(10)

Benevento⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Raphael Freire| OR: 108| D

20/1

Won a 7f Doncaster listed event at 2. Matched that form when fourth in the Craven at Newmarket on reappearance before predictably finding the 2000 Guineas too competitive back there 17 days later.

Form: 1214-40

(9)

Brian⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J S Moore| OR: 101

22/1

Useful for Sylvester Kirk at 2, including third in Chesham over C&D. Made a positive start for new yard when 2 lengths fourth to Big Mojo in 6f course Group 3 in April. The return to 7f a help if anything.

Form: 14135-4

(2)

Caburn³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 97

66/1

Won the Super Sprint at Newbury last summer. Showed he's trained on when sixth of 10 in 6f listed race there on reappearance but needs improvement to get competitive at this sort of level. Tackles 7f for the first time.

Form: 1150-6

(6)

Comanche Brave²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 111

11/4

Only a Cork maiden win so far but found significant improvement in a couple of outings this term, latest when 5½ lengths fifth of 9 in Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh (1m, good) 28 days ago. Should be at least as effective back at 7f. Respected under Moore.

Form: 4124-25

(7)

Dhitjari³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Starke| T: P Schiergen| OR: 100| D

80/1

Useful form in Germany but beaten 7 lengths when third in German Guineas at Cologne (1m, good) 5 weeks ago and plenty more will be needed here.

Form: 2122-13

(14)

Marvelman⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 106| D

7/2

Useful performance when a decisive all-the-way winner of a 7f Kempton novice on reappearance in March and improved again when 1½ lengths second of 10 to the smart Cosmic Year in listed race at Newmarket (7f, good) 50 days ago. Respected.

Form: 522-12

(4)

Noble Champion^t³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 95| D

25/1

Useful. Didn't seem suited by the drop to 6f at Newbury last time but likely to come up short even though the return to 7f should be more to his liking.

Form: 51-737

(12)

One Smack Mac³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: C T Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 103| BF

33/1

Useful col who was placed at listed level for a third time when ½-length second of 9 to Copacabana Sands at Naas (7f, good) 34 days ago. This demands more.

Form: 125-432

(1)

Pellitory²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: James Owen| OR: 104| D

66/1

Won twice as a juvenile and improved again to land a 7f conditions race on return at Newmarket in April. Creditable 4¾ lengths fourth of 7 to Opera Ballo in listed race at Sandown (1m, good to soft) 23 days ago, shaping as if this return to 7f should suit.

Form: 231-194

(5)

Remmooz¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 98| D

7/2

Blue Point colt who has looked a smart performer when winning a pair of 7f novices at Doncaster (good/good to firm) this year, latterly quickening 3 lengths clear in the style of one who can make his presence felt in a higher grade.

Form: 11

(13)

Saracen⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 104

10/1

€500,000 Siyouni colt who looked a smart prospect when making a winning debut at the Curragh (6f, soft) last autumn. Good 3½ lengths third of 10 to Jonquil in Greenham at Newbury (7f, good) on reappearance in April. Looks sure to progress further.

Form: 1-3

(15)

Seagulls Eleven⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Davies| T: H Palmer| OR: 110| D

22/1

Useful form when placed twice at Group level at 2. Well held in the 2000 Guineas on reappearance but claims if back to anywhere near the pick of his 2-y-o form.

Form: 12340-0

(3)

Spy Chief⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 94

20/1

Has quickly reached a useful level, making all with ease in 6f Yarmouth novice last week. Take a jump in class on this return to 7f but he looks capable of better for a stable enjoying a good week.

Form: 621

(8)

Yah Mo Be There⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Spencer| T: R Spencer| OR: 99

33/1

Won a 6f Newbury listed at 2. Respectable fifth in the Greenham on 7f reappearance and ran as well could be expected without threatening in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket since.

Form: 201-58

(11)

California Dreamer²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Egan| T: A Murray| OR: 110

13/2

Seemingly much improved when 2¼ lengths second of 12 to Lake Victoria in Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh (1m, good) 27 days ago, although she very much had the run of the race from the front. Needs to show that doesn't flatter her.

Form: 47-1042

Forecasts

Comanche Brave (11/4), Remmooz (7/2), Marvelman (7/2), California Dreamer (13/2), Saracen (10/1), Spy Chief (20/1), Benevento (20/1), Seagulls Eleven (22/1), Brian (22/1), Noble Champion (25/1), Yah Mo Be There (33/1), One Smack Mac (33/1), Pellitory (66/1), Caburn (66/1), Dhitjari (80/1)

An open look to the Jersey. REMMOOZ quickened clear in the style of a really smart colt at Doncaster last time and is selected to take the significant step up in class in his stride and remain unbeaten. Irish 2000 Guineas fifth Comanche Brave should prove suited by the return to 7f and is second choice ahead of Greenham third Saracen, like the selection a lightly-raced sort who should have more to come. Marvelman completes the shortlist.
