Off time: 12:52 | Winning time: 2m 8.91s

(8)

Arch Legend⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston

150/1

In good hands but has failed to beat a rival in 2 starts.

Form: 99

(2)

Lanfranco

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden

7/2

By Frankel and out of the same connections' dual French Group 1 winner Cornonet. Makes obvious paper appeal.

Form:

(11)

Raheen Rode

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: W J Haggas

10/3

Golden Horn colt. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Behkabad out of smart 1½m-15f winner Behkara. Respected newcomer.

Form:

(9)

Ronnie Raven

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E A L Dunlop

28/1

Raven's Pass gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 1½m), out of once-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Osaila. Probably best watched this time.

Form:

(10)

Succeed

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee

200/1

6,000 gns 2-y-o, Lord Kanaloa gelding. Brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Maybe Just Maybe and half-brother to useful 1¼m winner Cougar. Would be a shock winner on debut.

Form:

(4)

Useless Ees

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: P D Evans

40/1

Cost 20,000 gns as a foal. By Ulysses and closely related to 1½m winners Choral Work and Made of Gold. Best to look elsewhere unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Form:

(1)

Alacrity¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

11/1

Twice-raced filly. 12/1, fifth of 8 in novice at this course (1m) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. This longer trip will suit but she'll need plenty of improvement.

Form: 35

(7)

Games People Play³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

15/8

Promising sort. Third of 7 in novice at Goodwood (9f, soft) on debut 34 days ago. Open to improvement for good stable

Form: 3

(6)

Mohave Dancer²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies| T: C Fellowes

9/1

Promising type. Caught the eye with some late headway from the rear when eighth of 12 in novice at this course (1m) on debut 22 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to improve.

Form: 8

(3)

Peaceful Love

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

6/1

370,000 gns Galileo filly. Closely related to useful 1¼m winner Knight of Honour and 1¼m winner Princess Nadia. One of 2 very interesting newcomers from her leading stable and the betting should help to separate them.

Form:

(5)

Perla Marina¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: George Baker

300/1

28/1, eleventh of 12 in novice at Kempton (1m) on debut 17 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 0

(12)

Waldora³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Kyle Strydom| T: D Menuisier

150/1

Well held on debut in France and only modest form when fifth of 7 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) since. Plenty of improvement will be needed.

Form: 75

Forecasts

Games People Play (15/8), Raheen Rode (10/3), Lanfranco (7/2), Peaceful Love (6/1), Mohave Dancer (9/1), Alacrity (11/1), Ronnie Raven (28/1), Useless Ees (40/1), Waldora (150/1), Arch Legend (150/1), Succeed (200/1), Perla Marina (300/1)

The Gosden stable runs a pair of well-bred newcomers here, with the interestingly-named LANFRANCO preferred to Peaceful Love before betting clues are known. Ralph Beckett's Games People Play showed promise on debut and looks the pick of those with experience, while Raheen Rode is another debutant with plenty to recommend him on paper.
