Price is shorter than the model makes it.
14-1 and green but made an encouraging start when fifth of 12 in 1m novice at Southwell 17 days ago, fading late having pulled hard; can take a step forward.
Starspangledbanner gelding who has looked a good prospect in landing a pair of 7f/1m novices on Newcastle AW, easily landing the odds on latter occasion 19 days ago; saddled with a double penalty but still the one to beat on his turf debut.
£1,000 yearling; Due Diligence filly; dam 7f AW 2yo winner (RPR 71); makes a belated debut and others appeal more on this occasion.
50,000gns yearling; Kameko half-brother to three winners, including Sirius Prospect (6f-1m Listed; RPR 115) and Bama Breeze (US 8.5f-10.5f; RPR 107); dam French/Canadian 7f-8.5f winner (Group 3; RPR 101); no forlorn hope on debut.
Teofilo colt; dam 7f-8.5f winner (German Listed; RPR 101); newcomer needs considering, especially if the market vibes are positive.
Little promise shown in 7f Ascot novice last July and Southwell maiden on his return nine days ago.
Gelded and much improved from his debut when a promising second of seven in 1m novice at Thirsk 22 days ago; looks to have more to offer; a player.
