Comment: 130,000gns yearling; from the first crop of Space Blues; half-brother to Australian 1m/1m2f winner Sea Strike, out of 7f 2yo/1m winner (RPR 95); stable won this race with a newcomer in 2021; interesting.

Comment: Never-dangerous eighth of 13 at Ascot (5f) but was beaten only 4l and showed signs of ability while leaving the impression this longer trip is needed (pedigree backs up that view); seems likely to improve.

Comment: 90,000gns yearling; Kodiac half-brother to his stable's dual 1m handicap winner Lady Wormsley (RPR 78); that pedigree suggests he's one for later on; yard's first 2yo runner of the season.

Sovereign Spell

Jockey: David Egan Trainer: Raphael Freire Age/Wt: 2/9-7 F: 2

Comment: 52,000gns yearling, 120,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; brings the best form, having belied market weakness with a promising effort (neck second) in 5f event at Newmarket on 1,000 Guineas day; respected.

Comment: Left it late to win a 1m4f handicap at Doncaster last September (good to soft; fine on quicker) and confirmed herself progressive with a third at Listed level next time (1m5f AW); an untouched mark might still be on the high side, but there could easily be more to come at four.

Comment: Very smart performer who has seen a lot of the world; Group 3 scorer in Britain and Group/Grade 2 winner in UAE/USA; beaten favourite in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket most recently but wasn't disgraced on form; major contender back down in class, even with 7lb penalty.

Comment: Justified favouritism in Windsor maiden (1m) on reappearance and the runner-up boosted that form by going one better at Nottingham on Tuesday; respected handicap debutant.

9/2

Comment: C&D record of 1251, the wins coming on slower than good; absent since a lacklustre effort at York last October; could well progress again this year but she has an absence to contend with and won't be able to get away with sloppy starts off her current mark.

9/2

Comment: Always had stacks of ability and he did well for Tom Clover last summer, winning 5f handicaps at Windsor and Newmarket; looked rusty on his return to action at Nottingham two weeks ago, typically taking a strong hold, and he could take a step forward with that behind him; the likely strong pace will suit and Rossa Ryan is a positive booking; high on the list.

6/1

Comment: Doesn't know how to run a bad race but that does his handicap mark no favours; near miss at Musselburgh three weeks ago and this strong traveller should be well suited by an end-to-end gallop over a sharp 5f; each-way claims once again.

Comment: Two course wins over 6f and it was over 7f that she finished a good third at Lingfield on Good Friday; does have winning 5f form, however, and surplus stamina no bad thing given how hard they could go here.

11/1

Comment: Dropped away at Epsom last month but he'd been in fine form on AW going into that contest; C&D winner on only other Goodwood visit (small field); Wolverhampton second in March off this mark shows he's still feasibly weighted; not ruled out.

12/1

Comment: Won twice on AW around the turn of the year and he has run well in three of his last four starts, including on turf at Epsom last month (5f, good); sharp test at 5f suits him well but others perhaps better handicapped.

18/1

Comment: Back to the same mark as when winning at Newbury last August (5f, good to firm); Monday's Windsor fourth was a step up on his Epsom reappearance; likely to be winning soon but perhaps not in a race with quite so many pace influences in it.

22/1

Comment: Has won on fast turf but her record is far superior on AW (7-18); still improving judged on her excellent second of ten at Lingfield on Good Friday; returns to grass off a 5lb lower mark and she can't be ignored.

Comment: Hugely progressive on AW and latest Epsom run, where he looked ill at ease on both the track and the ground, is easy to strike a line through; this should be more suitable and he's still on a workable mark.
