At Vimeiro²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

11/8

Sea The Stars colt who caught the eye on his 1m Doncaster debut and took a big step forward from that when 4 lengths seventh of 9 to Ghostwriter in Group 2 Royal Lodge over C&D last month. Sets a good standard with his sights lowered.

Form: 57

100/1

100,000 gns Camelot gelding. Half-brother to useful winner up to 9f Great Dancer and 1m winner Rockview Empress. One of 2 newcomers from the stable and the market should help to separate them.

Sea The Moon gelding. Half-brother to 7f-11.6f winner Evangelist and 1¾m/15f winner Yangtze, both useful. Dam winner up to 14.6f (2-y-o 7f winner). Probably more one for longer trips further down the line.

33/1

Golden Horn colt. Half-brother to useful 1m-1¼m winner Burdett Road. Yard has the same owner's promising Ambiente Friendly, who won on debut, to compare this one to so a market move would be interesting.

Forecasts

At Vimeiro (11/8), Feigning Madness (9/4), Temple City (7/1), Signalman (17/2), Fihrayn (12/1), French Duke (16/1), Almaqam (25/1), East India Dock (33/1), Harper's Ferry (50/1), Different Drum (50/1), Cambria Legend (100/1), Warmonger (300/1)

AT VIMEIRO was only beaten 4 lengths in the Royal Lodge over C&D so he sets the bar pretty high for a race like this. Feigning Madness looked useful when winning on debut, while Temple City and French Duke are newcomers who make plenty of paper appeal.
