Money for any of the newcomers should be noted, but a few of these have already shown a fair level of ability. Two of the last four runnings of this have gone to a previous winner, so Ardisia (second choice) and Kesta are high on the list. However, the former may struggle to confirm his Musselburgh debut running with FILLY FODEN on 7lb worse terms, the filly having again run well to finish second at Thirsk in the meantime.[David Bellingham]

Landed a four-runner Musselburgh novice (5f, good) on last month's debut and has performed well in both outings since, including when beaten less than 2l into fourth of eight in the Lily Agnes at Chester (5f, good) 17 days ago (third has won since); leading claims, especially if he learns to break better.
Stepped up from last month's promising Wolverhampton debut when winning a Brighton maiden (5f, good to firm) 11 days later (a couple of subsequent winners behind); finished a creditable fifth of 11 behind a stablemate under his penalty in a Goodwood novice (5f, good) last time (in front of two of these) and one for the shortlist.
April foal by Soldier's Call; 2,000euros yearling; 30,000gns 2yo; half-brother to 6f AW 2yo winner Fiorella Princess (RPR 75); dam 6f winner (87), half-sister to 5f Group 3 winner Thunderbear, out of half-sister to 1m4f Group 2 winner Move Up; stable wouldn't be a noted source of winning 2yo newcomers.
April foal by Zoustar; 30,000gns yearling; half-brother to winners Spoof (prolific 5f including 2yo; RPR 101), Hey Mr (5f including 2yo; 85), Filmet (Italian 6.5f-9.5f including 2yo/AW) and Filo Boy (Italian 5f-7f including 2yo); dam placed in Italy (including 6f 2yo Listed; 90); something to like on breeding and worth a market check; holds an entry in the sales race at the Doncaster St Leger meeting.
9-1 and ran green when eighth of 11 on his Goodwood debut (5f, good) this month, finishing behind two of these; should improve for the experience but will need to.
Sent off 25-1 for his debut in the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) in March, but was only beaten a nose in the 17-runner field; didn't build on it when seventh of 11 in a Goodwood novice (5f, good) this month, finishing a length behind Kesta and just ahead of Sands Of Spain; needs to bounce back.
February foal by Rumble Inthejungle; dam 5f 2yo winner (RPR 93), sister to Greek 6f-1m winner Touch Paper, closely related to 5.5f/7f winner Limelite, half-sister to 7f winner Swindon; would be a rare winning newcomer from the stable.
Beaten just over a length by Ardisia when second of four on last month's Musselburgh debut (5f, good) and is now 7lb better off; improved on that when second of ten at Thirsk (5f, good) ten days later and seems sure to go well again; tongue-tie given a go.
Not without ability in her first two starts over 5f at Kempton (AW) and Chepstow (good), but will need to improve plenty in order to mix it with some of these.
March foal by Sergei Prokofiev; first foal; dam 5f AW winner (RPR 68), half-sister to 6f winner Etoile Alexander, out of 5f 2yo Listed winner from speedy family; wouldn't be an obvious candidate on debut.
February foal by Dandy Man; 16,000gns yearling; half-sister to 5f winner Messa Concertata (RPR 77); dam 1m1f winner (79), half-sister to 7f 2yo Listed winner Tigrilla, out of 1m4f winner, is granddaughter of 7f winning half-sister to leading dirt performer Twilight Agenda; stable has its share of winning 2yo newcomers and worth a market check; holds entries in a couple of sales race during the summer.
