Arabian Poet⁶⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

15/8

Makes plenty of appeal on paper but looked held back by greenness when seventh of 9 in maiden on the July course (1m) 68 days ago. That experience ought not to have been wasted on him and he's surely capable of better for his leading stable.

Form: 7

16/1

Foaled February 11. Ghaiyyath colt. Dam, 1¼m-1¾m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 2m Lord George. Betting should prove a useful guide on debut.

Love You Back¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore

66/1

Galiway colt who has been sent off at big prices both starts to date, left behind from 2f out when sixth of 7 in novice at Goodwood (9f, heavy) 10 days ago. Looks one for handicaps later on.

Form: 06

Mersea Island¹²

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

10/1

Sea The Stars colt who showed benefit of debut run when fourth of 12 in novice at Kempton (8f, 18/1) 12 days ago, well positioned. Up in trip and feasible to think he can do better again.

Form: 54

St Mawes³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Miss E C Lavelle

5/2

Very green but encouraging he showed a bit having completely blew the start when plugging on sixth of 11 in maiden at Sandown (8f, good) on debut 35 days ago. Entitled to do better but possible he will come into his own next year.

Form: 6

The Cursor

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

7/2

Foaled March 30. 400,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Half-brother to US winner up to 9f Golden Ghost. Dam, French 1¼m winner (Prix de l'Opera) who stayed 1½m, half-sister to smart 1m-1½m winner Huetor. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and well worth a look on debut.

Tremorgio^p1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby

9/1

Foaled January 23. Dubawi gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Duneflower out of useful 2-y-o 7f winner Desert Blossom. Needs considering on debut for top yard. Cheekpieces on.

Forecasts

Arabian Poet (15/8), St Mawes (5/2), The Cursor (7/2), Tremorgio (9/1), Mersea Island (10/1), Ivatt (16/1), Love You Back (66/1)

THE CURSOR makes plenty of appeal for a stable who won this 12 months ago and he could just be worth chancing on debut before the benefit of market clues. Arabian Poet, who proved too green to make an impact on debut, is surely capable of better, and along with his stablemate Tremorgio, may well emerge as the lead dangers.
