| 6th | 1 | 3 |
Contemplation (G)
Zarak colt looked backward when ninth of 11 in novice (33/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 57 days ago. Likely to need more time.

Inherent Resolve (C)
[H]
Justify colt showed a bit when 33/1 and hooded, finishing sixth of 10 in novice at Kempton (8f) on debut 17 days ago (1¼ lengths behind Windbreaker), not unduly punished. Entitled to do better but could be a longer-term project.

| 4th | 3 | 2 |
Roc De Fer (C)
75,000 gns Sea The Moon colt who is bred to need time and distance and will be more interesting in handicaps.

| 8th | 4 | 7 |
Rumbustious (C)
Dubawi colt makes appeal on pedigree but shaped as though in need of fitness/experience when sixth of 10 in novice (15/2) at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 28 days ago. That form is starting to work out and he's open to progress.

Saxon Street (C)
FAV
€170,000 yearling, Saxon Warrior colt. Dam unraced sister to smart winner up to 1¾m Raheen House and Sydney Cup winner Shraaoh. Plenty to like about his pedigree and one to note on debut for powerful yard.

Sea Brave (C)
€150,000 yearling, Sea The Moon colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1½m Going The Distance. Dam useful French/US 1m-9.5f winner. Newcomer has some quality in his pedigree and warrants a second look in the betting.

Windbreaker (C)
100,000 gns foal, 375,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner). Showed ability amidst greenness when 13/2, fifth of 10 in novice at Kempton (8f) on debut 17 days ago. Should improve and looks a leading c…

Ezera (F)

Has offered little in two starts. Difficult to make a case for with tongue strap on first time.

Inexpensive purchase has been well held both starts to date. Hard to fancy.
