1/3

€550,000 breeze-up buy who built on debut promise when third of 17 in Convivial maiden at York (7f) in August. Not seen since but seems sure to progress further and has leading claims.

4/1

390,000 gns yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to very smart 6f winner Mill Stream and useful winner up to 6f Asymmetric. Ran as if in need of run for fitness and experience when eighth of 13 at Doncaster (6f) last month and should improve.

Sergei Prokofiev filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Sidcot Swallet and useful 6f winner Drama. Dam, winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner), half-sister to very smart winner up to 9.5f Monsieur Chevalier. Makes appeal on paper for capable yard.

Forecasts

Realign (1/3), Tasalla (4/1), Questa Notte (6/1), Brave Guest (10/1), Lord Montague (11/1), Soviet Symphony (16/1), Rajeteriat (25/1), Adaay Dancing (200/1)

The one who stands out is REALIGN, who finished an excellent third in the Convivial maiden at York on his final 2-y-o start and will surely take plenty of beating if anywhere near that level on his return to action. Tasalla should improve on his opening effort at Doncaster, with Lord Montague most interesting of the newcomers before market clues.
