4/1, landed 11-runner minor event at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) on debut 9 days ago with bit in hand. Son of Wootton Bassett is sure to improve but he needs to in this stronger company.

10/11
Brother to very smart Broome who made most impressive winning bow in 11-runner maiden (7/4) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 17 days ago, forging clear last 1f. Holds good claims with lots more to come.

7/1, shaped well when 1½ lengths second to New Science in minor event at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on debut 22 days ago, keeping on having run green. Sea The Stars colt is sure to do lot better.

4/1, built on debut promise to bag 7f maiden at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, strong at finish. Son of Bated Breath is the sort to keep on improving but this is a tough ask.

13/2, encouraging second of 12 in maiden at Leicester (6f, good to firm) on debut 18 days ago. Sure to progress but this son of Siyouni has lots to find on form.

50/1
50/1, promising second of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW) on debut 25 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap on 1st time. Should have more to offer but this represents a big step up in class.

Made a winning bow at Beverley in April before improved second of 7 in minor event at Salisbury (5f, good) 48 days ago. Significantly up in trip now with fair bit to find on form.

Much improved upped to 7f when landing 5-runner minor event at Haydock in the mud 29 days ago. Has more to offer but looks to face an uphill task here.

Forecasts

Point Lonsdale (10/11), Masekela (6/1), New Science (13/2), Great Max (15/2), Reach For The Moon (11/1), Sweeping (16/1), Out In Yorkshire (40/1), Withering (50/1), Radio Caroline (50/1), Sharp Combo (80/1)

Verdict

A fascinating Chesham Stakes in which Charlie Appleby's Lope de Vega colt NEW SCIENCE is taken to build on his most promising Yarmouth debut success and announce himself as one of the leading juveniles. Aidan O'Brien's Point Lonsdale ran out an impressive winner too on his first start and this brother to the stable's high-class Broome is feared most ahead of the Gosdens' Reach For The Moon.

  1. NEW SCIENCE
  2. POINT LONSDALE (IRE)
  3. REACH FOR THE MOON
