Blue Point colt is a half-brother to several winners, including smart 11f-12.5f winner Sheraz (by Sea The Stars). Won maiden at Saint-Cloud (by ¾ length from Chivere) sole start at 2 yrs. Subsequently sold from A. Fabre for 60,000 gns after. Open to improvement on stable debut.
|
Left debut form well behind to cause a surprise switched to turf, landing 5f Nottingham maiden in the mud, looking good value for it. 6f should suit (from the family of smart Holloway Boy). One to consider.
|
Advertise gelding fetched £40,000 as a yearling. Dam unraced out of useful winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner) Radio Gaga. Likely to come on for the experience.
|
Mohaather colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 6f/7f winner Clitheroe and winner up to 6f Expensive Date, both useful. Dam 6f/7f winner. Makes appeal on paper and could run well if he knows his job on debut.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, good second of 11 in nursery at this C&D on penultimate run but not in the same form when seventh of 12 here last October, in a more steadily run race. One to be interested in on his return following gelding operation.
|
Promising start when fifth of 20 in C&D maiden before bumping into subsequent Coventry runner-up at Ayr. Hasn't been able to build on that in couple of outings since. Now gelded, he may be one for handicaps.
|
Mehmas colt who ran to a fair level when fifth of 9 in maiden at Newbury (6f, soft) on debut last September and might have found the run coming too soon when a well-held fourth at Sandown 8 days later. May have more to offer following a break/gelding operation.
|
Related to some useful sprinting types and showed ability on debut when 10/1, third of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 12 days ago, still green. Will need to find improvement on his second start.
|
Pinatubo colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 6f Miramar. Dam French 7f winner. Broke down and unseated rider after 1f on debut at Newbury last July. Market may guide expectations on reappearance.
|
Harry Angel gelding 135,000 yearling brother to 2-y-o 6f/6.5f winner Bonny Angel and 2-y-o 6f winner Another Gift: dam, French 2-y-o 7.5f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 7f Balthazaar's Gift. Speedily bred and one to note in the betting on racecourse debut.
|
Ribchester filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 1m Intella and winner up to 5.6f J R Cavagin. Likely an outsider on debut.

Forecasts
Lazzar (9/4), Fort Augustus (7/2), Pantani (6/1), Haazeez (13/2), Rapper's Delight (15/2), Sheriff's Court (17/2), Dr Strangelove (16/1), Atmosphere (33/1), Chilly Breeze (33/1), Nacho Nacho Nacho (33/1), Miss Chester (200/1)
Not the strongest novice stakes and debut winner SHERIFF'S COURT may be able to give weight away to his younger rivals on first outing for Sir Mark Prescott. Fort Augustus was second in a nursery here last season and could have more to offer on his return following a gelding operation, while Dr Strangelove is one to note for market support on racecourse debut.
- Sheriff's Court17/2
- Dr Strangelove16/1
