Twice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in novice (80/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago, very slowly away. One for the longer-term.
|
130,000 gns yearling, Dark Angel colt. Sent off favourite when fourth of 9 in novice at Kempton (7f, 5/2) on debut 30 days ago, still green and offering something to work out. Likely to improve.
|
Foaled March 30. €20,000 yearling, Persian King colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 1m London Protocol and 1m-1½m winner High As A Kite. Dam maiden (including over hurdles). Newcomer is probably one for the future.
€75,000 yearling, Sioux Nation colt. Closely related to 7.7f winner Native Queen and half-brother to 8.4f-1¼m winner Isotope and 1m winner Flower Garland. In excellent hands and one to note on racecourse debut.
Well held sole start for Aidan O'Brien (sold for 16,000 gns) but showed much more on second start for new yard, second of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 15 days ago, finishing with running left having been short of room. Has solid claims to go one better.
|
Shaped as if in need of the experience when 50/1, seventh of 9 in novice at Southwell (5f) on debut 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip and likely to need more time.
|
Showed ability on second and final start for Roger Varian when seventh of 11 in novice at Lingfield (7f, AW), caught wide/met trouble and not given a hard time. Has changed hands for 40,000 and is likely to prove capable better at some stage.
|
Once-raced maiden. 33/1, sixth of 7 in novice at this C&D on debut 13 days ago. Looks a longer-term project.

Forecasts
Euston Hall (2/1), Lake Como (9/4), King's English (5/2), Victory Ace (8/1), Highland Shah (12/1), What Fools Believe (50/1), Petes Diamond (50/1), Crown Inn To Win (100/1)
LAKE COMO was much improved when runner-up at Lingfield last month, finishing with running left having been denied a clear run, and he's taken to go one better here. Euston Hall is in good hands and should improve on just his second start, while stable debutant Victory Ace and newcomer King's English both make appeal, particularly if supported.
