Confirmed debut promise when easily winning valuable maiden at Glorious Goodwood. Will find this a lot more demanding but clearly has plenty of potential.

Made striking impression when debut scorer in maiden at Windsor and took step up in class in his stride when following up in listed event at Ripon. Exciting colt who remains with plenty of potential.

Quickly progressed into a useful colt, winning first 3 starts, notably Group 3 (6f) at Deauville. However, found Prix Morny too competitive there since and has ground to make up with Rhythm Master.

Cost plenty at the breeze ups and overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Haydock. Improved a chunk fast-tracked to a Group 2 when second in Gimcrack at York and may do better again.

Left debut well behind when easily making all in Sandown maiden (5f) last week, though had very little in the way of opposition that day and this is a massive step up.

Green when runner-up to Bahrain Pride on debut at Windsor before proving to be in a different league to rivals in novice at Newcastle 16 days ago. Exciting prospect and one to be interested in.

Improving sort who took form to another level when completing hat-trick in valuable sales event at Doncaster last week. Worth a shot at this level but needs to step up again.

Impressive debut winner at Haydock and took a big step forward pitched straight into a Group 1 when third in the Prix Morny at Deauville last month. Sets a clear standard so obvious claims.

Forecasts

Fivethousandtoone (5/2), Rhythm Master (3/1), Bahrain Pride (9/2), Devilwala (15/2), Alkumait (8/1), Line Of Departure (11/1), Cairn Gorm (18/1), First Edition (33/1)

Verdict

RHYTHM MASTER took a big step forward from his impressive debut win at Haydock when third in the Prix Morny at Deauville last month and sets a clear standard on that form. He still showed signs of greenness that day and can do better again, so is preferred to Bahrain Pride and Fivethousandtoone, who are a pair of very exciting colts that look capable of making a big impact at this level.

  1. RHYTHM MASTER (IRE)
  2. BAHRAIN PRIDE
