Teofilo gelding. Brother to very smart winner up to 11f West Wind Blows and closely related to 2-y-o 6f winner New Winds. Dam 1¼m/10.5f winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper ahead of this belated debut but has to concede plenty of weight to some promising 3-y-os.
|
Twice-raced gelding. 12/1, first run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when fourth of 7 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, outpaced 3f out and plugging on. Handicaps will be more his thing further down the line.
|
Modest form in bumpers and well beaten in a pair of AW novice events in recent weeks. Low-grade handicaps returned to longer trips will be more his thing after this.
|
Dunaden mare who has run to only a poor level in a trio of bumpers at around 2m since the turn of the year. Hard to warm to making debut in this sphere with blinkers retained.
|
€48,000 foal, 130,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 8.6f Lexington Belle and winner up to 1¼m Mackaar, both useful. Equipped with a hood for debut and trainer's newcomers always command respect.
|
Twice-raced colt who made no greater impact than he had on debut when eighth of 11 in novice at this course (10f, 125/1) 21 days ago. Will get a mark after this and handicaps ought to see him in a better light.
|
Make Believe gelding who needs more time, off 5 months/changed yards prior to finishing a well held ninth of 10 in maiden at Doncaster (10.2f, good) 54 days ago.
|
Useful-looking sort who displayed definite signs of ability in 2 starts 4 months apart as a 2-y-o, midfield in big-field sales race at Doncaster (6.5f) when last seen in September. Changed yards and gelded ahead of return and very much appeals as the type to do better still.
|
Adaay gelding. Dam 1m-1¼m winner out of French 11.5f/1½m winner Law of Chance. Likely outsider on racecourse bow.
|
€200,000 Sottsass gelding who had a difficult draw as it went but still showed plenty of ability when third of 14 in maiden (18/1) at Kempton (8f) on debut 45 days ago. That form has worked out well and no surprise to see him thereabouts with progress anticipated.
|
Twice-raced gelding. 50/1, third of 4 in novice at Salisbury (7f, firm) 18 days ago, running green and beaten over 1f out. Type his shrewd stable do well with in handicaps.
|
Very well-related colt who looks the part and he shaped promisingly when second of 9 in novice at Newmarket (7f, soft) on debut in October, found wanting for experience at a crucial stage before keeping on final 1f. Represents top connections' and sure to do better as a 3-y-o upped to 1m.
|
25,000 gns foal, Twilight Son gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1¼m/11f winner Compliant and 5f winner Royal Appointment.
|
62,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath gelding. Brother to smart winner up to 1m Space Traveller and 6f winner Rubia Bella and half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Pellucid. Market can point the way on debut.
|
Showcasing colt who hasn't offered much encouragement in pair of starts 7 months apart, beaten long way out when last of 10 in novice at Southwell (8.1f, 66/1) 25 days ago. Probably type for low-grade handicaps over further.
|
Without Parole gelding. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Continuance. Dam 1m-1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Pedigree suggests this sort of trip may be short of his optimum and likely best watched on debut, unless betting suggest otherwise.
|
Forecasts
Mudbir (8/15), Explode (5/2), Deauville Blue (10/1), Antipodes (12/1), Open Road (18/1), Team Player (22/1), Sea Robbo Run (50/1), Royal Emblem (80/1), Miss Tinkerbell (100/1), Grand Harbour (125/1), Perry Mason (125/1), Take The A Train (150/1), Belaya River (150/1), Believe In Success (150/1), Dor's Dream (200/1), Senor Cortez (200/1)
The choicely-bred MUDBIR shaped with definite promise amidst inexperience when runner-up on debut in a Newmarket novice back in the autumn. Boasting all the hallmarks of one sure to do better as a 3-y-o, he shades the vote ahead of Explode, who produced a solid debut display himself when third from a wide draw at Kempton 45 days ago. Deauville Blue on debut for a new yard and newcomers Antipodes and Open Road also command a second look.
