Too Darn Hot colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 7f/7.4f winner Walk In Marrakesh and useful 7f winner Procrastinate. Dam maiden. Ticks plenty of boxes.
|
Seventh of 11 in novice at Newbury (6f) on debut last Summer but, having attracted support, went backwards from that effort when a well-beaten eighth of 12 in maiden over C&D (good to soft) 6 months ago. Needs to take a big step forward.
|
Twilight Son colt who was well backed and showed plenty of ability when second of 7 in novice at Goodwood (6f, heavy) on debut 6 months ago, likely to have gone very close but for meeting trouble at the hands of the winner. Sure to progress.
|
34,000 gns foal, €50,000 yearling, Showcasing colt. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f-8.2f winner Shady Lady.
|
Too Darn Hot colt who shaped very well by the end having been easy to back when third of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f) on debut 4 months ago, the penny dropping late on. Upped in trip for his turf debut and looks sure to improve on that initial effort.
|
Make Believe colt who was well backed and shaped with plenty of encouragement when second of 16 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, soft) on debut 6 months ago, faring best of the many newcomers and pulling clear of rest. Could well be one to follow this season.
|
€42,000 yearling, Invincible Army gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 9f Eqtiraan and 6f/7f winner Ejtilaab, both smart. Dam unraced half-sister to 5f winner Majestic Missile and 5f/5.6f winner Santo Padre (both smart).
|
Night of Thunder colt who knew his job and travelled best when third of 7 in maiden at this course (8f, good to soft) on debut 6 months ago. Should have more to offer as a 3-y-o.
|
Teofilo colt who showed plenty to work on amidst greenness when sixth of 12 in novice at Chelmsford (7f) on debut 5 months ago, late headway but not unduly punished. Sure to progress.
|
Made a promising start to career behind a previous winner when runner-up in a Kempton novice on debut in August but, having been strong in the betting, went backwards from that effort back there the following month. Market check advised on return/turf debut (has been gelded).
|
Lope De Vega gelding. Half-brother to useful 7f winner Topanga. Dam, unreliable maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to useful 6f/7f performer Thaler out of Falmouth Stakes winner Timepiece.

Forecasts
Indian Springs (2/1), Kaleido (5/2), Nakeeb (16/5), Raafedd (15/2), Sheikh Raj (14/1), Great (20/1), Competizione (25/1), Silent Storm (25/1), Time Allowed (33/1), Regal Guest (33/1), Dragonflame (40/1), Hockney (200/1), Licence To Conquer (200/1)
A host of promising 3-y-os on show with preference for KALEIDO, who shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up in a deep back-end Doncaster maiden last year and he can go one better with improvement on the cards. Indian Springs found the penny dropping late on when third at Kempton in December, so he's put forward as the main threat, with Raafedd, Great and Nakeeb a trio of others worth considering, too.
