Comment: 95,000euros yearling, 230,000gns 2yo breeze-ups; Starspangledbanner half-brother to winners Janoobi (7f/1m; RPR 103), Celtic Chieftain (5f 2yo; 84) and Lumacho (5f 2yo; 76); dam 5f/6f winner (including 2yo; 99); purchase price catches the eye and his trainer does very well with 2yos here.

Comment: 46,000euros foal, £46,000 yearling; fourth foal; Havana Grey half-brother to 6f 2yo winner Sweet Sonata (RPR 73); dam 1m AW winner (59) from talented family; one of two newcomers for trainer who is enjoying an excellent season with his 2yos; one to consider, and the betting could be informative.

Comment: Improved upon last month's debut at Musselburgh (5f, good) to finish second of three there (5f, good) last time, behind Meelaf who went close in the Hilary Needler at Beverley on Saturday; takes on some very interesting newcomers but sets a good standard for them to aim at.

Dakota Dawn

Jockey: Connor Beasley Trainer: John & Sean Quinn Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 4

Comment: £52,000 yearling who was 25-1 when fourth of five on last month's debut at Ripon (5f, good); that was a hot little race and she's open to improvement, but she needs a sizeable step forward to make an impact today.

Comment: On a losing run of more than two years but he found only one, who was on a hat-trick, too good on recent return at Southwell (1m, AW); well treated on form as recent as last spring and the more rain to fall the better; non-runner.

Comment: Three wins last summer (1m3f-2m1f, good to soft-good to firm) and he's back to his last winning mark; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game on his three runs this year and could do without one of his slow starts.

Comment: Ex-Irish 5yo who won on stable debut at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last October and went close there (1m4f) next time; disappointing at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in December when last seen but a break may have helped and he retains potential; no surprise to see a big run on his reappearance.

Comment: Fair second at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last October on third and final run for the Gosden yard, and sold for 30,000gns later that month; fairly encouraging fourth of eight on this month's handicap and stable debut over C&D (good to firm) and he may be able to build on that performance.

Comment: Returned to form to win at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in March and went close at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) next time; always behind at Southwell (1m4f, AW) subsequently and it's hard to be overly confident on the back of that, but his previous good form this spring means he can't be ruled out.

Comment: Well beaten at Southwell (2m, AW) in January and same story on sole run since, over this C&D (good to firm) 24 days ago; however, he may have needed that latest run and is 4lb lower than when winning this last year (soft); rain may be a help to his claims and he could bounce back.

Comment: Two fair runs in 1m4f AW handicaps; likely needs more for the return to turf and longer trips might be his destiny as dam was a 1m6f Listed winner who finished third in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes, and whose winning offspring include a 2m winner; still not ruled out for yard that won this in 2024.
