All five in this who have had a run look capable of progressing with time and experience. NIETZSCHE finished ahead of Bochart when both were introduced at Haydock and is taken to do so once again, although Charlie Appleby's juveniles have all improved considerably for their initial racecourse experience and it would be no surprise were he to produce a much-improved performance this time around. Welford and Spongy should both come on again but appeal more as nursery types down the line. Bluebeard looks more appropriate short-list material as he was noted staying on nicely on debut in the Newbury maiden won by Qeyaadah.
Bluebeard 4-1 (9-5) Prominent, ridden over 1f out, ran green and soon beaten, no extra inside final furlong, 6th of 12, 8l behind Qeyaadah (9-5) at Newbury 6f 2yo mdn (4) gd in May.
Bochart 9-1 (9-5) Prominent, edged left 2f out, weakened inside final furlong, 7th of 8, 12l behind Aleko (9-5) at Haydock 6f 2yo mdn (5) gs in May.
Fastnet Prince (IRE) Fastnet Rock colt out of Lucky Spin.
Nietzsche 6-1 (9-5) Held up, headway over 2f out, shaken up over 1f out, stayed on same pace inside final furlong, 4th of 8, 6l behind Aleko (9-5) at Haydock 6f 2yo mdn (5) gs in May.
Spongy (IRE) 7-1 (9-5) Towards rear, headway over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, went 3rd towards finish, 3rd of 8, 8l behind Beaverbrook (9-5) at Chester 6f 2yo mdn (4) gd in May.
Welford 4-1 (9-5) Tracked leader, driven and one pace when came into view 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, held towards finish, 3rd of 6, 1 1/2l behind Mirage (9-0) at Brighton 6f 2yo mdn (5) gs.
