The standout contenders are EXPLODE and Mudbir, both of whom shaped with considerable promise on their debuts. The selection's first run was a lot more recent and the form is working out well. Perry Mason will be winning races, but perhaps over further when into handicaps.[Alistair Jones]

A belated debut for this now-gelded son of Teofilio but he's a brother to high-class 1m2f/1m3f performer West Wind Blows and the market needs checking.
Beaten under 3l by the classy Kikkuli in a Newmarket 7f maiden in April 2024 when with Jane Chapple-Hyam; went down by 12l on stable debut (having been gelded) at Doncaster (7f) but that was a fair race and he should improve; plenty of stamina in dam's side of pedigree; has a tricky draw to overcome here.
130,000gns yearling; sixth foal; half-brother to four winners including Mackaar (8.6f/1m2f; RPR 101), Lexington Belle (Listed-placed 7f-8.6f; 96) and Shinji (bumper/2m hurdle); dam unplaced 7f/10.5f in France (66); makes belated debut in a hood and likely best watched.
Encouraging eighth of 20 at Newbury last May (6f, good; 20-1) and then midfield in a tough sales race next time (extended 6f); should stay the extra distance and has races in him; now gelded and has moved to a new yard (same owners).
Second foal out of a 1m AW/1m2f turf winner (RPR 65) and half-sister to French 10.5f/1m4f winner Law Of Logic; gelded ahead of debut and wouldn't be the obvious answer.
200,000euros yearling; endured a wide trip at Kempton (1m; 18-1) so did well to finish where he did in third and the front two have both won since; every chance.
Kingman colt who is a sibling to some smart horses for these connections; got outpaced before running on well at Newmarket in October (7f, soft) and fully expected to improve on that form this season; promising.
Sixth foal; half-brother to winners Compliant (1m2f/1m3f; RPR 85), Royal Appointment (UAE 5f dirt; 80) and Sealed Offer (7f; 76); dam 7f winner (101), sister to BC Filly & Mare Turf winner Queen's Trust; has been gelded; can only be watched.
62,000gns yearling; ninth foal; brother to winners Space Traveller (5f-1m; RPR 114) and Rubia Bella (6f; 78) and half-brother to winners Pellucid (6f/6.5f; 93) and My Silent Song (1m; 84); dam 1m4f winner (76); gelded; would need to see confidence behind him.
Second foal; half-brother to 1m2f Flat (RPR 75) and 2m/2m1f hurdle winner Continuance; dam 1m/1m2f winner (92), half-sister to 1m winner Storting; has been gelded; goes in against some talented horses on his debut.
