Leeshaan¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: M Harley| T: J Tate| OR: 81| D

3/1

Broke his maiden at the third attempt at Haydock (good) over this distance last time out. Carries a penalty for that success but likely to run well once more.

Form: 341

Breath Caught

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R M Beckett

11/4

Unraced home-bred daughter of Bated Breath and a half-brother to the tough Group 1 winner Twice Over amongst others. Worth a check in the market ahead of his debut.

Champs De Reves⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark⁽³⁾| T: M P Tregoning

16/1

Well held when 11L 11th of 13 over 7f at Salisbury (good-to-soft) when making his debut last week. Turned out quickly here and probably best watched.

Form: 0

Coal Stock²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: P D Evans

33/1

Finished seventh of nine when making his debut over 6f at Windsor (good-to-firm) last month. Shaped as if further would suit on that occasion but more needed here.

Form: 7

(5)

Ferik¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans

16/1

Finished sixth in two Haydock contests including behind Leeshaan on good ground over this trip last time out. Work to do if he's to reverse that form here.

Form: 66

Fortune's Pearl

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

11/2

Unraced son of Harbour Watch bought for 30,000 gns as a foal in November 2015. Half-sister to a couple of classy performers at around this trip and market support would be interesting on debut.

Giovanni Medici¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: S Durack

33/1

Finished 10L behind the winner when eighth of nine over 7f at Sandown (good) on debut last month. Others make more appeal in this.

Form: 8

(7)

Landue⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: M P Tregoning

20/1

Ninth of 13 and beaten 10L when debuting on good-to-soft ground over this distance at Salisbury last week. Making a quick reappearance here and others have a more obvious chance.

Form: 9

Lyford¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: S Kirk

66/1

Well held fifth in two starts so far. Both of those came at Lingfield including over this distance on good-to-firm ground last time out.

Form: 55

Mr Large

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne

16/1

Unraced son of Footstepsinthesand bought for £34,000 at the breeze-up sales in April. Dam a winner on heavy ground over 1m in Ireland and market support would be interesting on debut.

Deadly Reel¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: A Watson

9/2

Stepped up on debut effort when finishing ½L third in a seven runner maiden at Wetherby (good-to-firm) a fortnight ago. A repeat of that effort should see her go close in this.

Form: 63

(8)

Travellers Joy

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Ryan Tate| T: R Hughes

33/1

Unraced home-bred daughter of Equiano out of a mare who won four times on the AW at up to an extended 1m1f. Worth a check in the market here.

Forecasts

Breath Caught (11/4), Leeshaan (3/1), Deadly Reel (9/2), Fortune's Pearl (11/2), Ferik (16/1), Champs De Reves (16/1), Mr Large (16/1), Landue (20/1), Giovanni Medici (33/1), Coal Stock (33/1), Travellers Joy (33/1), Couldn't Could She (33/1), Lyford (66/1)

DEADLY REEL finished a close third last time out and can put her experience to good use by taking this opening juvenile contest. Leeshaan saw off a fast finishing rival at Haydock last month and had run well in two starts prior to that and he is taken to get the better of the newcomer Fortune's Pearl in the battle for second with the well-bred Breath Caught another debutant to note today.
