Satellite Of Love⁵⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Georgia Dobie| T: C G Cox| D

6/1

Minzaal colt who reached £45,000 as a yearling. Knew his job when winning a 12-runner maiden (13/2) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 56 days ago, knuckling down well to assert in the final 1f. Penalty to carry here but should progress.

Foaled February 19. €27,000 foal, €55,000 yearling, Naval Crown colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 7f-8.6f winner Romanovich. In-form yard can ready a newcomer and betting might prove best guide as to expectations between him and stablemate Chief Minister.

3/1

Foaled February 4. €120,000 yearling, €370,000 2-y-o, Too Darn Hot colt. Closely related/half-brother to 2 winners abroad by Night of Thunder and Frankel. Cost plenty earlier this year and rates as a very interesting newcomer.

Forecasts

Agrippa (11/4), Untouchable (3/1), Can't Stop (4/1), Satellite Of Love (6/1), California School (12/1), Rapid Deployment (16/1), Sayid Harry Angel (16/1), Baddaddan (18/1), First Mate (18/1), Chief Minister (40/1)

AGRIPPA shaped with plenty of encouragement in a strong-looking Doncaster novice and might be able to get the better of penalised Windsor winner Satellite of Love. There are plenty of interesting types on paper making their debut, with Amo Racing's expensive colt Untouchable perhaps the most appealing of them.
