), Arabic Art (4/1), Invictus Spiritus (7/1), Khisah Bu Thaila (16/1), Anonymous Guest (18/1), Pursuit Of Truth (20/1), Jimmy Speaking (22/1), Lord Danielson (25/1), Etretat (50/1), Knight Templar (125/1)

Verdict

SKUKUZA made a highly encouraging start when runner-up at Newbury and Ed Dunlop's Blue Point colt is strongly fancied to go one better now. Tom Clover's newcomer Invictus Spiritus appeals as the one to chase home the selection ahead of Newmarket sixth Khisah Bu Thaila.

  1. Skukuza8/11
  2. Invictus Spiritus7/1
  3. Khisah Bu Thaila16/1
