Made a winning debut in a Catterick maiden (5f) on sole outing for Dylan Cunha back in May. Seemed to find things too tough in Windsor Castle at Ascot (5f) on yard debut 21 days ago but return to calmer waters can see him in a much better light now. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Speedily-bred sort who stepped up a little on his debut run when fifth of 6 in novice at Bath (5f, good to firm, 11/1) 47 days ago. In very good hands but nurseries may well prove more his thing moving forward.

Profitable colt who shaped as if in need of the experience when fourth of 5 in novice at Sandown (5f, good) on debut 26 days ago. This should reveal more.

Foaled March 22. 70,000 gns yearling, £300,000 2-y-o, Ubettabelieveit colt. Closely related to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Columnist and half-brother to 5f winners Warrior's Valley and Mendamay. Ticks plenty of boxes on paper and he's a very noteworthy newcomer.

Foaled April 28. 65,000 gns 2-y-o, Cotai Glory colt. Brother to French/Greek 5f winner Aint Misbehaving and half-brother to 2-y-o 5f/6f winners Crime Fiction and Cry Fiction. Dam unraced. Wears hood for debut and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant.

Foaled April 8. Mehmas colt. Half-brother to useful 1m winner Teroomm. Dam, 6f winner who stayed 1m, half-sister to very smart US performer at up to 1¼m Bellamy Road. Makes definite appeal on paper for very good yard and he's one to factor in on debut.

Blue Point filly who displayed a little more than previously when sixth of 10 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good to soft, 12/1) 30 days ago, not knocked about. Looks the type to be more suited by nurseries moving forward.

Twice-raced maiden who showed more than first time up when fifth of 14 in novice at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 28/1) 15 days ago, fading final 1f. Looks the type her yard will do well with in nurseries.

Forecasts

Gaga Mate (11/8), Hilitany (4/1), Taaklam (15/2), Love Alive (10/1), Tickettothestars (12/1), Royalist (16/1), Starakova (16/1), Enricher (18/1), Bassenthwaite (22/1), Acceptance (22/1)

Verdict

Quite an interesting novice with a chance taken on a newcomer in the shape of HILITANY. A £300,000 breeze-up purchase, he ticks plenty of boxes on paper starting out for a yard who are no stranger to success with juveniles and it would come as no surprise to see a bold showing on debut. Gaga Mate sets a clear standard of those with prior experience and he's a big danger returned to calmer waters. Taaklam and Royalist are another couple of debutants to note.
