200,000 gns 2-y-o, Kingman colt. Half-brother to several winners, including top-class winner up to 1½m Golden Horn. Shaped as if needing the experience but noted going on nicely by the finish when fifth of 8 in Doncaster novice (7f) on debut in June. Not seen since but seems sure to do better.
|
Boasts a good pedigree and has run to a fair level in 1m maidens the last twice, unable to make his experience tell and having the run of things as well when fourth behind promising winning newcomer at Doncaster 12 days ago. Looks vulnerable in this company.
|
25/1, went with little promise on debut at Chelmsford (1m) last week. May need more time.
|
Too Darn Hot colt with speed on the dam's side of his pedigree but he's struggled in a couple of events over 6f/7f. Gelded and a hood goes on.
|
Foaled March 13. 140,000 gns yearling, Study of Man colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 1¼m winner Harrovian and useful 1m-1¼m winner Alumna. Dam 1½m/12.5f winner. Good pedigree and worth a look.
|
£90,000 Cracksman colt. 20/1, knew enough to be close up but didn't see his race out on debut at Sandown (7f) last month. Should last longer this time but has plenty to find.
|
Foaled April 17. 85,000 gns 2-y-o, Ulysses colt. Closely related to 1m winner Goondiwindi and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 11.5f/1½m winner Zack Mayo and 2-y-o 1m winner Navignies. Newcomer to note for top yard.
|
Foaled March 3. 1,600,000 gns yearling, Dubawi colt. Dam, placed up to 8.5f, sister to high-class winner up to 1½m (1000 Guineas/Oaks) Minding, Oaks winner Tuesday and Irish 1000 Guineas winner Empress Josephine. Fantastic pedigree and obvious appeal on debut for top stable.
|
Foaled March 27. Sea The Stars colt. Half-brother to 10.5f-13.2f winner Motazzen. Plenty of stamina in his quality pedigree.
|
55,000 gns yearling, Waldgeist colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Burnt Sugar and useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Brown Sugar who did well for the yard. Offered something to work on despite proving very easy to back on recent debut at Chelmsford (1m), looking green.
|
Foaled February 22. Shamardal colt. Dam, 1¼m (Prix Jean Romanet)-1½m winner, closely related to very smart 1m (including Queen Anne Stakes) winner Triple Time. From excellent family for connections and worth a look from high draw.
|
Foaled February 4. Dubawi colt. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1½m Laverock. 1 of 2 appealing newcomers for Charlie Appleby.
|
16/1, in need of experience on debut at Ascot (7f) earlier this month and ran to just a fair level. Likely to know more this time, ones from this yard sometimes improving markedly from first to second run.
|
$1,100,000 Justify colt from good US family. 5/1, shaped really well when second, beaten just a head, in 1m Curragh maiden on debut 33 days ago, a bad start probably costing him victory. Will improve and seems sure to go well here if stall 1 doesn't hinder him.
|
Foaled March 29. 700,000 gns Frankel colt. Half-brother to French 1¼m winner Carloun. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 7f-1¼m winner Hadaatha (third in Prix de l'Opéra) out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Hathrah, third in 1000 Guineas. 1 of 2 interesting newcomers for the Gosden yard.
|
40/1, well held though not knocked about on debut at Goodwood (1m) earlier this month. Bred to need time and distance.
|
€185,000 2-y-o, American Pharoah colt from the family of very smart winner up to 1¼m Misty For Me. 10/3, promising start when second, beaten a short head, in 1m Haydock novice 21 days ago, quickening up really well and almost winning despite greenness/a tricky position. Sure to improve. Big player.

Usually a good maiden and this looks brimming with promising colts, notably WAFEI and Ortelius, who went very close first time up. Both are open to plenty of improvement and interestingly are berthed on the opposite sides of the track here, the vote going to Wafei who has the potentially favourable highest draw. 1.6M yearling Duke's Command is of obvious interest first time up for Godolphin and the betting should be informative.
