Archivist

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute

11/2

Foaled February 13. Brother to smart winner up to 1m New Kingdom and half-brother to 7f-8.3f winner Cruyff Turn and 1¼m winner Paddy The Squire, both useful. Yard's 2-y-os generally come on for a run but this Dubawi colt ticks plenty of the right boxes and needs a close look in the betting.

Best Adventure²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

3/1

Once-raced colt. 7/2, fourth of 7 in minor event at Haydock (7f, firm) on debut 25 days ago. Open to improvement for respected connections.

Form: 4

Hot Property³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Johnston

9/1

Once-raced colt. 8/1, fourth of 6 in minor event at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) on debut 30 days ago. Likely to improve with that experience to draw upon here.

Form: 4

Seraph Gabriel¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

10/11

10/1, fourth of 11 in minor event at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) on debut 19 days ago, staying on well. The second and third haven't exactly boosted the form since but this colt will benefit from this step up to 7f and he's the one to beat.

Form: 4

Spirit Lead Me

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: George Rooke| T: R Hughes

16/1

Foaled March 25. £75,000 yearling, 82,000 gns 2-y-o, Calyx colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 6f winner Hey Jonesy. Watch the betting for clues.

Forecasts

Seraph Gabriel (10/11), Best Adventure (3/1), Archivist (11/2), Hot Property (9/1), Spirit Lead Me (16/1)

Though the three with experience all look promising, the vote goes to newcomer ARCHIVIST, who looks the part on paper. It goes without saying that confidence behind him in the betting would look significant. Seraph Gabriel shaped well on his introduction at Newbury and he is feared most ahead of Hot Property.
