Timely Approach²¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott

300/1

7,500 4-y-o, third foal, brother to minor winner abroad, dam winner up to 1½m, including Irish 1000 Guineas and Yorkshire Oaks. Down the field in 2 bumpers last year and makes limited appeal on Flat debut.

Ettore¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Aidan Keeley| T: R Varian

50/1

No impact in either start thus far and will likely be seen in better light when sent handicapping.

Golden Horse

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

3/1

425,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars gelding. Brother to useful 11f/1½m winner Kildare Legend and half-brother to French 6.5f winner My Runner. Highly respected on debut.

Goodwood Mogul¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: M P Tregoning

11/1

Twice-raced gelding who shaped well, back from 14 months off, when fourth of 14 in novice at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 17 days ago. Should be more to come yet.

Form: 0-4

Omon Vase⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Sanderson| T: K Frost

80/1

Looked badly in need of experience when thirteenth of 17 in maiden at Cork (8f, soft) on debut in April. Since left Donnacha Aidan O'Brien (also been gelded) and is probably best watched here.

The Northern Lord

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer

14/1

32,000 gns foal, 20,000 gns yearling, Harry Angel gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Impeachment and 1m-1¼m winner Meet Me In Meraki. Interesting newcomer.

Charming Princess¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

2/5

More than built on encouraging debut effort when close second of 13 in maiden at Ffos Las (8f, good) 18 days ago, clear of rest. Remains open to improvement and is the one to beat.

Forecasts

Charming Princess (2/5), Golden Horse (3/1), Hopeful Joy (7/1), Goodwood Mogul (11/1), The Northern Lord (14/1), Ettore (50/1), Omon Vase (80/1), Timely Approach (300/1)

CHARMING PRINCESS is going the right way and can get off the mark here. William Haggas's newcomer Golden Horse makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and may provide the chief threat, particularly if the market speak in his favour. Goodwood Mogul is also of interest.
