Chief Red Wing

Jockey: Joe Leavy Trainer: Brian Meehan Age/Wt: 2/9-7 F: 0

Comment: Prominent in the market ahead of his Newbury debut (5f, good) a fortnight ago but having been held up early, he was under pressure before halfway and looked green, allowed to coast home in the final furlong; should be capable of better but still not easily recommended.

Coppull

Jockey: David Probert Trainer: Clive Cox Age/Wt: 2/9-7

Comment: March foal; second foal; half-brother to 7f AW 2yo winner Worthington Lake (RPR 77); dam 5f/6f winner (78); stable's first 2yo runner of the year won at Newbury and the second was sent off favourite at Newmarket (disappointed); interesting to see if there's money about for him.

Farough

Jockey: Ray Dawson Trainer: Roger Varian Age/Wt: 2/9-7

1 tip

Comment: February foal; £42,000 yearling; third foal; half-brother to 6f AW 2yo winner Maui Breeze (RPR 76); dam runner-up 5f/6f (87); first 2yo runner of the year for Roger Varian (19% with 2yos in the last five seasons); betting usually a good guide as to expectation levels for newcomers from the yard.

Italica

Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: Tom Dascombe Age/Wt: 2/9-7

Comment: March foal; £45,000 yearling; fourth foal; half-brother to 5f winner Inspired Knowhow (RPR 72); dam US 1m turf winner (including 2yo stakes); some appeal on paper but others bring more pressing claims.

Logi Bear

Jockey: S M Levey Trainer: Richard Hannon Age/Wt: 2/9-5

Comment: May foal; fourth foal; half-brother to winners War Bride (6f; RPR 88) and Heathcliff's Girl (Greek 5f-6.5f); dam 5f/6f 2yo winner (94); powerful stable have already sent out two winning newcomers this season and he's an appealing type on paper, for all he's not yet reached his second birthday.

Mighty Vega

Jockey: Connor Beasley Trainer: Lemos De Souza Age/Wt: 2/9-5 F: 5

Comment: March foal; 12-1 for the Brocklesby on debut and ran well to finish fifth, outpaced 1f out but keeping on nicely in the closing stages; open to improvement with that behind him and his experience will be an asset; drawn against the stands' rail but the runners raced up the middle of the track at the last meeting here.

Comment: February foal; third foal; dam 7f AW winner (RPR 85), half-sister to winners Loving Dream (French 1m6f Group 1) and Legend Of Time (US 1m1f Grade 2) amongst others; first 2yo runner of the season for a stable that have enjoyed successs in this sphere.

Call Me By My Name

Jockey: A J Farragher Trainer: James Horton Age/Wt: 2/9-3

Comment: March foal; 3,000gns yearling; first foal of a 6f winner (including 2yo; RPR 70); first 2yo runner of the year for the stable; betting can guide.

Coyy

Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Eve Johnson Houghton Age/Wt: 2/9-3 F: 4

5 tips

Comment: Promising fourth at Newbury on his debut 15 days ago, keeping on steadily before meeting a bit of traffic close home; stable won the race 12 months ago (with a newcomer) and he's more appealing than many.

Lamnol

Jockey: Saffie Osborne Trainer: James Ferguson Age/Wt: 2/9-3

1 tip

Comment: February foal; £17,000 yearling; first foal of a maiden from a good family; not obviously precocious on pedigree but he was an early foal and the stable's horses are in good form; worth a market check.

Rising Empire

Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Andrew Balding Age/Wt: 2/9-3

1 tip

Comment: February foal; 8,000gns foal, 17,000gns yearling; first foal of a 5f 2yo winner (RPR 82); stable going great guns and another for whom market support would look significant; first runner for sire Bangkok.

Stardinia

Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: Raphael Freire Age/Wt: 2/9-2

3 tips

Comment: April foal; second foal of a 5f 2yo Listed winner (RPR 92); first-season sire has already had a couple of winning newcomers in Ireland; stable up and running with their 2yos and she's an interesting contender.

Cotai Belle

Jockey: Ryan Sexton Trainer: Richard Fahey Age/Wt: 2/9-0

Comment: March foal; £25,000 yearling; fourth foal; half-sister to winners Christian David (7f AW 2yo/1m turf; RPR 93) and Liberty Of Devil (Hungarian 1m3f); dam 1m1f winner (65); others look more speedily bred.

Mehmas Air Force

Jockey: Rob Hornby Trainer: Richard Hughes Age/Wt: 2/9-0

1 tip

Comment: April foal; 32,000gns yearling; second foal of a 1m4f winner (RPR 80); stable's first two 2yo runners of the year were well beaten.

Hanney Girl

Jockey: J P Sullivan Trainer: Tim Easterby Age/Wt: 2/8-12

Comment: March foal; 9,000gns foal; second foal; closely related to French 4.5f/6f 2yo winner Awj (RPR 85); dam 6f AW 2yo winner (66); stable's newcomers usually better for a run.

1 tip

Comment: Two-time Stewards' Cup winner; no win since 2023 where he won a Group 3 and twice in Listed company; did run some fair races in defeat last year though and he's not handicapped out of things on even his 2024 best; he has needed the run on his reappearance in recent times though.

Strike Red

Jockey: Billy Garritty Trainer: Richard Fahey Age/Wt: 7/9-7 F: 9019-6 OR: 98

1 tip

Comment: Usually manages to bag at least one nice prize a year and in 2024 it was a valuable York sprint in October (6f, soft; strong form); low-key return to action at Southwell three weeks ago and may need a bit more weight off his back.

Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Kevin Ryan Age/Wt: 4/9-4 F: 11105- OR: 95

Comment: Four wins as a 3yo, including C&D and a big sprint handicap at Newmarket's July meeting; creditable effort behind Strike Red at York when last seen in October; gelded since; may well improve again this year but ground softer than good does seem to be the key to him.

Jockey: Ryan Sexton Trainer: Julie Camacho Age/Wt: 4/9-4 F: 12308- OR: 95

Comment: Only raced six times for William Haggas, mainly at 7f (won an AW novice) but showing speed in the York handicap won by Strike Red on his first 6f run; sold for 140,000gns soon after; interesting recruit for his new yard but something to prove on good/faster.

Jockey: Rob Hornby Trainer: Tim Easterby Age/Wt: 7/9-2 F: 0-7440 OR: 93

Comment: Disappointed at Newcastle on Good Friday but that was a race in which little got into it from off the pace and he shouldn't be judged too harshly on it; infrequent turf winner but he's on a lowly mark in this sphere and 6f on good ground no problem; visor goes on for the first time since joining Tim Easterby; not ruled out.

Comment: Ran well on good to firm at Newmarket last May; gained his first handicap win when surging to the front in the final furlong in a 5f handicap at Southwell three weeks ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition asks a stiffer question but it is highly likely he has more to offer.

Comment: All 12 runs over further, winning over 1m as a 3yo and two 7f handicaps for this yard last season; ended 2024 with some promising runs but he does have to prove himself over 6f and he might need slower ground at this distance.

2 tips

Comment: Made fine progress last year while leaving the impression there was still a fair bit more in the tank; endured a miserable run through on his Doncaster return but had no problem justifying favouritism in a 5f Beverley handicap ten days ago; 4lb rise less of a concern than quicker ground and deeper opposition; likely he's up to this level but would be more appealing on slower than good.

Havana Pusey

Jockey: Jack Doughty Trainer: John Gallagher Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 020-24 OR: 85

Comment: Conditions should suit and she has run with great credit in two runs this season, narrowly failing in a big field at Doncaster on her return and then doing best of those held up at Newbury two weeks ago; apprentice takes off a handy 3lb and she's a strong candidate.

Sail On Jimmy Boy

Jockey: Connor Beasley Trainer: James Horton Age/Wt: 3/8-13

Comment: First foal; dam tailed off in a bumper and half-sister to winners Grand Canyon (1m1f/1m2f Flat and 2m hurdle) and Alquimia (7f/1m); wouldn't be the obvious answer to a race of this nature; stablemate Serenity Blue is far more appealing on paper.

Serenity Blue

Jockey: A J Farragher Trainer: James Horton Age/Wt: 3/8-13

Comment: 360,000gns yearling who never raced for Sir Michael Stoute; nicely bred, being a brother to four winners including smart 7f-1m4f performer King Of Conquest; dam a 1m2f Listed winner; makes sense to check the market.

Skimmer

Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Harry Charlton Age/Wt: 3/8-13

Tarriance

Jockey: David Probert Trainer: Andrew Balding Age/Wt: 3/8-13

Comment: Seventh foal; half-brother to 1m/8.5f winner Western Reserve (RPR 113); dam 6f 2yo/7f Group 3 winner (114), half-sister to 1m2f Group 1 winner Promising Lead; the market should be informative with owners Juddmonte doubly represented.

Urban Warrior

Jockey: Saffie Osborne Trainer: Charlie Appleby Age/Wt: 3/8-13

Comment: Eighth foal; closely related to winners Sayyida (Group-placed 1m4f; RPR 104) and Commanding Prince (7f/1m; 90) and half-brother to Derby winner Masar; top pedigree but already gelded and William Buick rides his stablemate.

Comment: 0-6; just a modest handicap debut at Sandown in September but she had shown promise in maiden company previously and was a persistent third at Wolverhampton (extended 1m1f) in October; this stiffer test can suit and Oisin Murphy (2-9 for trainer) is booked; hood refitted.

Comment: Drawn wide when never in the hunt over 5f at Beverley on his return to action ten days ago; 2lb lower and back at his preferred trip this time; drying ground not sure to be in his favour though.

Momaer

Jockey: Morgan Cole Trainer: Jack Morland Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 7-64 OR: 70

Comment: Retains ability after a spell on the sidelines and she's now 7lb lower than when beating a big field at Newmarket in November 2023; the ground was heavy there but it was good to firm when she won over C&D in July 2023; absent for 12 weeks but still quite interesting.

Comment: Likely he'll be sharper with his recent return to action at Thirsk behind him; only 1lb higher than for a Nottingham win (6f, soft) last October and no problem with faster ground; ran well in a maiden on only previous visit to Leicester.

Verdict: Raft Up is solid but GRAND CITADEL's second at Navan last summer suggests she could be well ahead of this mark on stable debut.

The Cola Kid

Jockey: Dylan Hogan Trainer: Grace Harris Age/Wt: 8/8-9 F: 3-79408 OR: 46

Raft Up

Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: Harriet Bethell Age/Wt: 4/9-6 F: 551162 OR: 57

7 tips

Comment: Having dropped a long way in the weights he was revived by the application of a hood in February, winning a 6f 0-50 classified event at Newcastle in good style; followed up in a handicap back there one week later and he was a close second over C&D on this month's return turf; 1lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

Comment: 0-10 in Ireland but she did best of those drawn low when second of 18 at Navan last July (6f, good to firm; strong form for the grade); creditable 1m run at Killarney two days later; absent for 285 days but she makes her stable/British debut in a less competitive race than she's used to; yard does well here and she's of some interest.

Comment: Gained his last win at this track (7f, good to soft) back in October 2023; operating off a reduced mark now and did best of the prominent racers when third of 17 at Thirsk two weeks ago (6f, good); would seem more likely to give his running than many.
