|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8th | 1 | 1 |
Agamemnon (C)
Sales price more than doubled at the Breeze-Ups and showed why he was punted on debut (failed to handle the track at Newmarket) when winning Wolverhampton novice in a good time under this rider. More to come so not to be underestimated.

Blake's Monarch (C)
Just touched off on debut at Wolverhampton (6f) before too keen at Chester. Drop down in trip will help but this is a massive ask.

Carry The Flag (C)

No Nay Never colt who made heavy weather of landing skinny odds at Naas on second start but looked much sharper when reeled in only late by subsequent Coventry winner Great Barrier Reef in Marble Hill at the Curragh 4 weeks ago. The one to…

El Floridita (C)
Didn't have to improve from debut to win Redcar maiden but that form is weak in the context of this. Bought for £100,000 at the Goffs London Sale on Monday.

Mussab (C)
5,000 gns yearling, 52,000 gns 2-y-o, Ten Sovereigns colt. Dam 6f winner. Offered something to work on when third in a York novice but the 2 who beat him that day have since let the form down.

New Yorker (C)

Landed the odds in workmanlike fashion in a 5f maiden at Dundalk on debut but has failed to match that form switched to turf in 2 starts since. Hooded.

Persian Spring (C)
Persian Force colt who confirmed debut promise in spades when reeling in the front runner in 15-runner novice at York. Stable has good record in this and can go well under Spencer.

Star Prospect (C)
Looked something out of the ordinary when making a winning debut at the Curragh, having to wait for a gap before quickening up well to beat Carry The Flag. Not seen to best effect in a steadily-run event at Naas since and he remains with p…
