Agamemnon

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: R Hughes

4/1

Foaled February 4. £72,000 yearling, 150,000 gns 2-y-o, Mehmas colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner on only start, half-sister to useful winner up to 8.4f Vetiver. Yard more than capable of readying one, and he's one to note with Ryan Moore booked.

Beauty For Love

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Johnston

20/1

€130,000 yearling. Blue Point colt. Closely related to 7.4f-1¼m winner Conquering Eagle and half-brother to useful 6f winner Apricot Ice and winner up to 1m Seasony (2-y-o 7f winner). Stable 0-6 with 2-y-os last month but needs a close look in the betting with Billy Loughnane aboard.

Jaan Ki Tukri¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox

4/1

140,000 gns Kodiac Colt made an encouraging start when third of 9 on debut at Newbury, just running out of steam late having been a bit keener than ideal. That's typically one of the better early-season maidens so big player with improvement expected.

Form: 3

(6)

Napa¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: K P De Foy| BF

7/2

Naval Crown colt who was strong in the betting when fourth (a neck behind Jaan Ki Tukri) on debut at Newbury, shaping with plenty of encouragement. Gets a vote of confidence from David Egan and with improvement likely, he should be firmly in the mix.

Form: 4

(2)

Noble Raider¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: K P De Foy

14/1

Persian Force colt offered something to work with amid greenness when runner-up on debut at Wolverhampton, and while entitled to do better, he looks the stable's second string on jockey bookings.

Form: 2

(3)

Persian Spring

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

16/1

100,000 gns yearling. Persian Force colt. Closely related to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Beauty Inspire and half-brother to useful winner up to 8.6f Darwell Lion (2-y-o 7f winner) and winner up to 7f Camera Shy (2-y-o 6f winner). Bred to make an impact as a juvenile and he's in excellent hands to do so.

The Dancing Pirate

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

15/8

Foaled May 28. Blackbeard colt. Dam, 6f-7f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Dancing Star. Hails from a family that connections have had plenty of success with, and he's afforded plenty of respect on his racecourse bow.

Forecasts

The Dancing Pirate (15/8), Napa (7/2), Jaan Ki Tukri (4/1), Agamemnon (4/1), Noble Raider (14/1), Persian Spring (16/1), Beauty For Love (20/1)

A valuable novice and it could pay to focus on JAAN KI TUKRI and Napa, who both shaped well in a Newbury maiden that's usually worth following. Clive Cox's charge is fancied to confirm his superiority having been keener than ideal on that occasion. Richard Hannon has had success in this race in recent years and his Persian Spring heads a quartet of interesting newcomers.
