CHARLES DARWIN posted an outstanding timefigure in seeing off a trio of newcomers at Naas and is very much the one to beat on that form, even before factoring in the potential for further improvement. Naval Light and Afjan both strike as the types to improve markedly from their debuts, so they look most interesting of the opposition.

    Verdict
    No Nay Never colt who confirmed debut promise when running out a dominant winner of a 12-runner Navan maiden (5.8f, soft) in April, quickening clear over 1f out. Produced a near smart performance in following up in 4-runner minor event at Naas (5f) and sets a clear standard.

    Mehmas colt who impressively overcame the run of the race to make a successful debut in 9-runner maiden at Chantilly (5.5f, good) 18 days ago, quickening well to lead final 1f. Tongue tie retained and has scope for plenty of improvement.

    Verdict
    Well-made son of Mehmas who fetched 1,000,000 gns as a yearling. Highly promising start when seeing off one with experience in 13-runner C&D conditions race in April and ran at least as well in defeat when 1¾ lengths fourth of 11 to First Legion at York since. Remains open to improvement.

    Verdict
    Mehmas colt created an excellent impression when making a winning debut in 11-runner novice at York (6f, good) on debut, showing a good turn of foot. Gave a good account up in grade when second in 7-runner listed event at Sandown (5f) since and likely to progress further.

    Verdict
    From a good US family and overcame a tardy start to make a winning debut in a valuable 8-runner minor event at Gulfstream (5f, firm, 79/10) 40 days ago. Open to improvement and an interesting contender.

    90,000 gns foal, 300,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey colt who overcame greenness to make a winning debut in 5-runner maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good) 10 days ago, well on top finish. Bare form ordinary but seems sure to progress fitted with a first-time tongue strap.

    Verdict
    Much improved when off the mark at the fourth time of asking in 8-runner listed race at Chantilly (5f, good) 18 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Uncertain to reproduce that form, however.

    Blue Point colt. 175,000 gns breeze-up buy who unsurprisingly knew his job and made a promising start to career when second of 13 in 6f maiden at Leicester 23 days ago. Likely to improve.

    Shaped much better than the bare result at Beverley on debut and confirmed that promise with victory in 7-runner maiden at Nottingham (5f, good, 6/1) 3 weeks later. Open to further improvement but this is a whole different ball game.

    Acclamation colt out of a French 1½m/12.5f winner. Produced his best effort to date when second of 8 in conditions stakes at Chester (5.1f, good) last month but is surely biting off more than he can chew here.
