Foaled March 4. 27,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold colt. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Freshwater Cliffs. Bred for further, but still worthy of a market check.

7/1
Six-figure yearling who left the impression that he'd learn plenty from his encouraging debut at York 16 days ago. Stall 8 isn't ideal, but he's a big player nonetheless.

Foaled January 29. Pastoral Pursuits colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Big Ace and ungenuine 1m-1¼m winner Little Ted. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to useful 5f-7f winner Inhalation.

Expert Eye colt who showed a bit when sixth under a considerate ride at Leicester in April. Should improve from that now upped in trip, so not completely discounted.

11/2
Twilight Son colt who benefited from his initial experience when runner-up at this course 23 days ago. That form has been boosted three times since, so he may be able to open his account at the third attempt.

Foaled February 12. Heeraat filly. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful US winner up to 8.5f (including minor stakes at 2 yrs) Carving. Doesn't make much appeal on paper.

Foaled March 13. Invincible Spirit filly. Dam, useful French 7f winner, closely related to high-class 1m-1¼m winner Capponi, runner-up in Dubai World Cup.

5/2
Fair maiden who has proved quite consistent to date but he's quite well established already, and he looks vulnerable.

Forecasts

Zephina (5/2), Revisit (7/2), Craven (11/2), Self Praise (11/2), Drafted (7/1), Frank Ross Is Out (8/1), Urban Sprawl (14/1), Guiteau (20/1), I Still Have Faith (20/1), Pink Stripes (66/1)

Verdict

SELF PRAISE was a good second in a good maiden at this track last time and, with another step forward likely, he gets the nod ahead of Drafted, who should have learned plenty from his initial experience. Revisit is the pick of the newcomers.
