Code Of Honour

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

6/4

Foaled March 17. Frankel colt. Dam, 1¼m winner, sister to Lockinge/Champion Stakes winner Farhh and very smart 1m-10.3f winner Racing History. Makes plenty of appeal on debut for yard who do very well with their newcomers.

Form: 64

Epistle²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: H Main

150/1

5,000 gns yearling (private sale), Pinatubo colt. 33/1, badly in need of experience when sixth of 8 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, firm) on debut 29 days ago, very slowly away. Best watched.

Form: 6

Hamrin

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

9/4

Foaled January 3. €100,000 foal, €140,000 yearling, Camelot colt. Dam US 6f winner. Worth a market check for top yard though their runners tend to come on for the experience.

Lead The Squad^t1¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Wright⁽³⁾| T: George Scott

125/1

Cost plenty as a yearling but hasn't cut much ice in 2 outings and probably needs more time and distance. Tongue strap goes on.

Form: 87

Netherstream²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

3/1

Shown a bit on both outings to date, improving on debut effort when fifth of 10 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Entitled to be in the mix.

Form: 35

Sydney Carton^h⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: James Owen| OR: 76

11/2

Improved on the back of a gelding operation when 1½ lengths third of 9 to Wykehurst Park in maiden at Yarmouth (9f, good) last week, despite not looking entirely straightforward. Looks vulnerable for win purposes in this company.

Form: 3073

Forecasts

Code Of Honour (6/4), Hamrin (9/4), Netherstream (3/1), Sydney Carton (11/2), Del Pearo (80/1), Lead The Squad (125/1), Epistle (150/1)

Well-bred newcomer CODE OF HONOUR ticks plenty of boxes on paper and can make a winning start for top connections. The twice-raced Netherstream has shown plenty of promise and appeals as next best, with another debutant in Hamrin also worth a look in the betting.
