7/2

Blue Point colt was twice sold for six figures and seemed to be getting the hang of things late when fifth of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (5f, firm) on debut 11 days ago. Should improve.

Calef¹⁵

11/4

180,000 gns Blue Point filly produced her best effort third time up when showing good speed to finish third in Catterick maiden. Didn't do quite as much right when fourth of 6 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago, but will have a chance if able to bounce back.

Form: 4434

Naval Cop¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding

15/2

Naval Crown filly from a smart family the connections know well but was too green to get involved on debut and failed to see the longer trip out when sixth of 8 in novice at York (6f, good to firm, 13/2) 16 days ago. Bit to prove.

Form: 46

Shaqra Queen

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

3/1

Foaled February 20. Holy Roman Emperor filly. Sister to useful 1m/9f winner Way To Dubai and half-sister to useful winner up to 6f Lady Youmzain and 7.4f winner Local Girl. Leading yard's newcomers are always respected.

Forecasts

Calef (11/4), Shaqra Queen (3/1), Bolt Of Blue (7/2), Onslaught (13/2), The Mean Fiddler (7/1), Naval Cop (15/2), Sole Ruler (25/1)

THE MEAN FIDDLER cost plenty earlier this year and is bred to be sharp enough to make a winning debut. Karl Burke's newcomer Shaqra Queen is also of serious interest, with Onslaught probably making most appeal of those with experience.
