10/3

4/1, green when seventh of 9 in maiden (4/1) at Sandown (7f, good) on debut 47 days ago. Should learn from the experience.

Form: 7

Magic Harry²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: Tom Clover

13/8

Harry Angel colt who showed plenty when third of 5 on 6f Pontefract debut 23 days ago. Likely to improve and leading claims up in trip.

Form: 3

Muhandes

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey

10/1

Foaled February 8. Showcasing gelding. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 1m, second in Nell Gwyn Stakes. Would very much enter calculations if the betting speaks in his favour.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: A King

14/1

Foaled February 12. 70,000 gns Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Better And Better. The market should provide clues as to what is expected from this Alan King debutant.

Palace Legacy¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Tate

7/1

Third in a small-field race at Epsom on debut but failed to build on that when eighth of 10 in a 7f maiden at Sandown (good to soft) 11 days ago.

Form: 38

Quai Louis

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: E Walker

25/1

Foaled January 13. €30,000 breeze-up purchase by Palace Pier. Dam French maiden half-sister to smart 8.4f-1¼m winner Georgeville out of smart 7f/7.5f winner (including at 2 yrs) Big Break. With a good stable and would need considering if the betting vibes are strong.

Solar Mission¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox| T: G Nicholls

300/1

28/1, showed only greenness when well held in novice at Wolverhampton (6f) on debut 13 days ago, very slowly away.

Sterling Cooper

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding

11/1

Foaled February 25. €50,000 Advertise colt. Dam, 2-y-o 8.3f winner, half-sister to useful 9.5f-1½m winner (probably stayed 14.5f) Crack of Light. A respected newcomer.

Forecasts

Magic Harry (13/8), Jinman (10/3), Cites (6/1), Palace Legacy (7/1), Muhandes (10/1), Sterling Cooper (11/1), Oldbullyoungbull (14/1), Quai Louis (25/1), Solar Mission (300/1)

Possibly the weaker of the 2 divisions and MAGIC HARRY stands out among those with experience after his promising first run over 6f at Pontefract last month. Muhandes and Sterling Cooper are newcomers from top stables who could pose a threat if the betting speaks in their favour. Jinman should also step up on his Sandown debut.
