€50,000 3-y-o, Moises Has gelding. Closely related to modest hurdler Martalite. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Officieux. Yard seemingly in good form, going close with a bumper debutant last week.

€64,000 3-y-o, Poet's Word gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser El Granjero and fair hurdler Piccolo Player. Makes some appeal on paper and booking of Sean Bowen significant for yard that can ready one.

€110,000 3-y-o, Moises Has gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/useful chaser Zurich and fairly useful hurdler Lureka du Noyer. Dam 2¼m hurdle winner. Expensive debutant for trainer/jockey combination operating at a 36% strike rate with bumper debutants since early-May.

£15,000 3-y-o, Frontiersman gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Kaydence. Dam (c119/h103), 3m chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Finney. Bred to need time/distance.

Crystal Ocean gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Basford, stays 29f, and bumper winner Popton Point. Dam (h111), bumper/2m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Will O'The West. Out of a mare who won on debut and at least worth a second look.

Recorder gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat, including useful 1m-16.2f winner Theydon Grey. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Some appeal on paper, though yard an unlikely source of a debut winner in this discipline.

Valirann gelding. Dam no sign of ability. Hardly looks an obvious type on racecourse bow.

€65,000 3-y-o, £320,000 4-y-o, Poet's Word gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner A Boy The Kid. Big-money purchase after winning sole Irish point start in March (same connections also purchased runner-up for £200,000). May well make an immediate impact under Rules for top yard.

Forecasts

Wordfromhome (5/4), Itsallfrenchtome (3/1), Le Lempriere (8/1), Noble Viking (9/1), Manu Du Noyer (9/1), Block Flight (14/1), New Perspective (18/1), Alltheliesyatoldme (33/1), Running Dream (50/1), He's Happy (66/1), Rightwillbedone (80/1)

Verdict

WORDFROMHOME topped April's Goffs Aintree Sale on the back of his success in an Irish Point and may well make a winning start under Rules. Newcomers Manu du Noyer and Block Flight also appeal on paper for top yards.
