8/13

Green and noisy beforehand prior to finishing midfield on debut in a Newbury maiden back in May but different proposition having been gelded when successful in 7-runner maiden at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago, kept up to work. Of firm interest under a penalty with prospect of more to come.

Form: 81

Authentic Charm¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: C G Cox

13/2

45,000 gns yearling, Sergei Prokofiev colt. Showed promise when second of 8 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good to firm) on debut 13 days ago, coming home strongly once the penny dropped. In good hands and he's very much the type to progress.

Form: 2

Elan D'or¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams

10/1

Green and in need of experience but promise to glean from each of his 2 starts to date, improving on debut form when fifth of 8 in maiden (12/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago. Can do better again, not least when tackling 7f+.

Form: 65

Greatworth

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Wright⁽⁵⁾| T: George Scott

100/1

Foaled February 7. 20,000 gns yearling, Profitable gelding. Brother to winner abroad. Dam 12.4f winner out of half-sister to top-class winner up to 7f Dream Ahead. Market can point the way on debut.

Justmyluck¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Grace McEntee| T: J Butler

100/1

Harry Angel gelding who showed definite ability when sixth of 8 in maiden (25/1) at Haydock (6f, good to firm) on debut 13 days ago, fading final 1f. Feasible to think he can do better but he may be one more for handicaps later on.

Form: 6

My Dad Tom²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: R Hannon

50/1

Profitable colt. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful 7f winner Helvezia. 10/1, fifth of 6 in novice at this C&D (good to soft) on debut 22 days ago, running green over 2f out. Should know more this time and better showing anticipated.

Form: 5

Sanaam¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford

4/1

550,000 gns yearling, Blue Point colt. Showed plenty of ability when second of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good) on debut 17 days ago, caught near finish. Fully expected to improve and he's one of the likelier types here.

Form: 2

Sprinting Speed¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Fahy| T: R Hannon

66/1

Twice-raced colt who stepped up on his debut even allowing for the fact he wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 9 in maiden at Sandown (5f, good, 16/1) 16 days ago. Likely he can do better again and he'll have nurseries as an option on the back of this.

Form: 56

Watcha Snoop

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: N Callan| T: H Palmer

17/2

Foaled February 22. €15,000 foal, £45,000 yearling, Coulsty colt. Dam maiden half-sister to winner up to 7f Dream Eater and winner up to 13f Dreamspeed (both smart) out of useful 1¼m/10.5f winner Kapria. Hails from a stable in good form and this Group 2 entry commands respect on racecourse bow.

Forecasts

Words Of Truth (8/13), Sanaam (4/1), Hallandale Beach (5/1), Authentic Charm (13/2), Watcha Snoop (17/2), Elan D'or (10/1), My Dad Tom (50/1), Sprinting Speed (66/1), Justmyluck (100/1), Greatworth (100/1)

WORDS OF TRUTH was an all-round improved model on the back of being gelded when a good winner of an Ascot maiden 4 weeks ago and the type to progress further, he may well be up to defying the penalty. Sanaam and Authentic Charm both shaped promisingly on their respective debuts and rate the principal dangers. Newcomer Watcha Snoop is also worthy of a second look.
