Herbygoesbananas
In need of the experience on his debut in a Huntingdon junior bumper in November (2m, good to soft) but he still managed to win comfortably and the form has been franked by the runner-up (fourth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham); bred to have a future on the Flat and the standard to aim at isn't daunting.

Unplaced in two bumpers and finished a remote 11th on his recent Flat debut (1m2f, AW; 150-1).

Altareq
Brother to 1m2f Listed winner Al Asifah; market drifter in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good) on debut two weeks ago when he looked in need of the experience and didn't seem at ease on the track in the closing stages; could prove a different proposition with that run behind him and he's an interesting contender now upped in trip.

Bedford
72,000gns yearling, 72,000gns breeze-up 2yo; sixth foal; closely related to winners Positive Impact (7f turf/1m AW; RPR 109) and Desert Rhapsody (French 1m), half-brother to three winners including Turntable (1m-1m2f; 101); dam 6f AW 2yo/1m turf winner (100); hooded for debut; stable, who also run Kurakka, not renowned for winning newcomers but pedigree dictates he needs a market check.

Belaya River
Slowly away and beaten 15l when fourth of seven on his Nottingham debut three weeks ago (1m2f, good); apprentice-ridden this time; others look stronger.

Desert Shadow
Unplaced in two runs in Dubai in January but he showed ability and there were some smart opponents in those contests; in much calmer waters today and there is encouragement for AW on pedigree; not a certain stayer on breeding but he's still more interesting than many.

Kurakka
Showed a fair level of ability in two 1m runs at Kempton in late 2024; bred to stay this longer trip but he will need to settle better; top on RPR and with the potential for more.

Plymouth Brethren
Shaped well in a slowly-run 8.6f novice at Wolverhampton on his debut in March; pulled hard when remote in a 1m2f novice at Newmarket 15 days ago (22-1); likely to do better at some point but will need to settle to fulfil his potential.

Prepare To Strike
He has run to a similar level in two 1m runs at Southwell and Kempton this spring; not sure to need this far on pedigree but he remains capable of better.

Savvy Stellar
66-1 for his Kempton debut last October (1m) and was well beaten having never travelled; gelded since; not easily recommended.
