Caught the eye on his qualifying run over hurdles back in January but failed to repeat that 12 weeks later at Market Rasen (21f, good). Big outsider on Flat debut.

No better than mid-field in 2 Curragh maidens towards the back end of last year. Subsequently sold for 62,000 gns and worth a market check for new connections on reappearance.

Promising debut fifth of 8 in maiden at York (2m, good) last October. Pulled up lame at Newcastle the following month. Shaped as if better for run on first start for new connections when fifth of 9 in novice at Ripon (1½m, good to firm) recently and this should be more revealing.

Sea The Stars gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to high-class 1¼m-1¾m winner Sixties Icon out of Oaks winner Love Divine. Of obvious interest on debut.

Frankel filly who caught the eye when fourth of 7 in maiden at Windsor (11.5f, good) on debut last month, doing some good late work from last under hands-and-heels riding in a steadily-run race. Should make above-average improvement with that under her belt.

Persian King filly who looked clueless when eighth of 9 in maiden at Redcar (1m, good) on debut last month. Likely to need more time.

Matched the pick of her previous efforts upped in trip on first outing since leaving James Owen after 4 months off when second of 7 in maiden at Leicester (1¼m, good to firm) recently, running on having been forced to switch over 1f out. Every chance of going one better.

Forecasts

Crown Of Crowns (6/4), Master Of The Sky (9/4), Emtinan (3/1), Summer In Paris (6/1), Velardo (25/1), Dontelimurnamepike (50/1), Stateira Belle (300/1)

Verdict

A few in with chances but SUMMER IN PARIS matched the pick of her efforts for James Owen when finishing runner-up at Leicester recently and with this slightly longer trip holding no fears, she gets the nod to get off the mark. Crown of Crowns should take a marked step forward from her recent Windsor debut, so she heads up the dangers, with Master of The Sky a newcomer to note representing powerful connections.

  1. Summer In Paris6/1
  2. Crown Of Crowns6/4
  3. Master Of The Sky9/4
