Settings
Selected odds by:
Related to plenty of winners and showed a bit first time up at Windsor (6f), albeit perhaps picking up the pieces a little. This is a big step up quickly and he's vulnerable.
|
15/2, shaped with plenty of encouragement when chasing home very impressive €2,000,000 Godolphin newcomer at Haydock (7f) a fortnight ago and should have more to offer.
|
Half-brother to Perfect Power who won the Norfolk and Commonwealth Cup at this meeting and he's going the right way himself, building on an encouraging debut when landing 6f Leicester maiden. Extra furlong sure to suit and he's respected.
|
In demand at the Breeze-Ups and shaped with promise on debut at Newbury (6.5f, firm), in need of the experience but sticking on late. That form doesn't look anything special and he'll need to improve plenty to make his mark here.
|
Plenty of stamina in his pedigree and made a winning start in likeable fashion in 7f Yarmouth novice 23 days ago, knowing his job and digging deep to fend off Sayedaty Sadaty. Can improve.
|
A fairly expensive buy at the Breeze-Ups and shaped very well on debut at Windsor (6f) under Buick, found wanting for know-how for the majority before taking off after his rider administered just one reminder. Potentially a big improver and 7f will suit.
|
Bred more for stamina than speed and offered something to work on behind a number of these on debut at Yarmouth (7f, 22/1), unsurprisingly doing his best work late on. This is a big step up and he needs to improve plenty to figure.
|
Bred to be more of a middle-distance type but produced a highly promising first effort when pushing Lightning Leo close at Yarmouth (7f). Sure to progress and win races.
|
Foaled March 23. 18,000 gns yearling, 65,000 gns 2-y-o, Highland Reel colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Mutaraafeq. Dam, 1¼m winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to winner up to 1¼m On Call Now. Stiff introduction for a newcomer but he's certainly in the right hands.
|
From a good family and was well backed when showing plenty on debut at Beverley (extended 7f) recently, looking badly in need of the experience but catching the eye with her finishing effort from the worst of the draw. More to come.
|
Fantastic pedigree, by Galileo out of a dual Nunthorpe winner, and shaped well on debut at Leopardstown (7f), running on late. Should have more to offer but Pearls And Rubies surely of more interest here for the stable.
|
Ordinary pedigree compared to others here but she's looked a fine prospect, chasing home Jabaara in a traditionally-warm Newmarket contest on debut before easily landing 6f Goodwood fillies' maiden a week later, beating 3 next-time-out winners. More to come over 7f.
|
Has shown a fair bit in 5f/6f events, shaping as if 7f will suit, but will do well to break her duck in this.
|
Plenty of stamina in her good pedigree and got going late to make winning start in 6f big-field Curragh maiden a month ago. That form is ordinary but she's open to improvement.
|
3/1, impressive when winning 5f Navan maiden on debut a fortnight ago, green but soon getting the hang of things and staying on strongly. 7f bound to suit this No Nay Never filly from a good family and she's a fine prospect.
|
Bred to be useful and having won a barrier trial she made a successful start in 7f Limerick maiden last week despite hanging badly left late on. She was always on top though and can improve.

Forecasts
Pearls And Rubies (7/4), Content (5/1), La Guarida (15/2), Lightning Leo (17/2), Snellen (12/1), Golden Mind (12/1), Matnookh (14/1), Quatre Bras (14/1), Sayedaty Sadaty (16/1), Nemonte (20/1), Carolina Reaper (25/1), Count Palatine (28/1), Warnie (40/1), Hot Fuss (50/1), Dallas Star (80/1), Maymay (80/1), Oddyssey (125/1)
Aidan O'Brien has won 4 of the last 7 runnings and in PEARLS AND RUBIES has a very exciting filly who can land the spoils. She oozed class when overcoming inexperience to make a winning start at Navan and is sure to improve for this stiffer test. La Guarida looked very good herself when scoring at Goodwood and can progress upped in trip. Golden Mind, a half-brother to Perfect Power who won at this meeting in 2021 and 2022, is also of firm interest after his Leicester victory.
