Baltic Fleet¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: G Boughey

9/4

€75,000 breeze-up purchase went with some promise despite obvious inexperience when fifth of 10 in novice at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft, 9/1) on debut 17 days ago, not given a hard time. That form has been given a boost and he could be open to improvement stepping up in trip.

Form: 5

(9)

Starship Trooper

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding

15/2

55,000 gns yearling, Sea The Moon colt. Half-brother to French 9f winner On The Balcony and 1m winner Teodolina. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Remember You. Newcomer makes some appeal on paper for excellent yard.

Devil's Brigade

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: E A L Dunlop

28/1

€16,000 yearling, 20,000 gns 2-y-o, Calyx gelding. Dam lightly-raced maiden out of smart winner up to 8.5f (2-y-o 5.7f winner) Katdogawn. Market should prove informative with yard also saddling Ballon Rouge.

Form:

(11)

New Bay Star

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: C Johnston

8/1

€42,000 yearling, New Bay colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 7f winner Lose Yourself and 1¼m/11f winner Hafez. Has some quality in his pedigree and is one to note in the betting for a yard who can ready one first time up.

Form:

Tai Hang Pegasus

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes

16/1

€55,000 2-y-o, War of Will colt. Dam unraced sister to US 2-y-o 7.5f/8.5f winner Ari Gold and half-sister to US 1m winner Petruchio. Newcomer from yard who have hit the frame with their last 3 juvenile debutants.

Green Falcon²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 77

5/4

Well-bred son of Kameko whose debut third has worked out well. Improved when fourth in a conditions race at Clairefontaine but didn't look the easiest ride when fourth in a 6-runner novice at Goodwood last time. However he's in much calmer waters here and could get off the mark upped in trip.

Form: 344

(7)

Loose Connection¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M L W Bell

80/1

Hinted at ability when third on all-weather debut but finished last of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW, 20/1) 15 days ago. Up in trip for turf debut but may be one for handicaps.

Form: 39

(6)

Telfy Boy^p1²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: Michael Keady

100/1

Ran to a similar level as on debut when fifth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f) 28 days ago. Up in trip with cheekpieces on for first time on turf debut but may be better off in low-grade nurseries.

Form: 45

(5)

Femme Fatale⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tate

11/1

Bred to need time and distance and shaped accordingly when sixth of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, good to firm, 11/1) on debut 45 days ago. Entitled to come for that run but she may prove one for the longer-term.

Form: 6

(2)

Kalika⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: P Owens

200/1

Could hardly have shown less when last of 8 in maiden (80/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) on debut 41 days ago, very green and flashed tail. Needs to leave that run well behind.

Form: 8

(10)

Ballon Rouge¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop

66/1

Offered something to work with at long odds when fourth of 5 in novice at Chelmsford City (8f, 33/1) on debut 19 days ago. Steps up in trip on first turf start but looks another who'll be better off in nurseries.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Green Falcon (5/4), Baltic Fleet (9/4), Starship Trooper (15/2), New Bay Star (8/1), Femme Fatale (11/1), Tai Hang Pegasus (16/1), Devil's Brigade (28/1), Ballon Rouge (66/1), Loose Connection (80/1), Telfy Boy (100/1), Kalika (200/1)

GREEN FALCON has mixed it in better company than this to date and despite not looking totally straightforward, he may be able to get off the mark over this slightly longer trip. Baltic Fleet showed promise on debut when fifth in a Windsor maiden and that looks solid form, while the market should prove informative regarding the newcomers, New Bay Star perhaps the most likely to make an impact on paper.
