Newcomers Purple Rainbow (second choice) and Cluster One make plenty of appeal on paper but ENACTING is taken to continue his progress and get off the mark at the third attempt. Ventura Dream was a little disappointing at Southwell last time but shaped well enough the time before to suggest he can be involved as well.[Richard O'Brien]

Dandy Man half-brother to a winner in Serbia; dam 7f AW winner (RPR 80), half-sister to winners Ibiza Rocks (7f 2yo) and I Still Have Faith (1m2f), out of half-sister to UAE 6f Group 1 winner Muarrab; stable is 1-39 with 2yos since 2020.
80,000euros yearling; Sioux Nation half-brother to four winners including Almarin (1m including 2yo; RPR 86), Scatterling (7f/1m including 2yo/AW/US) and Lilibet (Canadian 6.5f AW/7.5f turf); dam 6f 2yo winner (92); tongue-tied for debut; represents a top stable and well worth a market check.
150,000euros breeze-up purchase who badly needed his debut experience and improved markedly when fourth of ten at Lingfield (1m, AW) six weeks ago; type to progress further and high on the list.
Shaped quite nicely on debut over 7f at Newcastle in November but went backwards when sixth of eight over the same trip at Southwell; may still do better and he's not discounted here.
Comes from a yard that has had plenty of 2yo success in 2024 but no real encouragement in two AW runs to date, 200-1 when sixth of eight at Southwell on latest.
By Bated Breath; dam unplaced 7f-1m4f (RPR 60), half-sister to winners Subjectivist (7f-2m4f including Group 1 Gold Cup) and Sir Ron Priestley (1m4f-1m6f including Group 2), out of Listed-placed 1m 2yo winner; worth monitoring in the market on debut.

38,000gns yearling; Footstepsinthesand half-sister to six winners including Real Force (5f-7.5f including 2yo; 109) and Real Gain (1m-1m2f including 2yo/AW; 107); dam unraced half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 3 winner; stable 0-31 with juveniles in the last five seasons.
