Newbury

RESPOND was a major eye-catcher on his recent introduction at Chelmsford and, with that experience to draw upon here, he is the pick of several appealing types. He may have most to fear from Caughtredhanded, who was behind Hinchinbrooke in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket but he is arguably open to the greater improvement of the pair. The William Haggas-trained newcomers Crown Imperial and Valiancy are likely-looking types that need a close look in the betting.

    Sent off at 50/1 and out with the washing when hooded (retained) for recent debut at Chelmsford. Likely he will be seen in a better light when handicapping further down the line.

    Verdict
    Fairly easy to back ahead of his debut in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good) but shaped well in the race itself, despite looking green, finishing fifth of 15 (stablemate Altareq a neck adrift in sixth). Appealing candidate with improvement likely now faced with a stiffer test.

    Verdict
    450,000 gns Frankel colt, closely related to 3 winners, including top-class winner up to 1½m Waldgeist and smart 1½m winner Waldlied. Yard has saddled the winner of this maiden on a few occasions and an entry in the Irish Derby suggests that this one is held in high regard. Watch the betting.

    Verdict
    Very much the stable second string on debut in the Wood Ditton but shaped well in fourth in that 15-runner maiden, leaving the impression that he would improve for the experience. This stiffer test should be in his favour, too, and he's one to consider.

    Verdict
    This Sea The Stars colt was an encouraging third of 11 in a Doncaster novice (7f, good) on debut at the end of March. However, he was a shade disappointing upped to this trip over C&D next time. Yard also saddles newcomer Minnesota.

    Verdict
    130,000 gns purchase who shaped with abundant promise when fourth in an 11-runner Chelmsford novice over this trip 15 days ago (not far behind the re-opposing Altareq, who had the benefit of experience). Will be more street-wise this time and a sizeable step forward is anticipated.

    Verdict
    €48,000 foal, 410,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to smart 6f winner Givemethebeatboys and out of an 11.3f/1½m winner. One of two likely-looking newcomers from the William Haggas yard and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say.

    Verdict
    Boasts an attractive pedigree and while he failed to measure up to market expectations (sent off at 4/6) when third on debut at Southwell (1m) in November, it's highly likely that he will leave that form well behind in time. Cheekpieces applied.
