8/1
Won a Leicester maiden (6f, good to soft) in May but then beaten 14½L in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot last time. This is not as deep, though he will need to be back on song to defy top weight and a mark of 78 on his nursery debut.

8/1
His best effort in a trio of maidens was at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) on his second start, when beaten at odds-on. Not quite as good last time back at that venue and now steps up in trip for his nursery debut, from what looks a fair mark. Market check advised to gauge expectations, but should be competitive.

11/1
Improved in his first three runs, winnning the third of them at Wetherby (5½f, soft). Well beaten in the Listed Winsdor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot last time, where he finished just ahead of June Dog. May be able to recapture form here, however, and not ruled out.

12/1
Improved for his York debut when dropped to the minimum trip at Sandown on his second outing, though not up to Group Two standard last time. This is more his level and he looks feasibly weighted to get involved.

Age: 2|  Weight: 8-13| J: D Tudhope| T: R M Beckett| OR:  70| BF
7/1
Has run to a similar level of form in all three starts and certainly showed enough promise to suggest that his trainer has something to work with now he enters nurseries from a mark of 70 and stepped up to a trip that ought to suit better. Very interesting.

Our Man In Havana17
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR:  69
2/1
Has put up similar efforts in all is last three runs and showed that he handles good ground at Carlisle last time, while he won't mind any rain. Makes his nursery debut today from a workable mark, so has to enter calculations.

Age: 2|  Weight: 8-12| J: P Cosgrave| T: R Hannon| OR:  69| BF
8/1
Beaten favourite at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) last time, but that was arguably a minor improvement nonetheless. The step up to 6f should be a positive and he should be capable of having a say from this mark.

Atalanta Queen22
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-9| J: G Lee| T: B J Meehan| OR:  66
28/1
Her best effort so far was on debut at Newmarket (6f, good to soft), but she had been unable to repeat or better than in two more starts. Probably better at this trip and has a mark that her trainer can probably work with, so looking for better from her this time.

Thrifty42
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR:  64
22/1
Another who has regressed since a promising debut at Newcastle (5f, AW) in April. Effective on fast ground on turf, though yet to race on slower. Will need to better her last two efforts to win from this mark.

Shovel It On29
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-6| J: F Norton| T: P D Evans| OR:  63
16/1
Showed a bit of promise on debut, though has not lived up to that since, including when stepped up to this trip last time. Plenty to prove on his nursery debut from this mark.

Ventura Crest17
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-4| J: Rachel Richardson(3)| T: T D Easterby| OR:  61
20/1
Well held on all three starts in novices' company, including twice over 6f on good ground. Likely that his trainer will find a nursery for him somewhere, but it takes a leap of faith to see him being good enough this time.

I Am Dandy34
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-1| J: Nathan Evans(3)| T: J Ewart| OR:  58
33/1
Easily accounted for in his three runs so far, but could do better now trying this type of race and back up to 6f. Yard had a recent winner and a market check is advised.

Forecasts

Our Man In Havana (2/1), Alaska (5/1), Jim Rockford (7/1), June Dog (8/1), Shobrom (8/1), Bodybuilder (8/1), Magnus (11/1), New Empire (12/1), Shovel It On (16/1), Ventura Crest (20/1), Thrifty (22/1), Angel Force (25/1), Atalanta Queen (28/1), I Am Dandy (33/1)

Verdict

Quite a few of these are likely to need this as part of their education, but JIM ROCKFORD looks to have some potential from his initial mark and gets the vote. Our Man In Havana is likely to be able to make his presence felt, while June Dog, Shobrom, Alaska, Magnus and Bodybuilder are others likely to get competitive.
