Foaled March 24. Blue Point colt. Dam, winner up to 1¾m (2-y-o 1m winner), half-sister to very smart 1¼m-1½m winner (stayed 2m) Dubday and smart 13.3f-16.2f winner Dannyday. Very good yard 4-28 with their 2-y-o debutants at the time of writing and another to note in the betting for clues.

Foaled April 17. 3,000 gns yearling, Cracksman colt. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 6f winner Shalaa out of 2-y-o 6f winner (stayed 9.7f) Ghurra. Stable are 0-24 with their 2-y-o runners in last 5 seasons and he's a likely outsider.

Jack Christopher colt who showed plenty when second on debut at the Curragh in June and back on the up when third in listed company at Naas (1m) in July. Disappointed back down in grade in a Galway maiden since but switch to all-weather could see him get back on track. Cheekpieces reached for.

Foaled March 11. Zarak colt. Closely related to 1¼m winner Blessed Honour. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Lilt out of very smart 1m-1¼m (Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf) winner Dank. Top stable are 10-25 with 2-y-o debutants at time of writing this season and well worthy of note

Foaled February 13. Golden Horn filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Cabaletta and useful winner up to 1¼m Pivotal Trigger. Pedigree firmly suggests she's the type to come into her own when tackling longer trips further down the line.

Forecasts

One Number (4/5), Royal Acclamation (11/4), Berkshire Regal (4/1), Blueabad (10/1), Minsmere (18/1), Appassionata (25/1), Yellow Vision (40/1), Dust My Broom (125/1)

Verdict

Joseph O'Brien's ONE NUMBER sets a good standard for a race of this nature judged on the pick of his exploits in Ireland and with the return to 1m/switch to all-weather both potential positives, he earns the vote to leave behind a lesser effort at Galway with first-time cheekpieces now reached for. Charlie Appleby's strike rate with 2-y-o newcomers is an enviable one and his Royal Acclamation commands obvious respect on racecourse bow. Fellow newcomer Blueabad may emerge next best.
