2/1
Carries a 7 lb penalty for running away with a Brighton maiden by 7½ lengths second time up. Mixed messages about the value of that form but still high on the shortlist with further progress likely.

Foaled May 6. €30,000 yearling, Bayside Boy colt. Dam, French 1½m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 10.5f Ocovango. Yard's debutants have typically been needing the run this season.

Showed ability when 5¾ lengths fifth of 9 in racecourse bow at Lingfield. Will probably be better over further/in handicaps.

Foaled February 28. Harry Angel colt. Dam, 11f-1½m winner, half-sister to smart 1m-1¾m winner Cemhaan. Pedigree of contrasts but yard did have a big-price newcomer win here on Tuesday.

Improving son of Space Traveller. Went close on his third career start at Doncaster (7f) last time, pulling clear with the standard-setting favourite. Looks the one they all have to beat.

Foaled April 16. €42,000 yearling, State of Rest gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 1m-1½m winner Glen Force, 6f winner Promising and winner up to 6f Lethal Promise, all useful. Makes some appeal on paper, though a slight niggle that cheekpieces are fitted first time up.

Showed more than on debut when beaten 4½ lengths third in a 4-runner course maiden (6f) latest. Probably best to take that form with a pinch of salt, though.

Foaled March 12. 14,000 gns foal, €20,000 yearling, Sergei Prokofiev gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 9.5f Lazieelunch and 2-y-o 7f winner Renovatio Angel. Dam 1¾m winner. Probably one for the longer term, unless the market suggests otherwise.

Timeform
Foaled March 16. Universal colt. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 1m winner Alobayyah out of useful 2-y-o 7f/1m winner (stayed 1¼m) Aquatinta. Yard enjoying a fine season with their juveniles. Needs considering, especially if supported.

Forecasts

Keep Grating (11/10), Telegraphic (2/1), Javelot (13/2), Strong Performance (9/1), Biscaysian (16/1), Cracking Idea (22/1), Pirates Paradise (33/1), Spes Durat Avorum (80/1), Sovereign Dawn (100/1)

Verdict

KEEP GRATING should make amends for his narrow miss at Doncaster last time. Likely improver Telegraphic looks the percentage call for the forecast, though support for debutant Strong Performance would be significant.
