Ancestor³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| D

8/15

Sea The Stars gelding who was all the wiser with his debut behind him when winning at Yarmouth (1¼m, firm) 30 days ago. That form has been boosted and he'll be very hard to beat if improving again as anticipated.

Form: 41

Golden Caviar⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: E A L Dunlop

22/1

Has hinted at ability when fifth in maidens at Newmarket and Wolverhampton 10 months apart without showing enough to think he'll be winning this side of handicaps.

Form: 5-5

(2)

Tropical Sands⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: C Lee| T: E Walker

13/8

Promise amidst inexperience when reaching the frame in novices at Lingfield (1m, all-weather) and Newbury (9f, good to soft) at the start of the summer. Open to further progress with 1¼m likely to suit.

Form: 43

Forecasts

Ancestor (8/15), Tropical Sands (13/8), Golden Caviar (22/1)

ANCESTOR had some useful types behind him when winning at Yarmouth and looks up to giving the weight away to Tropical Sands, who has shown promise on both starts but will likely need to advance her form a good bit to seriously trouble the selection.
