11/1
Twice-raced winner. Successful here on debut in July. 50/1, 9 lengths last of 8 to Avicenna in listed race at Doncaster (7f, good) 42 days ago, slowly away. Looks vulnerable under a penalty.

€90,000 foal, 120,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to French winner up to 12.5f Get Set (2-y-o 7f winner) and winner up to 6f Almarada Prince. Booking of Colin Keane is a plus and he needs a second look in the betting.

Foaled April 8. Golden Horn colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 13.3f-20.4f winner Kyle of Lochalsh and 1¼m winner Sandyman. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run and this one will, judged on pedigree, probably need more time and distance. Yard also runs Surrey King.

Twice-raced maiden. 18/1, fourth of 9 in novice at Kempton (7f) 49 days ago. Probably more one for middle distance handicaps next year.

75,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¼m-1½m winner Mistressofillusion and winner up to 11.3f Still Standing (2-y-o 1m winner). Yard has enjoyed success in this race in recent years and he's very much one to note.

Once-raced maiden. 15/2, sixth of 7 in maiden at Ascot (7f, good to soft) on debut 49 days ago. Will need to leave that form behind if he's to emerge on top here.

Foaled February 20. Kingman colt. Half-brother to several winners, including high-class 1m/8.3f winner King of Change, won Queen Elizabeth II Stakes/second in 2000 Guineas. Lots to like on paper, albeit jockey bookings suggest that Oathbound is the stable first-string.

Foaled January 21. 130,000 gns foal, 200,000 gns yearling, Kameko colt. Closely related to useful 1m-11f winner Long Ago and half-brother to useful 2-y-o 6f-7f winner South Seas. Very appealing credentials on paper and confidence behind this colt in the betting would look significant.

25/1
Foaled February 28. 52,000 gns yearling, Palace Pier colt. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner) who stayed 1¾m. Certainly not devoid of appeal on paper, though yard's newcomers tend to come on for a run.

Forecasts

Bnaider (9/4), Qarreeb (7/2), Oathbound (4/1), Alma De Fuego (4/1), Gonna Fly (5/1), King Of Earth (15/2), Electrical (11/1), Kaladan (16/1), Norman Invasion (16/1), Surrey King (25/1), Ataturk (50/1), Hove Ranger (80/1)

Verdict

There's an awful lot to like about OATHBOUND on paper and the hint should be taken if the market vibes surrounding this son of Kameko are upbeat. Gonna Fly and Alma De Fuego are other likely-looking newcomers, while the selection's stablemate King of Earth needs a close look in the betting, too.
