Bayside Boy gelding who cost €42,000 as a yearling. Attracted support when making a successful start in an 8-runner maiden here (5f, good) on debut 2 months ago. Sets a clear standard.

Foaled April 3. €22,000 foal, Space Blues colt out of a listed-winning dam. Closely related to 8.5f winner Calypso Blue and half-brother to 7f/1m winner Pure Beauty and winner up to 1¼m Daramethos, both useful. One of the more appealing newcomers on paper.

Coulsty gelding who cost 3,000 gns as a yearling. Helped force the pace before showing greenness when eighth of 15 in seller (33/1) at York (6f, good) on debut 19 days ago. Place claims if able to step forward from that.

Foaled April 29. Ardad colt. Dam placed numerous times at 7f/1m. Yard's newcomers are usually better for the outing.

Foaled April 9. €5,000 yearling, Soldier's Call filly. Sister to 1m winner Alabama Calling and half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 7f Duesenberg and 9.5f winner Macho Guest. Yard's juveniles traditionally of more interest in nurseries.

Forecasts

Arapaho Gold (2/9), Travellers Girl (8/1), Brixworth Bandit (10/1), Harry Who (11/1), Mick's The Boy (14/1), Claret Time (25/1), That's All Right (25/1), Scarlet Dynasty (28/1), Noccalula Falls (50/1), Roman Crystal (66/1), Mangham (125/1)

Verdict

ARAPAHO GOLD is very hard to oppose after his debut success here in early May. Travellers Girl and newcomer Harry Who are most appealing of the remainder.
