6/1
€65,000 yearling, Galiway colt who was well backed and showed promise when third of 7 in maiden at Haydock (7f, good to firm, 15/8) on debut 27 days ago, outpaced 2f out before rallying final 1f. Looks the type to improve with the step up to 1m expected to suit.

Foaled March 1. Night of Thunder colt. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Royal Rhyme. Makes definite appeal on paper for a stable no stranger to success with their newcomers and market confidence behind him would need to be viewed positively.

Cotai Glory colt who shaped with definite promise when finishing sixth of 10 in maiden at Haydock (7f) in June (race worked out well) so disappointing he took a backward step when fifth of 8 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good) 18 days ago. Still, too soon to be writing him off.

Forecasts

Bow Echo (2/1), Home Hero (2/1), Be The Standard (6/1), Lost Boys (7/1), Thatcham (7/1), Pearl River (18/1), Night Patrol (33/1)

Verdict

A very interesting small field maiden with a host of appealing newcomers in opposition. BOW ECHO is one of those, representing connections' who landed this race 12 months ago and could well be worth siding with before the benefit of market clues. Home Hero is another debutant making a good deal of appeal and he needs considering, as does his stablemate Be The Standard who shaped well when third on debut at Haydock recently. Lost Boys is another to monitor closely in the betting.
