8/1

Foaled March 17. 13,000 gns by Arizona. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 11.7f/12.5f winner Arya Tara. The fitting of headgear on debut is offputting but the yard has had one placed in this in recent years.

Foaled May 9. River Boyne gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 7f Dream Mover and 2-y-o 7f-8.3f winner Taper Tantrum. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Makes some paper appeal for a stable which saddles 4.

Foaled February 26. Coulsty gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Call Me Harswell. Dam twice-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 9f (including US Grade 1 1m winner) River Boyne. The betting should help to separate him and his 3 stablemates.

9/2

Foaled February 25. £30,000 Kameko colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Moon Ray. Represents last year's winning stable. Has to enter the reckoning.

12/1

Foaled March 31. 19,000 gns Lucky Vega colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 7f winner Broxi and 1m-1¼m winner Lady Gift. Dam of little account. Hollie Doyle booked and worth a market check.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Roger Fell

11/1

Foaled February 13. £4,500 Kessaar gelding. Dam unraced sister to Hackwood Stakes winner Heeraat and 5f/6f Ambiance (both smart) out of unraced half-sister to high-class sprinter Malhub. One of 4 runners for the yard and the betting should provide more clues.

3/1

Foaled March 10. 60,000 gns Sioux Nation colt. Half-brother to winner abroad by Kodi Bear. Dam, 9f winner who stayed 1½m, half-sister to smart 9f-1¼m winner Rockspirit. Same connections won this with a smart one in 2022.

Forecasts

Norman's Cay (3/1), Kamakameleon (9/2), Sucking Diesel (13/2), Archibald Ives (8/1), Monty Magoo (11/1), Kanishka (12/1), Mighty Vega (12/1), The Boreham Bullet (12/1), Ahead Of Fashion (20/1), Justice Twice (20/1), Lope Harswell (22/1), Son Of Sarabi (25/1), Harswell Calling (33/1), Exclamation (40/1), Alkuwarrior (50/1), Harome Star (80/1), Lady Of Honour (80/1)

The obvious starting point is NORMAN'S CAY, who represents the same owner/trainer as 2022 winner Persian Force. That smart juvenile obliged as a short-priced favourite and this son of Sioux Nation would likely be hard to beat if the betting vibes are similarly strong. Sucking Diesel, Kamakameleon and The Boreham Bullet are others who make paper appeal before any betting clues are known.
