BATTLE DRUM (7) is a two-year-old colt on debut by War Front from the former top race mare Emollient who has been a prolific producer including winners at black type level. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. YEP (5) is on debut for the Andre Fabre stable. Two-year-old colt by Dark Angel and was purchased for EUR € 220,000 (Arqana 2025 Breeze Up). Leading prospect on face value, with betting holding the key. STARSPIRIT GATSBY (4) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1200m at this track in a tougher race. Has plenty of upside so he is among the leading chances. IKOTOFETSY (1) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths over 1000m at Chantilly. Open to plenty of improvement.
