There are some interesting pedigrees among the newcomers but ALBA CRUS, the only one of these with experience, went through his recent debut at Uttoxeter nicely and already sets a fair standard. The market should be informative regarding the remainder, with Usyk heading that list.[Richard Russell]

55,000euros 3yo; half-brother to five winners, notably Kolossal (European 1m2f-1m4f including Group 3; RPR 110); 3-1, led over 1f out before being run out of the places in the final strides at Uttoxeter (good) ten days ago; sets a fair standard and should improve.
3,000gns yearling, £7,000 3yo; sixth foal; brother to 1m6f winner Self Inflicted Sid (RPR 85), half-brother to 1m6f AW (76) and 2m hurdle winner Gripper; dam 1m4f winner (87); yard has the occasional bumper winner but is 0-30 in them over the last five seasons.

15,000euros 3yo; sixth foal; half-brother to bumper/2m hurdle winner Raven Rule; dam point winner, half-sister to smart 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner The Minack and useful 2m3f-3m hurdle/chase winner Definity, out of Irish Grand National winner Ebony Jane; yard can ready one and is always to be respected in this sort of contest.
3,000euros 3yo; seventh foal; half-sister to winners Wewillgowithplanb (2m-2m2f hurdle/chase) and Big Bad Bear (bumper/2m-2m4f hurdle); dam unraced half-sister to high-class bumper and 2m-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Invitation Only; yard is 0-18 in bumpers but she's worth a market check.
Third foal; half-sister to French 14.5f winner Mademoiselle As; dam unraced half-sister to 1m7f Flat and smart 2m-2m1f hurdle/chase winner Saturnas; stable 0-22 in bumpers over the last five seasons but Harry Cobden's an interesting booking; market can guide.
