8/13

Harry Angel colt who shaped promisingly when fifth in conditions' event on debut at Ascot and matched that form when second of 10 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good) 35 days ago, clear of rest. Remains with potential and he's very much of interest here.

8/1

Sioux Nation colt who showed a bit without being knocked about when eighth of 12 in novice at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on debut 65 days ago. Step up in trip shouldn't inconvenience him and likely he can do better.

Gascony¹⁸

8/1

Pinatubo colt. Half-brother to 1¾m-2m winner Barrel Aged. Shaped better than first time up when fifth of 9 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 40/1) 18 days ago. Plum draw to work from and he may do better again.

10/3

Sergei Prokofiev colt who makes appeal on paper but proved very green when sixth of 7 in novice at Goodwood (6f, good to soft, 13/2) on debut 20 days ago. In good hands however, and surprise where he not to leave that bare form behind.

Form: 6

25/1

Foaled April 22. Mohaather filly. 25/1, showed a bit when seventh of 11 in maiden at Newbury (5.2f, good) on debut 78 days ago, weakening 1f out. This promises to reveal more but others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Angel Of Anfield (8/13), Song of The Clyde (10/3), Wechaad (11/2), Boy Named Sioux (8/1), Gascony (8/1), Mohaasset (25/1)

ANGEL OF ANFIELD very much confirmed the promise of his Ascot debut fifth when finding only one too good in a Windsor maiden (6f) 5 weeks ago and, appealing as the type to do better still, he very much rates the one to beat. Wechaad looks sure to improve from his Leicester debut 32 days ago and rates next best ahead of Gascony.
