Black-Type Analysis: John Of Gaunt Puzzle For Kinross

[Wandering Eyes]

Saturday, Baden-Baden, Germany, post time: 15:50, JAPAN RACING ASSOCIATION DERBY-TRIAL-G3, €55,000, 3yo, 10fT

Field: Aquaman (Ger) (Cracksman {GB}), Eagle Emblem (Ire) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Juwelier (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Next Mine (Ger) (Dabirsim {Fr}), Path Of Soldier (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Zafirelli (Hun) (Study Of Man {Ire}).

TDN Verdict: Path Of Soldier had Aquaman resume rivalry, having been first and third in Munich's G3 Bavarian Classic at the start of the month. Juwelier was fifth in Chantilly's Listed Prix de Suresnes last time and that could represent the strongest form. [Tom Frary].

Saturday, York, post time: 15:15, WILLIAM HILL BRONTE CUP FILLIES' STAKES-G3, £100,000, 4yo/up, f/m, 13f 188yT

Field: Divina Grace (Ire) (Golden Horn {GB}), Allonsy (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Crystal Flyer (GB) (Magna Grecia {Ire}), Jane Temple (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), Scenic (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Sueno (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Term Of Endearment (GB) (Sea The Moon {Ger}).

TDN Verdict: Last year's winner Term Of Endearment meets a pair of unexposed fillies from Clarehaven in Sueno and Jane Temple, with Ryan Moore an eye-catching booking for the former. Up in trip after an unlucky fourth behind the stable's Shaha and the re-opposing Scenic in Goodwood's Listed Daisy Warwick Fillies' Stakes earlier this month, she has the edge over her stablemate, the Kempton novice winner who carries the Oppenheimer silks successful in this with Precious Ramotswe in its inaugural running in 2018. [Tom Frary].

Saturday, Haydock, post time: 14:58, BETFRED NIFTY 50 LESTER PIGGOTT FILLIES' STAKES-G3, £85,000, 4yo/up, f/m, 11f 175yT

Field: Sioux Life (Ity) (Sioux Nation), Beautiful Love (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), Bay Of Sanibel (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Chorus (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Estrange (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Invisible Friend (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Our Golden One (Ire) (Golden Horn {GB}), Shaha (Ire) (Cracksman {GB}).

TDN Verdict: Shaha, who beat the G3 Bronte Cup protagonists Scenic and Sueno in Goodwood's Listed Daisy Warwick Fillies' Stakes earlier this month, faces another unexposed filly in Estrange who was last seen winning Doncaster's Listed Gillies Fillies' Stakes in November. They may have more upside than Beautiful Love, so readily outclassed by See The Fire in York's G2 Middleton Stakes last time. [Tom Frary].

Saturday, Haydock, post time: 15:33, BETFRED JOHN OF GAUNT STAKES-G3, £85,000, 4yo/up, 7f 37yT

Field: Kinross (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Alyanaabi (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Audience (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}), Grey's Monument (GB) (Territories {Ire}), Kikkuli (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Mount Athos (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Quinault (Ger) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Room Service (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), Spycatcher (Ire) (Vadamos {Fr}), Ten Bob Tony (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Volterra (Ire) (Farhh {GB}), TIger Bay (GB) (Harry Angel {Ire}).

TDN Verdict: Kinross is back once again, but as he needed his first start last term he will almost definitely shape fitter for this. Audience reinvented himself last term when taking the G1 Lockinge Stakes and G2 Lennox Stakes, but is uncertain to like this turning test already mastered by Shadwell's Alyanaabi. Newly gelded before his comeback win in the course-and-distance Listed Spring Trophy, he boasts a similar profile to that of Kinross when he first signalled his rise to the top in this four years ago. [Tom Frary].
