Daydreama

5/2

Comment: Lots of stamina in pedigree so it was a promising start when third of 13 at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) in May, outpaced but coming home well; will likely be doing his best work late again; player.

9/2

Comment: £30,000 yearling; gained plenty of market traction when 9-4 but only eighth of 13 at Carlisle (6f, good to soft; Daydreama third) on May's debut; better was evidently expected and he's subsequently been gelded; yard won a division of this last year and he's probably not one to give up on.

Comment: By Starspangledbanner; 30,000gns yearling; tenth foal; half-brother to five winners including Peace In Motion (7f-8.5f including 2yo/German Group 3; RPR 107), Peace Warrior (French 7.5f turf/1m AW; 100) and Peace Society (German 6f 2yo/7f Listed; 95); dam 7f/1m winner (including 2yo/Group 3; 103); attractive pedigree and market can guide.

Twilight Serenade

Jockey: J Garritty Trainer: Richard Fahey Age/Wt: 2/9-7

Comment: Well beaten in last year's Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy but consistent otherwise, winning an Ayr maiden (6f) in May and only going down by a short head in a York handicap (5f, also good to firm) last month; this is a step up in grade but there's likely better to come.

Comment: Back on track in four starts for this yard, winning at Thirsk (good to firm) before good fourth of 13 at York; that form's worked out and he was a solid third at Hamilton (also 5f, good) three weeks ago; player again.

10/1

Comment: 50-1 and dropped right away on his stable debut in April (6f, AW) but 5f is arguably his best trip and he was a solid sixth of 19 in the Dash at Epsom (5f, good) on Derby day; wins more than his fair share and will probably make presence felt.

Comment: 40-1, failed to beat a rival at Windsor (5f, good to firm) on stable/seasonal debut and the market wasn't expecting much better when he took a huge step forward at Epsom (6f, soft; 33-1) on Derby day, finishing second of 11; previous record in Ireland says he doesn't need soft ground and return to 5f should be fine.

Comment: All five Flat starts on AW; won over hurdles for Gordon Elliott in Ireland last summer but lost his form subsequently and has largely struggled in that discipline since joining this yard too; appeared to be running better in a first-time hood until blundering his jockey away three out last time, albeit that was too far out to draw definitive conclusions; no hood for this first Flat start in a year.
