Lethal Force gelding. Half-brother to smart 6f/7f winner Apollo One and 11f winner Giorgius. Dam 1m-10.3f winner. Betting should prove a useful guide as to expectations on racecourse bow.
Territories gelding. 4/1, showed ability and likely to be better for initial experience when fifth of 7 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 14 days ago. Looks the type to do better.
Ran to barely a modest level on debut yet, at huge odds, he took a marked step forward when second of 10 in novice (66/1) at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago, well positioned and edged out close home. Obvious claims with a repeat.
€30,000 yearling, Dandy Man gelding. Easy to back, ran to a fair level when second of 7 in maiden at Lingfield (1m, AW) on debut 14 days ago, keeping on without threatening the winner. Should be thereabouts on that form.
€16,000 yearling, Kuroshio gelding. Shaped as if better for the run when sixth of 7 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW, 13/2) on debut 14 days ago, driven over 2f out and fading. Probably one for later on.
8,000 gns yearling, Barraquero gelding. Showed only greenness when last of 4 in novice (12/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 8 days ago. Can only be watched.
Twice-raced filly. 20/1, tenth of 11 in novice at Windsor (6f, good) 13 months ago. Has since left Ralph Beckett and hard to warm to on what she has achieved to date.

Forecasts
Saigon Dream (4/6), Mr Grimes (9/2), Mauchline (6/1), Space Trooper (10/1), Jacks My Boy (12/1), Summanus (33/1), Video Games (50/1)
SAIGON DREAM left his debut effort in his wake when finishing runner-up at Kempton 3 weeks ago, edged out only close home. A repeat should see Jack Channon's 3-y-o tough to contain. Mauchline and Mr Grimes are expected to provide chief resistance.
