6	Foaled March 12. Lope De Vega colt. Brother to very smart 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Shadow of Light, closely related to very smart winner up to 7f Earthlight. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to Criterium de Saint-Cloud Wavering. From an outstanding Godolphin family, and he's likely to run a big race. 1st Pick 6 Force Of Light Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby J: William Buick T: Charlie Appleby	99	-	-	-	50%	1/1

4	Stepped forward from debut when only beaten 4¼ lengths in Coventry at Royal Ascot. Unable to reproduce that form when runner-up in valuable Sandow novice on first try over 7f. Enough in that performance to warrant another crack at this trip (mixed signals in pedigree). Sets a fairly useful standard. 2nd Pick 4 Cilician (Ire) Jockey: Joe Leavy Trainer: Brian Meehan J: Joe Leavy T: Brian Meehan	100	-	-	-	20%	4/1

7	€190,000 Space Blues colt. Shortest-priced newcomer and showed promise amid greenness when beaten 5¾ lengths at Thirsk (form working out well).
