Anzac Day¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: A M Balding

13/2

200,000 gns yearling who showed plenty of ability once he got the hang of things on his 9f Goodwood debut (soft) 10 days ago. Likely improver.

Form: 4

(4)

Crown Of India

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker

25/1

€160,000 Camelot colt. Half-brother to winner abroad by Churchill. The betting should help guide to expectations with this one.

Dr Hackenbush²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J & T Gosden

40/1

From a top stable but he was sent off at 50/1 and didn't offer much in the way of short-term encouragement on his C&D debut 4 weeks ago.

Form: 0

(9)

Palace Green²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hughes

5/2

Unseated at the start on his debut so was effectively making his debut when promising length third of 8 at Bath (1m, soft) 23 days ago. Will stay 1¼m and improve.

Form: U3

(7)

Peter Piper²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: D K Ivory

200/1

More one for handicaps judged on his 2 runs to date 4 months apart.

Form: 85

(8)

Sea The Thunder²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

5/2

Left his fast-ground Ascot debut well behind when going down only narrowly under much softer conditions at Salisbury (1m) 4 weeks later. More to come and leading claims with 1¼m likely to suit.

Form: 92

(5)

The Hun¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 78

4/1

Showcasing colt who has been placed on all 3 starts, shaping like a stayer again when third of 8 over this trip at Pontefract (good to soft) 16 days ago.

Form: 223

(1)

Tribal Star

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

4/1

550,000 gns Sea The Stars gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart French/US winner up to 1½m Soldier Rising, placed in several Grade 1 events in US. Makes obvious paper appeal.

Form:

(2)

Victoria Concordia

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: R Brisland

80/1

40,000 gns Camelot filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m/9f winner Alnaseem and useful winner up to 1m Almuheet. Bred to have a future but a watching brief is advised this time.

Forecasts

Sea The Thunder (5/2), Palace Green (5/2), Tribal Star (4/1), The Hun (4/1), Anzac Day (13/2), Crown Of India (25/1), Dr Hackenbush (40/1), Victoria Concordia (80/1), Anthracite (125/1), Peter Piper (200/1)

SEA THE THUNDER shaped well when going close at Salisbury earlier this month and is taken to strike at the third time of asking. There was also promise from Palace Green at Bath recently, on what was effectively his debut, and he could pose the chief threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Charlie Appleby newcomer Tribal Star.
