Expensive newcomer TACTICAL FORMATION is very much bred to make an impact as a 2-y-o and this speedily bred son of Group 1 winning sprinter Starman is taken to make a winning debut for his powerful ownership. Stellar Sunrise shaped well when runner-up at Goodwood and that form has already been given a boost, and he's feared most ahead of Egoli who wasn't given a hard time on debut and remains with potential.

    Foaled April 24. €70,000 yearling, 260,000 gns 2-y-o, Sioux Nation colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Infinity Blue and 2-y-o 5f winner Lethimfly. Yard are excellent with juveniles and he's one to note in the betting on debut.

    Verdict
    360,000 gns 2-y-o, Starman colt: closely related to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Byzantium (by Dutch Art), half-brother to New Road Side (2-y-o 5f winner). Dam, 5f winner, closely related to smart 5f/6f winner Texas Gold. Pedigree is all speed and should go well on debut for powerful connections.

    Verdict
    Foaled February 16. £65,000 yearling, Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Dam, third at 7.5f in France, half-sister to smart winner up to 13f Remus de La Tour. Worth a market check for yard that are capable of readying one first time up.

    Verdict
    No Nay Never colt. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Havana Gold. Well backed on debut (got loose beforehand) and offered encouragement, finishing fifth in a 13-runner Leicester maiden (6f), not knocked out. Sure to progress and will prove even better up in trip.

    Acclamtion gelding was visored for debut run when well beaten at Pontefract (6f) 22 days ago, slowly away and soon off the bridle. Difficult to be positive about his chances.
