Believitanducan³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey

125/1

Make Believe gelding. Seemingly much improved from debut when fifth of 6 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 80/1) 30 days ago, racing alone on fair rail in straight. Up in trip. Needs to back that effort up.

Form: 75

Flickering Halo⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: T D Easterby

40/1

Dark Angel colt cost €90,000 as a yearling and showed a bit when fourth of 5 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, heavy) on debut 48 days ago. Since sold for only18,000 gns from Joseph O'Brien, so others are preferred.

Form: 4

Laughing Lord

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: Miss Tracy WaggottWS

150/1

Foaled April 1. €16,000 yearling, Waldgeist gelding. Closely related to 9f winner Theophilos. Dam unraced out of useful 10.3f winner Miss Jean Brodie. Little immediate appeal on paper.

Meydaan

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford

2/1

Foaled February 22. Frankel colt. Dam 1m-1¼m winner, including of Pretty Polly Stakes. Makes plenty of appeal.

Mr Hampstead

15/8

Foaled March 30. $575,000 yearling, Galileo colt. Brother to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Savethelastdance. Top pedigree for a yard whose newcomers command respect.

Sir Geoff Hurst¹³

66/1

Sea The Stars colt. 4/1, last of 8 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) on debut 13 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 8

Tokyo Bay³⁰

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

9/1

Lope De Vega colt. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart 1¼m/10.4f winner Danadana. Did best work late when second of 6 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 13/2) on debut 30 days ago. May well do better now up in trip.

Forecasts

Assailant (7/4), Mr Hampstead (15/8), Meydaan (2/1), Tokyo Bay (9/1), Flickering Halo (40/1), Sir Geoff Hurst (66/1), Believitanducan (125/1), Laughing Lord (150/1)

ASSAILANT sets the standard on the basis of his York third, though newcomers Mr Hampstead and Meydaan possess glittering pedigrees and could well prove above average newcomers. Tokyo Bay also showed plenty to like on his first start and can't be ruled out in an intriguing contest.
