Chess Dad
Well-related colt by Study Of Man; second favourite for five-runner novice at Newcastle (1m, AW) 12 weeks ago and stuck to his task willingly to turn over the 4-7 favourite (another newcomer); that debut probably leaves him with plenty to find on form but it was promising and he looks sure to stay.

Push The Limit
By Le Havre out of a 1m3f winner; 11-1, always front rank to win a nine-runner novice at Kempton (1m, AW) in October, well in charge from over 1f out; has Dante and Derby entries; looks a useful prospect at the least.

Bahadur
9,000gns foal, 60,000gns yearling; tenth foal; Make Believe half-brother to six winners including Enzel (French 1m2f 2yo; RPR 95), Eneryda (French 9.7f-1m4f; 93), Lionella (1m5f/1m6f; 75) and Reel Power (1m; 59); dam Listed-placed 1m4f winner (104); needs to be good to win this on debut.

Lemurian
Brother to three winners with peak RPR of at least 111, notably Journey (1m2f-1m4f including Group 1; RPR 120); co-second favourite for novice at Newcastle (7f, AW) in November, which was in no way matched by his performance (free-going 8th of 12) but he's a late foal and it won't be a great surprise if he's capable of a lot better; stable also runs Valedictory.

Plymouth Brethren
By Teofilo out of a close relation to Derby/St Leger runner-up Mojo Star; weak 14-1 and slowly away for novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) over three weeks ago, racing freely early on but keeping on well for fourth of nine despite clear inexperience; looks the type to make major progress.

190,000euros yearling by Frankel; ninth foal; half-brother to seven winners, notably A Raving Beauty (1m-1m1f including US turf Grade 1; RPR 113); dam maiden half-sister to 1m Group 2 winner Alianthus; this should be a warm race for debut but he needs a market check.

210,000gns yearling by Lope De Vega; favourite for novice at Kempton (1m, AW) in December and made late headway into third of 13; tongue tied today; Dante and Derby entry who looks sure to improve.

Stardrop
160,000gns half-brother to high-class Inspiral; 12-1 and hooded when last of four in novice at Newcastle (6f, AW) six weeks ago, unable to get to grips with the principals; faces an extra half mile today but his connections seem to have stronger hopes with Plymouth Brethren.

Valedictory
140,000gns yearling by Cracksman; 20-1 for maiden at Doncaster (1m, good) in September, slowly away and held up last of 11 but running on well from over 1f out to go down by a nose and a neck; has Dante and Derby entries; while the debut form can be questioned, he shaped as if full of promise.
