11/4
110,000 gns Invincible Army colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Secret Angel and winner up to 1m Queensbrydge. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner). This newcomer would very much enter the reckoning if the betting speaks for him.

40,000 gns Showcasing half-brother to winner abroad by New Approach. Dam, 1¼m winner, closely related to very smart 1m winner Mustashry. Debutant from a respected stable. Needs a market check.

Forecasts

Roman Emperor (5/6), Novarro (11/4), Artistic Mission (9/2), Eastern Dream (12/1), Rob's Umberella (14/1), Diligent Henry (33/1), Noble Consort (50/1), Kohana Girl (150/1)

Verdict

ROMAN EMPEROR gets the nod to build on his recent Chelmsford second and make it third time lucky, although a strong market move for newcomer Novarro would put a slightly different slant on things. The other Sheikh Mohammed Obaid runner Artistic Mission should also be thereabouts.
