Ebt's Warrior¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: W Muir & C Grassick

16/1

Earthlight colt who is related to a host of useful winners, but he faced a stiff task starting out against a pair with experience when last of 3 in a Leicester novice (7f) 18 days ago. Probably one for later on.

Form: 3

El Morjan

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

Ground Force³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: James Owen

125/1

Son of Land Force who was at long odds for debut and, having got upset in the stalls, showed little when down the field in a class 2 Goodwood maiden (6f) 4 weeks ago. Gelded subsequently and this promises to reveal more.

Foaled February 6. 75,000 gns foal, 55,000 gns yearling, Minzaal colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 1m winner Piece of History and winner up to 1m Hornsby, both useful. Betting can guide on debut.

Market Leader²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: K R Burke

15/8

€450,000 breeze-up purchase who was still green but nevertheless did better than on debut when 4 lengths fifth of 13 in a Goodwood maiden (7f) 26 days ago. Represents leading yard boasting an enviable record with their 2-y-os and he's very much the type to progress further.

Form: 35

200/1

Foaled April 20. 8,500 gns foal, Sergei Prokofiev gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Flash Rascal. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 6f Evens And Odds.

5/6

Foaled February 25. 800,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder colt. Dam 11f/1½m winner who stayed 1¾m. Very appealing newcomer who holds a Royal Lodge entry and no surprise to see him feature prominently on racecourse bow.

Form: 76

Neverbeatdeswalker¹

Weight: 9-7| Age: 2

T: M Walford J: J Garritty

Forecasts

Night Of Gold (5/6), Market Leader (15/8), El Morjan (10/3), Ebt's Warrior (16/1), Secano (50/1), Alfa Hoodini (50/1), Neverbeatdeswalker (66/1), Icy Moon (125/1), Ground Force (125/1), Nicamoo (200/1)

Group 2 entrant NIGHT OF GOLD ticks plenty of boxes on paper representing the George Boughey/Billy Loughnane combination and he could be worth siding with to score at the first time of asking before market clues. Market Leader stands out of those with prior experience and is going the right way so he commands obvious respect also, whilst El Morjan is another appealing debutant hailing from the Gosden stable.
