Knights Gold¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole

50/1

Posted fair form in both starts to date, latest when third of 6 in novice at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 15/2) 17 days ago. Likely to improve but asked a much bigger question now.

Scandinavia²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: A P O'Brien

2/1

Looked badly in need of experience when third of 8 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good to soft) on debut 22 days ago, not knocked about. Should be plenty more to come and he is not taken lightly.

Form: 3

Sedate

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan| T: A Watson

50/1

Foaled February 20. €200,000 foal, 210,000 gns yearling, Blue Point gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 7f/1m winner Jalaad and 9.5f/1¼m winner Long Ridge Road. Dam 13f winner. Makes appeal on paper.

Vecu¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

2/1

Posted promising second of 13 in novice (13/2) at Sandown (7f, good to firm) on debut 16 days ago, closing all way to line. Step up in trip will suit and he should have more to offer.

Form: 2

(8)

Big Gypsy King

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: Darryll Holland

80/1

Foaled April 10. Sea The Moon filly. Half-sister to winner abroad by Oasis Dream. Dam useful French 1¼m-1½m winner. Likely a longer-term prospect.

Forecasts

Scandinavia (2/1), Vecu (2/1), Arabian Poet (9/2), King Of Cities (7/1), Anniversary (16/1), Double Meaning (16/1), Sedate (50/1), Knights Gold (50/1), Big Gypsy King (80/1)

This can go to VECU, who looked unlucky not to score on his Sandown debut last month and remains with plenty of potential. Scandinavia will have learnt plenty from his first start at Leopardstown and is much respected, whilst Arabian Poet may be the pick of some interesting newcomers.
