Age Of Gold³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

10/3

€625,000 yearling, Frankel colt. Brother to smart 6f winner Fivethousandtoone. 11/10, overcame inexperience to make an impressive winning debut in 6f Yarmouth novice. Exciting prospect.

Form: 1

Brian¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: L P Keniry| T: S Kirk| BF

28/1

Fair form in 6f maidens, chasing home the Coventry fourth at Chelmsford latest. Likely to stay 7f but this is much tougher.

Form: 42

Defence Missile³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

33/1

€55,000 half-brother to several winners, including very smart 7.6f-13.4f winner Morando and smart winner up to 1m Speak of The Devil. 9/1, knew his job and showed plenty on debut in 6f Newbury maiden 5 weeks ago, seeing things out well. That form doesn't amount to much but he can improve.

Form: 2

(6)

Duke Of Monroth

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: Raphael Freire

28/1

Foaled April 22. $75,000 yearling, €260,000 2-y-o, Street Sense colt. Half-brother to useful US 2-y-o 8.5f winner Spicer. Stiff introduction but clearly well touted at the Breeze-Ups and this race saw a winning newcomer (the first at the Royal meeting since 1996) two years ago.

Lazy Griff⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: C Johnston

28/1

€75,000 Protectionist colt. 8/1, made a promising start when second in 7f Doncaster maiden on debut on Sunday, keeping on. Should know more here.

Form: 2

Metro Dubai^v⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: S & E Crisford

50/1

€11,000 Elarqam colt. 8/1, showed plenty to work on first time up when second at Leicester (7f) last week, in a visor but seemingly professional. Entitled to improve.

Form: 2

(2)

Moon Sniper⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick

125/1

37,000 gns Sea The Moon colt from the family of very smart winner up to 7f Creative Force. Much sharper second time up and ran to a fair level when runner-up at Sandown (7f, 50/1) last week, well positioned and just lacking the pace of the winner late on. Plenty more needed still.

Form: 62

(5)

Motawahij²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

18/1

Fetched a lot of money every time he was sold (285,000 gns Craven Breeze-Up purchase) and shaped with plenty of encouragement when second in 6f Hamilton novice 3 weeks ago, taking the eye with how easily he went about things and not knocked about once beaten. Up in trip and sure to improve.

Form: 2

(11)

Pentle Bay¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: G Boughey

5/1

120,000 gns foal, €55,000 2-y-o, New Bay colt. 5/1, looked a useful prospect when winning 6f Leicester maiden, the only one to make notable inroads from the rear and edging out a trio with experience late on. 7f will suit and he's sure to improve. £400,000 buy (with same yard) earlier this week.

Form: 1

Shocker²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: B M Coen| T: E J O'Neill

150/1

Outstaying his pedigree and left debut form well behind when second at Tipperary (7.1f) 3 weeks ago. This is surely too tough.

Form: 72

Bedtime Story¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| D

11/8

Frankel filly out of a dual Nunthorpe winner (including at 2 yrs). Attracted support and overcame inexperience to make a successful debut in extended 7f Leopardstown maiden earlier this month, staying on under hand riding. Looks a fine prospect sure to progress and key player.

Form: 1

(9)

Expensive Rose¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Johnston| D

16/1

Confirmed debut promise when landing 7f Carlisle fillies' novice, her rider not having to resort to the whip. Should have more to offer but this is a big step up.

Form: 21

(14)

Hot Like Me

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Spencer

25/1

Foaled April 18. 42,000 gns yearling, Ghaiyyath filly. Half-sister to winner up to 9f Lastrada and 2-y-o 6f winner Sweet Harmony. Yard can ready one but this is a stiff introduction.

Form:

(1)

Jewel Of London¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| BF

80/1

250,000 gns Lope De Vega filly. Fair form when placed in 6f maidens, keeping on at Kempton latest. 7f will suit and she can do better.

Form: 33

(17)

Miss El Fundi¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

50/1

Sea The Stars filly out of listed 5.7f-7f winner. Learnt as she went and showed a fair bit of promise by the end when fourth in 6f Kempton fillies' maiden (16/1) earlier this month. 7f will suit and she's sure to progress.

BEDTIME STORY looked a fine prospect when running out an easy winner first time up at Leopardstown and is bred to go to the top, so she can give Aidan O'Brien another victory in this listed contest. The clear danger is Godolphin's Age of Gold, who was impressive when scoring at Yarmouth and can improve plenty himself. Leicester-winner Pentle Bay was highly in demand at Monday's sale and is a big player up in trip. Motawahij is one to note at bigger odds.
