10,000 gns Iffraaj gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 1¼m), half-sister to useful winner up to 9f Castello Aragonese. Likely outsider on debut.
Timeform
260,000 gns Wootton Bassett colt. Brother to smart 7f/1m winner English Oak and closely related to 1¼m/10.2f winner Forest of Dean and winner up to 10.2f State Occasion. Respected for a top stable which won this with a newcomer in 2021.
Timeform
Only seventh of 11 on 6f Newbury debut in July but was held back by inexperience and the fact he holds an entry in this month's Dewhurst over C&D suggests connections think a bit of him.

Elarak

Kingman colt. Dam very smart French 5f/6f winner (including at 2 yrs). The betting should help guide to expectations with this one.

Moutai
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-7| J: C T Keane| T: E Walker
€225,000 2-y-o. Hello Youmzain half-brother to several winners in France, including smart 7f-1¼m winner Simona and winner up to 1¼m Monargent. Dam 9f winner. Colin Keane booked. It'll be very interesting to see how this one goes in the betting.
Timeform
42,000 gns Bated Breath gelding. Dam, French 11.5f winner, sister to smart 1m/9f winner (stayed 1½m) Pilote out of smart winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner) Legerete. Dragonflame probably the stable first string unless the betting suggests otherwise.
Timeform
Kingman colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 6f winner Lover's Knot and half-brother to several winners, including very smart 1m/9f winner Blair House. Likely type for leading stable.

Dubawi half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1m Mysterious Night and winner up to 9f Althiqa and also smart winner up to 6f Star of Mystery. Make obvious paper appeal for top connections.

Spirit Of Summer25
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR:  79
Fairly useful form when placed on 2 of his 3 starts but suspicion he might prove vulnerable to above-average newcomers.

Timeform
11,000 gns Territories filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 5.7f winner Torvi and 1m winner Character Testing. Dam, maiden (best up to 1m). One of 2 newcomers from the stable. Surprise were she to get heavily involved.
Timeform
Hasn't shown enough on her 2 starts to think she'll figure here.

Forecasts

Secret Theory (7/2), Palmarian (5/1), Elarak (11/2), Spirit Of Summer (11/2), Crown Of Oaks (11/2), Moutai (6/1), Dragonflame (13/2), Oceans Five (20/1), Vizzavona Lady (33/1), All Cost (50/1), No Gain (66/1), Ignition (66/1)

Verdict

A few interesting newcomers, none more so than Godolphin's SECRET THEORY. Palmarian, Moutai and Crown of Oaks are other debutants who make paper appeal, while Dewhurst-entry Dragonflame may prove pick of those with experience.
