Kodiac colt. 40/1, showed plenty to work on amidst inexperience when fourth of 11 in novice at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 32 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. In good hands and he's open to improvement.

11/1
Starspangledbanner colt. 28/1, proved badly in need of the experience when seventh of 9 in novice at Newmarket (7f, soft) on debut 30 days ago, looking ill at ease on the track. This should reveal more.

Foaled April 12. Havana Grey gelding. At long odds for debut but made an encouraging start when third of 12 in a C&D novice 31 days ago, headway from 2f out and staying on. Open to improvement and he's respected.

33/1
Twice-raced maiden. 9/1, went backwards from debut when last of 11 in novice at Redcar (7f, soft) 17 days ago. Debut effort contained promise but handicaps may be more his bag moving forward.

Foaled May 4. Massaat gelding. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Eighth of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 300/1) on debut 23 days ago, always behind. Readily passed over.

Makes plenty of appeal on paper but could only run to a modest level when twelfth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (1m) on debut 28 days ago. Changed hands for just 1,000 gns since and he's best watched here.

Foaled January 29. €44,000 foal, £85,000 yearling, Earthlight colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 9f/1¼m winner Gifts of Gold. Yard no stranger to success with their newcomers and he's one to note, particularly if strong in betting.

Forecasts

Brooklyn (10/11), Jamaican Storm (4/1), Lemurian (4/1), Happy Banner (11/1), Criminal Shore (11/1), Ventura Dream (25/1), Optimatum (33/1), Joseph (40/1), Transfuse (80/1), Dutch Duke (125/1), Lady Papaver (200/1), Roman Bar (300/1)

Verdict

LEMURIAN makes plenty of appeal on paper, hailing from a family his leading stable has enjoyed plenty of success with, so he's selected to get off to the perfect start before the benefit of market clues. Jamaica Storm sets the standard of those with previous form on the back of an encouraging C&D debut third 31 days ago and he's feared. Brooklyn and Ventura Dream are another pair of newcomers to note, whilst Criminal Shore commands respect, too.
