Charlie Appleby's 2yos have made a fine start to the year and Rising Power is a newcomer of some interest but MOONFALL looked a winner-in-waiting when second over C&D at the Craven meeting. He can put his experience to good use. Alvin may prove best of the rest.[Paul Smith]

He is having his fifth start of the season already, improving at the fourth attempt when making all at Yarmouth 12 days ago (5f, good to firm); his experience, early pace and toughness will serve him well but it would be a surprise if he could concede weight to some interesting opposition.
March foal; 80,000euros yearling; second foal of a US 5f turf 2yo winner, herself a half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 1 winner Lucky Vega; stable amongst the winners and he's an interesting newcomer.
February foal; £135,000 yearling; first foal of a maiden, herself a half-sister to 1m Group 2 winner Space Traveller; stable up and running with 2yos but their winner of the corresponding race 12 months ago had the benefit of experience.
Half-brother to the stable's classy Group 3 winner Soprano; promising start to his career when chasing home a stablemate of Rising Power over C&D 17 days ago, a race where his main rival had the advantage of the rail and also looked more professional; open to improvement and bids to emulate the same owner's The Actor who won this race last year having finished second at the Craven meeting.
February foal; 600,000euros yearling; closely related to US 8.5f winner Surround, half-brother to three winners including Roulston Scar (5f-6f; RPR 111) and Special Purpose (5f 2yo; 100); dam Graded stakes-placed 8.4f 2yo winner (90); stable have run three 2yos this season, two of them successful and the other was placed; of obvious interest.
March foal; 52,000gns yearling, 120,000gns breeze-up 2yo; first foal of a 7f 2yo/1m winner (RPR 96); stable have had a winning 2yo newcomer this season; betting useful.
