Foaled April 3. Dark Angel gelding. Half-brother to 9.5f/1¼m winner Siam Ruby. Dam, third at 7f, closely related to 7f 2-y-o winner and demoted 1000 Guineas winner Jacqueline Quest, who later became ungenuine. Yard 0-46 with 2-y-o newcomers this season.

5,000 gns foal, Bated Breath colt. Dam unraced out of useful maiden who would've stayed 1m Diamond Sky. Never a threat in Doncaster novice and will have a better chance in nurseries.

€24,000 foal, 72,000 gns 2-y-o, Naval Crown colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 1m winner Sugar Goodson. Dam maiden. Always behind in Ascot novice but made his debut in a strong race and likely to leave that run behind.

55,000 gns yearling, €175,000 2-y-o, New Bay colt. Dam, ran twice, closely related to 1m winner Moohaarib and 1m/8.5f winner Argentello (both smart). Promising start when third in Wolverhampton maiden 3 weeks ago. Form has been boosted since and likely to make a bold bid.

Foaled February 4. Dubawi filly. First foal of connections' Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Alpinista, who also made a winning debut as a 2-y-o. Very interesting newcomer.

Forecasts

National Pride (11/8), Waakabb (7/4), Palace Legacy (11/4), Stormy Winter (15/2), A La Montagne (12/1), Breaking The Habit (125/1), Darrington Golf (200/1)

Verdict

WAAKABB showed plenty in a Wolverhampton maiden and can prove too sharp for well-connected newcomers A La Montagne and Stormy Winter.
