Lope Y Fernandez colt who was at long odds and showed only greenness when last of 7 in novice at Redcar (9f, good to soft) on debut 24 days ago, very slowly away and always behind.

Sea The Moon colt who is bred for longer trips and he offered little immediate encouragement when twelfth of 15 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good, 50/1) on debut 20 days ago. Handicaps over further next year promise to be more his thing.

Foaled March 23. 100,000 gns yearling, New Bay gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Montather out of useful winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Lanansaak. Noteworthy newcomer representing top stable.

220,000 gns purchase as a yearling but seemed backward when tenth of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 38 days ago, pushed along under 3f out and dropping away. Represents top connections however, and this promises to reveal a good deal more.

Big prices and well beaten in pair of AW/turf maidens at around this trip in October. One for later on.

Foaled February 6. Dark Angel gelding. Dam, 1¼m-2¼m winner, also won over hurdles, half-sister to useful 7.5f/1m winner Trip To Glory. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.

Palace Pier colt who shaped much better than he had first time up faced with a step up in trip when fourth of 6 in maiden at Chelmsford (10f) 35 days ago. Likely he can do better again, with handicaps an option after this.

Kameko colt who makes plenty of appeal on paper and he offered something to work on amidst greenness when fifth of 10 in novice at Newbury (8f, heavy) on debut 27 days ago. Represents top stable and highly likely there's better to come.

Foaled February 26. Dubawi colt. Closely related to 1½m winner Echo Chamber and half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Uncle Bryn. Dam 9f-10.4f winner. Makes paper appeal so interesting if market vibes prove to be positive.

Foaled February 13. Ghaiyyath gelding. Closely related to useful 7f winner Telemark. Dam, 7f/1m winner who stayed 11f, half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Champlain and 1¼m-11.6f winner Ustura (both useful). Hooded for debut and he commands a close market check.

Forecasts

Ensor Mews (2/1), Oathbound (5/2), Tewkesbury (13/2), Rumbustious (15/2), Crockham Heath (17/2), Interstate (10/1), Killer Whale (12/1), Magnetude (22/1), Just Call Me Mo (200/1), Cartrefle (200/1)

Verdict

The well-bred OATHBOUND offered something to work on amidst greenness when midfield in a 10-runner Newbury novice (1m) on debut 4 weeks ago and, sure to improve for that initial experience, he could well be up to landing this. The main threat may emerge from the newcomers, Ensor Mews, Tewkesbury and Killer Whale selected in that order of preference before market clues.
