Federated³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: J Butler

50/1

33/1, offered something to work on amidst considerable greenness when fifth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut 39 days ago. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: 5-

(6)

Reign Of Thunder⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: M D I Usher

250/1

200/1, last of 5 in minor event at Southwell (11.1f) 9 days ago, flattered by proximity. Down in trip.

Form: 95

Daytona Beach¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Rae Guest

18/1

Bumper winner. Fifth of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 16/1) 13 days ago, late headway but not knocked about.

Form: 7-5

Calumet

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti

9/2

Calyx colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1¾m Giavellotto and useful 1½m-2m winner Geremia. Dam useful Italian 9f-1½m winner. Certainly worth a market check.

Form: 6-8

(5)

Musical Dancer

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: C Appleby

10/3

Dubawi colt. Brother to very smart 1m/8.5f winner Laugh Aloud and useful 1m winner Cantilena. Dam 2-y-o 9f winner. 1 of 2 newcomers for this yard and warrants considerable respect for all the stable jockey has chosen Silent Age.

Silent Age

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

8/13

Dubawi gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 1m), half-sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Rebel's Romance (by Dubawi). Seemingly the choice of William Buick so he's of obvious interest.

Form:

(8)

Suspicion

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: T E Whelan| T: Ollie Sangster

10/1

65,000 gns yearling, Make Believe colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Ninjago out of useful French winner up to 1¼m Fidelio's Miracle. Plenty to like on paper.

Form:

Forecasts

Silent Age (8/13), Musical Dancer (10/3), Calumet (9/2), Suspicion (10/1), Daytona Beach (18/1), Federated (50/1), Escape The Grape (150/1), Reign Of Thunder (250/1)

This is highly likely to go to a newcomer and Godolphin pair SILENT AGE and Musical Dancer could be the ones worth focusing on. Preference is for the former, who has already been gelded but gets the vote of confidence from William Buick, while debutants Suspicion and Calumet shouldn't be underestimated, either.
