16/1

90,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 1m Sporting Chance and winner up to 9f Eidikos, both useful. Dam 1½m winner. Newcomer is one to note, especially if the market vibes are positive.

My Kinda Ghaiy¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer

4/1

Promising Ghaiyyath colt who came in fourth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 20/1) on his debut 13 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Sure to do better. Player.

Frankel colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Spinto Soprano. Dam, 9f-10.4f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¾m (stayed 2m) Ispolini. Highly respected on debut.

Blu Chic¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Russell| T: Ollie Pears

250/1

28/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on debut 18 days ago. Needs a big step forward.

Forecasts

Nordic Norm (7/4), Advancing (85/40), My Kinda Ghaiy (4/1), Rahiebb (13/2), Cameron Highlander (16/1), Topteam (22/1), Trojan Soldier (40/1), One True Thing (200/1), Blu Chic (250/1)

Lots of potential on show and the vote goes to Hugo Palmer's son of Ghaiyyath MY KINDA GHAIY who shaped well on his debut when fourth at Southwell and can take a sizeable step forward now. Roger Varian's Frankel newcomer Rahiebb could emerge as the main danger ahead of recent debut scorers Advancing and Nordic Norm.
