Well-related colt by Dubawi but this autumn's 1m maiden/novice events at Nottingham (soft; 28-1) and Newcastle (AW; 15-2) produced modest form; looks a longer-term proposition, yard second string behind Northern Empire.
11,000gns yearling; second foal; Ulysses half-brother to 7f-1m2f winner The African Queen (including 2yo/AW; RPR 86); dam 1m2f-1m4f winner (89); probably needs to be pretty useful if he's to win this on debut.
100,000euros foal, 325,000gns yearling by Teofilo; ninth foal; brother to four winners including Guaranteed (7f-1m2f including 2yo Group 3; RPR 109) and Gear Up (7f-1m4f including 2yo Group 1; 114), closely related to 1m1f-1m4f winner New Direction (82); dam maiden (64); one to note from top yard which has had several winning 2yo newcomers recently.
By Geordieland; sixth foal; brother to 9.4f AW winner Jerriais (RPR 66), half-brother to Jersey 2m1f hurdle winner Jersey Jack; dam Jersey 7f-8.5f winner; newcomer, not as striking on paper as some of these.
From a leading yard but he was 80-1 for a novice at Kempton (1m, AW) three weeks ago and steadily dropped out once the race began in earnest; looks one for a later stage.
Modest form in two 7f novice/maiden events at Kempton (AW) over ten weeks ago; has since left Kevin Philippart de Foy for 15,000gns at the end of October; probably best watched for now.
Never-dangerous outsider this month when beaten 16l at Kempton and 26l at Southwell (again 7f on AW) 11 days later; it's likely to be in handicaps next year that he comes good.
220,000euros yearling by Night Of Thunder; 12-1, made most when about 7l fourth of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f, AW) three weeks ago; major role looks on its way, with improvement highly likely.
By Aclaim; fourth foal; unraced dam half-sister to winners Heron (1m6f), Own Agenda (US 8.5f, including turf) and Ashwa Parth (Indian 6f-1m), out of useful French 1m winner; probably best watched on debut.
By Kingman; first foal of 7f-1m2f winner (including Group 2; RPR 115); 5-2 for novice at Southwell (7f, AW) last month when no match for the impressive winner but beating the other 12, always prominent and keeping on stoutly despite hanging left; drawn wide today but he's one of the few to consider seriously.
