Zebedee colt, cost £30,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to two winners including one over 6f. Dam a middle-distance winner and half-sister to juvenile Group 1 over this trip, Amadeus Wolf. Plenty to like about his pedigree and market check advised.

Le Havre colt, cost €310,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to two Listed level performers over similar trips and dam a winner over 7f. Beautifully bred and yard's two-year-olds in good form this year. Fascinating runner.

Kyllachy colt, cost 52,000 gns as a yearling and 75,000 gns as a Breeze-Up purchase. Dam a half-sister to a Group 3 winner over this trip. Yard do well at this course including with their juveniles and market should reveal expectations.
Dream Ahead colt, cost 62,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to Italian Group 1 winner amongst others and dam a useful sprinter. Disappointed in three-runner affair on debut but not disgraced behind some smart looking sorts at Newmarket last time.

Kodiac colt, cost 100,000 gns as a yearling. Full-brother to a 7f AW winner. May want further than this given time but respected for powerful connections.

Lethal Force colt, cost 58,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a dirt winner over this trip. Dam with more of a middle-distance pedigree. Yard won this last year and he's an interesting runner on debut.

20/1
Dutch Art colt, cost 40,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a winner and dam Listed placed over this trip and half-sister to a Group 3 winner over further. Yard flying at present and worth a market check.

Lilbourne Lad colt, cost £4,000 as a yearling. Dam a winner over 7f and a full-sister to useful middle-distance Grade 1 winner. Interesting pedigree but sales price a little off-putting as far as this race is concerned and others preferred.

Excelebration colt, cost €12,000 as a foal and £95,000 as a yearling. Full-brother to a 5f juvenile winner and dam a half-sister to a 7f Group 2 winner and two other smart performers over 7f. Yard's debutantes always worthy of plenty of respect.

Forecasts

True Belief (11/8), Kessaar (9/2), Lightning Attack (6/1), Burning Lake (13/2), I Am A Dreamer (8/1), First Thought (10/1), Sense of Belonging (20/1), Lincoln Park (33/1), Amadeus Grey (40/1), Siona's Boy (66/1)

Verdict

Charlie Appleby has been in excellent form with his two-year-olds this year and TRUE BELIEF gets the tentative vote given his pedigree. Burning Lake and First Thought are two more eye-catching debutantes while I Am A Dreamer can put his racecourse experience to good use.
