Foaled March 15. Saxon Warrior gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 6f winner So Darn Hot and winner up to 1¼m Without Revenge. Dam 1m winner who stayed 1¼m. Mixed pedigree and might be best watched first time up.

Foaled March 10. Camelot colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Treasure Trove and 6f/6.7f winner No Alibi. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Yard's 2-y-os showing up well but just 2-26 with newcomers in 2026.

Showed plenty of ability when second of 11 over 1m on debut at Salisbury in September but went backwards for no obvious reason at Goodwood (9f) next time. Could be more one for next year.

Foaled April 30. 78,000 gns yearling, €180,000 2-y-o, Kingman colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Lajooje and 1½m winner Los Toldos. Dam, 7f/1m winner, half-sister to high-class winner up to 7f Equiano. Newcomer to keep an eye on.

Foaled April 24. €16,000 yearling, €85,000 2-y-o, Bayside Boy gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Universal Order and 1m-1¼m winner Launceston. Cost a bit and has an appealing page but yard wouldn't be known for first-time-out winners on the Flat.

Australian-bred colt who showed a bit to work on before tiring in C&D maiden a fortnight ago. Entitled to progress.

Has made a promising start in 1m all-weather maidens, still looking green and not getting the clearest of runs while once more bumping into a couple of interesting sorts here a fortnight ago. Blinkers go on and surely up to winning a race like this.

Foaled March 28. €90,000 foal, 175,000 gns yearling, St Mark's Basilica colt. Dam, 9f/1¼m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m (stays 1½m) Elizabeth Jane out of very smart 1m-1½m winner Sapphire, herself half-sister to top-class stayer Kyprios. Plenty of stamina in his pedigree.

Foaled March 14. Logician colt. Half-brother to smart 1¼m-13f winner Crystal Pegasus and useful 1¼m winner Crystal Estrella. Dam, maiden, closely related to very smart winner up to 1½m Hillstar and half-sister to top-class 1¼m-1½m winner Crystal Ocean. Rare 2-y-o runner for yard.
