Always Happy⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: R Varian| D

1/3

Promising start to her career when winning 7-runner novice (10/11) at Southwell (1m) in March, overcoming a pace bias to reel in a next-time-out winner. Smart prospect.

Form: 1

(8)

Cormorant Rock

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle

300/1

€20,000 Kodi Bear gelding. Dam French 13f winner. Best watched on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Form:

Don Pablo Colina

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: N Callan| T: George Baker

125/1

Lope Y Fernandez gelding. Dam, 1¼m-2m winner who also won over hurdles, sister to winner up to 1½m Chilworth Bells. This one would be a surprise winner on debut.

Form:

(4)

Minerality

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole

50/1

45,000 gns foal. Showcasing half-brother to several winners, including smart 2-y-o 6f winner Cathedral and useful winner up to 1m Tolstoy and useful 6f winner Firebird. Makes enough paper appeal to warrant a look in the betting.

Savvy Disko²⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods

7/1

Fair when reaching the frame in a pair of 7f outings at Newmarket last autumn. Will need to improve on those efforts if he's to strike on reappearance.

Form: 34-

(12)

Turret

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding

17/2

€580,000 Kingman colt who is the second foal of an unraced half-sister to 3 Group 1 winners. Would enter calculations if the betting speaks in his favour.

Form:

York Tower¹⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

11/2

Shaped well when runner-up in 7f novices on turf at Yarmouth and all-weather at Chelmsford last year. Open to progress on return and the obvious threat to Always Happy.

Form: 22-

(7)

Midnight Steppers¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: E A L Dunlop

300/1

Down the field in 2 outings last month.

Molo Del Palazzo²⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M Beckett

11/1

11/2, fifth of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) on debut in September. Should progress for leading stable.

Form: 5-

(1)

Tropical Sands

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker

28/1

Too Darn Hot filly. Closely related to useful 1¼m-11f winner Calmly and half-sister to 9.5f winner Shrewdness and 1¼m winner Stimulate. The betting should help guide to expectations with this newcomer.

Forecasts

Always Happy (1/3), York Tower (11/2), Savvy Disko (7/1), Turret (17/2), Molo Del Palazzo (11/1), Tropical Sands (28/1), Minerality (50/1), Don Pablo Colina (125/1), Notable Charm (250/1), Dupont Circle (300/1), Midnight Steppers (300/1), Cormorant Rock (300/1)

ALWAYS HAPPY created a good impression on her Southwell debut and looks up to defying a penalty. York Tower was runner-up on both outings as a juvenile and is the one likely to chase the selection home unless the market vibes are strong surrounding well-bred Andrew Balding newcomer Turret.
