Br Ballylinch Stud S Varian Stable Ltd TIMEFORM VIEW 200,000 gns yearling, New Bay half-brother to smart winner up to 10.3f Forest Ranger. Looked a good prospect when making a winning debut in C&D novice last month, overcoming inexperience. Interesting. TFRHHHHI

Br West Lodge Stud Partnership S Aten Therapeutics TIMEFORM VIEW Foaled March 13. 6,000 gns foal, Time Test colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 1 1/4m), closely related to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Infamous Angel. Tough ask on debut. TFRHIIII

Br Coolawn Stud S Kingsclere Stud TIMEFORM VIEW Came from off the pace to make a winning debut at Goodwood. Creditable fifth in Chesham at Royal Ascot next time before just denied in Group 2 at Newmarket. Sets the standard down in class. TFRHHHHH

Betting Forecast: EVENS Masekela (IRE), 2-1 Bayside Boy (IRE), 13-2 Seattle King (GB), 28-1 Robjon (GB), 40-1 Holiday (GB), 66-1 Amor Vincit Omnia (IRE) Race Summary: MASEKELA showed plenty of improvement when only just failing in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket 5 weeks ago and is clearly the one to beat down in class. Bayside Boy ran to a high level for a newcomer when winning over C&D last month so is the obvious threat, though Seattle King also looked a good prospect when making a winning start at Salisbury.
