Chasing Time (G)
[P1]
Made a winning start at Wolverhampton in April and backed it up with a good third of 8 in novice at Southwell (1½m) 21 days ago, despite being soon off the bridle. More is needed here though from this son of Sea The Stars with cheekpieces …

500,000 gns Frankel colt. Overcame considerable greenness to make a winning debut at Southwell (11f) in February and shaped well when fourth of 10 in novice at Newbury (1¼m) 29 days ago having conceded first run. A player with this step up…

Superior Choice (C)
1,100,000 guineas Dubawi colt. Built on debut promise when landing 6-runner maiden at Leicester (1¼m) 21 days ago, well on top at the finish. Capable of further progress stepping up in trip and merits serious consideration. NON RUNNER.

Turty Tree (C)
Progressive New Bay colt who has been placed on all his 3 runs, third of 8 in maiden at Newbury (11f) 28 days ago. This is no easy ask however.

Koala Rose (F)
Highly promising debut third of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton in December, keeping on from the rear having run green. This Australia filly looks open to significant improvement.
