2 (7)

Almanzor colt. Brother to useful French 2-y-o 1¼m winner The Sheriff and closely related to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Wootton'sun. Given a considerate introduction when well-held third of 7 at Ripon but he's entitled to do better second time up.

Cosmo Brown (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Ghaiyyath colt steps up to a more suitable trip (sporting a first-time hood) having finished down the field in a pair of 1m maidens, though he's probably one for handicaps after this run.

Picaro

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: -

Showed more than first time up when fourth of 8 at Southwell last month but looks one for the longer term.

Rogue Defence

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: -

Knew what was required when making a winning start to his career at Lingfield (1m) and while not necessarily bred for 1¼m, he shapes as though it could be within range and remains open to progress.

Snapback (Fr)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

€40,000 yearling, Intello colt. Half-brother to 1½m winner Luna Rock and 9.4f winner Neuschwanstein, both in France. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 9f Aim To Please. Notable newcomer from a top yard and any market confidence is likely to be significant.

5 (10)

Fabled Spirit (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

30,000 gns yearling, Phoenix of Spain gelding. Closely related to useful winner up to 11.7f Don Diego de Vega and half-brother to 2-y-o 9.5f winner Nuwaies and 1m winner Al Mudhaffar. Stable more than capable of readying one first time up and the market will prove informative.

6 (4)

Howluckyarewe

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

6,000 gns foal, Without Parole colt. Dam 6f-7f winner. In good hands but doesn't look an obvious type on paper.

12 (9)

Tinkety Tonk

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: -

Time Test colt. Half-brother to 1¼m-11f winner Clever Relation and 1¼m-13f winner Surrey Fire. Dam, 1¼m-2¼m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Gulliver. Makes some appeal on pedigree but may be one for the longer term.

Timeform Verdict

William Haggas has a fine recent record with 3-y-os on their second start and his ADALO looks the one to be with. Debut Lingfield winner Rogue Defence merits respect under a penalty, while there should be better to come from Sun Lord.
