Blown Away¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

13/2

Shaped with promise when eighth of 11 in maiden (11/1) at this C&D (good to firm) on his debut 14 days ago, considerately handled. This son of Invincible Spirit can build on it now.

Form: 8

Broadway Act¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

4/11

Too Darn Hot colt who made a highly promising start when second of 11 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. Looks a good prospect (holds Group 2 entries) so he's the one to beat.

Form: 2

Jayarebe

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: B J Meehan

16/1

Foaled April 23. €180,000 yearling, Zoffany colt. Half-brother to 1½m-2m winner Malakahna and French 1¼m winner Avolta. Dam useful French winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner). Appeals on paper and holds a Group 1 Dewhurst entry so this newcomer needs considering.

Midair

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton

9/1

Foaled April 17. Frankel colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 1m winner Grand Jete and useful 1m-1¼m winner Diderot. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Bred to be useful so a highly respected debutant.

Pagan King¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: M Murphy & M Keady

250/1

Cockney Rebel colt who came in only tenth of 11 in minor event (200/1) at Kempton (7f) on his debut 16 days ago, slowly away. Lots to find.

Form: 0

Stratocracy¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: R Hannon

12/1

Well-related Inns of Court colt but he came in only seventh of 9 in maiden at Sandown (8f, good to soft, 10/1) on his debut 15 days ago. Yard have won the past two runnings of this event so he's no forlorn hope.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Broadway Act (4/11), Blown Away (13/2), Midair (9/1), Stratocracy (12/1), Jayarebe (16/1), Pagan King (250/1)

BROADWAY ACT looked a sure-fire future winner when runner-up over C&D on his recent debut and can go one better before tackling better company in the autumn (holds entries in Champagne and Royal Lodge Stakes). Newcomer Jayarebe also holds some lofty entries so could emerge as the chief threat to Charlie Appleby's Too Darn Hot colt, although both Blown Away and Midair bring a fair bit of potential too.
