€1,000,000 breeze-up purchase. Faced a demanding task on debut but acquitted himself well when 2¾ lengths ninth of 22 in Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. Has since switched yards and big shout dropped in class.

Foaled May 4. 600,000 gns breeze-up purchase by Persian King. Half-brother to useful French 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Ritournelle. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. The stable has sent out a couple of promising first-time-out winners recently and a market move for this one would look significant.

Fairly useful form when reaching the frame over 6f at Newcastle (AW) and Haydock (firm) in his 2 starts. More will be needed now tackling 7f for the first time.

Foaled May 24. 24,000 gns foal, Golden Horn colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 7f-1¼m winner Don't Give Up and winner up to 11f Welford. Dam 11f winner. Bred to have a future but best watched this time unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Foaled January 26. 90,000 gns Kameko colt. Dam, 1m winner, closely related to smart winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Hot Snap and half-sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Midday. A watching brief is the percentage call on debut.

Foaled March 19. Frosted colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart 5f-7f winner Good Effort and 1m-1¼m winner Magical Mile. Will need to be good to take this on debut.

11/1, showed ability when third of 7 on 6f Ayr debut 13 days ago but not enough to suggest he's likely to play a prominent role in a warm maiden like this one.

Promising type. Second of 9 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 12/1) on debut 9 days ago, clear of rest. Open to improvement for a stable which has tasted success in this race.

€550,000 breeze-up buy who made a promising start to his career when second over 6f at Newmarket (good) 3 weeks ago. Will improve.

Horse silk
50/1
Foaled March 23. €100,000 Dark Angel colt. Dam unraced half-sister to Desmond Stakes winner Alexios Komnenos from an excellent family. Worth a precautionary betting check but a very useful performance will be required to take this on debut, particularly from stall 19.

11/2 needed the experience when fifth of 6 in novice at Haydock (7f, good) on debut 34 days ago. Capable of better but a big chunk of improvement will be needed to go close.

4/1
Promising individual. 8/1, second of 11 in maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good) on debut 50 days ago, finishing strongly. That form boosted. Should improve now stepping up to 7f. High on the shortlist.
|
Timeform
Has shown promise when reaching frame twice in 6f maidens in recent months, shaping as if ready for 6f when fourth at Goodwood latterly. Likely has bigger performances in him.

Forecasts

Angelo Buonarroti (2/1), Ultrasoul (4/1), Realign (5/1), Whirl (13/2), Spirit Of Summer (17/2), Bambalam (11/1), Arabian Angel (14/1), High Season (16/1), Shah (18/1), White Chapel Road (22/1), Thanks Angel (25/1), Bowen Island (33/1), Draupnir (40/1), Red Admiral (50/1), Fajhan (50/1), Frostmagic (66/1), Goal Line (100/1), Sherlock (100/1), Hurricane Bea (100/1), Lever Up (125/1)

Verdict

ANGELO BUONARROTI shaped with plenty of promise when very much pitched in at the deep end on debut at Royal Ascot and can come good here having switched to the bang-in-form Ralph Beckett stable since. Ultrasoul, whose Yarmouth form has been boosted, Whirl and Realign are other once-raced types who could have plenty more to offer, while Bambalam is a newcomer to monitor closely in the betting for a stable which has knocked in a few first-time-out winners recently.
