Horse silk
7/2
Foaled February 14. €120,000 2-y-o, Too Darn Hot colt. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 6f Sergei Prokofiev. Appeals on paper for excellent stable and he's one to consider on debut.

Foaled April 9. Ardad colt. Dam, 11.5f/1½m winner, also won over hurdles. Very much a mix on breeding and he's likely best watched on debut.
|
Timeform
Foaled March 17. Lope De Vega colt. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 10.5f) Maximal, out of winning half-sister to Frankel. Yard 2-10 with their juveniles on turf so far this season. Well worthy of respect.

€55,000 2-y-o, Starspangledbanner colt. 22/1, made a bright start under considerate ride (ran green before running on) when fourth of 15 in maiden at Newmarket (6f) on debut 21 days ago. Looks a sure-fire improver with that under his belt and 7f promises to be well within range.

Timeform
Foaled April 10. 38,000 gns yearling, Profitable colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 7f winner Uluru and 1m-1¼m winner Grey Fox. Dam 1½m winner who stayed 1¾m.

11/1
Foaled March 18. Lope De Vega colt. Offered something to work on amid greenness when third of 4 in novice at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 7/1) on debut 13 days ago. Should improve.

28/1
Ulysses colt. Half-brother to French 8.5f winner Dulsie Bridge and 7f winner So Logical. Held back by inexperience when ninth of 13 in novice at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 30 days ago, pushed along halfway and merely passing beaten rivals.

Foaled February 11. Aclaim colt. Dam 6f-7.6f winner. Yard also saddle Fear of The Dark but he's another who is likely best watched on debut.

3/1
Foaled April 10. Kingman colt. Closely related to useful 1m winner Chartreuse and 2-y-o 1m winner Bold Reason. Dam French 1m winner (including at 2 yrs). Noteworthy newcomer for leading stable.
|
Timeform
Foaled April 1. Wootton Bassett colt. Dam, 10.5f/11f winner, half-sister to smart German winner up to 7f Dabbitse. Worth monitoring in the betting for clues ahead of debut.

Forecasts

Jonquil (11/4), Qetaifan (11/4), Tycoon (3/1), Centigrade (7/2), Time Turner (11/1), Troy Story (28/1), Wootton Palace (40/1), Tequila Star (80/1), Turpin (200/1), Fear Of The Dark (200/1)

Verdict

The betting should prove a useful guide but TYCOON appeals as a likely type on paper representing the John & Thady Gosden stable and is narrowly selected before market clues. Qetaifan was really getting the hang of things late on when fourth on debut at Newmarket and looks a sure-fire improver upped to 7f. Centigrade and Jonquil are another pair of very well-bred newcomers who command respect, with Time Turner also likely to improve on his debut effort.
