1/2
New Bay gelding who shaped with plenty of promise amidst obvious greenness when finishing a head second of 12 in maiden at Newbury (1m) in spring 2025, meeting trouble and unlucky not to win. Absent subsequently but he evidently rates a useful prospect for his leading yard.

€92,000 purchase who was tongue tied for debut and offered little when sixth of 9 in maiden at Kempton (1m) 24 days ago. Best watched for now.

22,000 gns 2-y-o, New Bay gelding. Closely related to 5f winner Ubahha and half-brother to useful winner up to 1m Tafreej. Dam, 1½m winner, sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Taghrooda. Ticks plenty of boxes on paper so noteworthy if supported on debut.

12/1
£32,000 yearling, Dandy Man colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Military Girl. Dam 5.5f/6f winner. Stable’s first-timers always command serious respect and confidence behind him in the market would look significant.

9/4
Well-related sort who shaped as if better for the run when coming in last of 4 in class 2 novice at Salisbury (7f) on debut in July. In top hands and no surprise were he to leave that behind as a 3-y-o.

Forecasts

Beagle Bay (1/2), Wield (9/4), Different Opinions (12/1), Bumaan (14/1), Achalugo (100/1), Serragasso (200/1)

Verdict

Returning BEAGLE BAY concedes plenty of weight to his rivals but it was a highly encouraging debut effort he produced when an unlucky second at Newbury last spring and, he may well be up to the task on return to action. Karl Burke newcomer Different Opinions may be the one to give him most to think about.
