Third at Ascot on second start and today's extra furlong is a likely plus; thereabouts

$240,000 yearling; represents a top stable and he's one to be interested in on debut
3 (5)	Edwin Hubble Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:Brian Meehan	J:Billy Loughnane T:Brian Meehan	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-4	1.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%

190,000euros breeze-up 2yo; could go well on debut, especially if attracting support

Dam Group-placed 1m2f/1m4f winner; suspicion he'll need further than this debut trip
2 (3)	Bird Of War Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Charles Hills	J:Jim Crowley T:Charles Hills	133	—	07	-	60	-	10d	—	—	-2	0.6	12.50/1	50/1 2%
