Bleu Et Noir^h⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: S Donohoe| T: Tim Vaughan

66/1

Fair hurdler who was last of seven eight weeks ago. Makes Flat debut and likely to find this trip on the short side.

Captain Cockle

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal

100/1

Unraced Indian Haven gelding out of a dam who was only moderate. Makes little appeal on that pedigree.

Caledonia Duchess²⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Hughes| OR: 65

33/1

11-race maiden with a modest BHA rating and representing a yard who are 2-82 around here. Looks up against it on return from a lengthy break.

Ancient Foe¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

3/1

Shamardal gelding and half-brother to Group 3 winner Sparkling Beam while dam was a Group placed two-year-old winner. Showed he had learned a lot from his Chester debut when third in a decent Chelmsford maiden. Stable in form and he is a major player for a yard that took this in 2012.

Form: 63

Ashwass

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

12/1

Unraced Lonhro gelding out of a dam who was a speedy juvenile. Related to a couple of winners at trips from 6f-1m who were successful on their debuts.

Form:

Crystal Sunstone

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

25/1

Retained by the breeder for 10,000 gns and related to four winners. Dam was a winner in the US over a mile. Stable in form but not usually associated with debut winners in this age group.

Form:

(8)

Harvest Wind¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 79

9/2

Placed in a sub-standard Doncaster maiden last year and went down by a nose in another weak race two weeks ago. Entitled to come on for the run and needs to improve on what we have seen to land this.

Form: 73-2

(4)

Hawker Hurricane

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Fresu| T: L McJannet

66/1

Bought out Sir Michael Stoute's yard unraced for 24,000 gns. Related to a couple of winners but looks an unlikley candidate for honours in this.

Form:

(7)

Jus Pires^t³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: J Noseda

15/8

Has been supported on both outings to date and has been given a break since having a hard race last time. Forced an 80 rated favourite to pull out all the stops to repel him by a head. That effort sets a clear standard and switch to the AW should not inconvenience him.

Form: 72

(13)

Section D'or¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: D Menuisier

66/1

New Approach gelding out of an Italian Listed winner. Has failed to live up that pedigree on both starts when unloved in the market. May be one for handicaps later in the year.

Form: 96

(2)

Shadow Beauty²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| BF

9/1

Beaten 7L when runner-up in a Chelmsford maiden last December. The winner was well beaten on his next start and the third, who was only a neck behind, is now rated 58. May need the run and probably has plenty to find.

Form: 2-

(12)

Zain Star¹⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: J Butler

14/1

Winners in the pedigree and noted making some late headway on Yarmouth debut in April. Has since switched yards and likely to need the run.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Jus Pires (15/8), Ancient Foe (3/1), Harvest Wind (9/2), Point Of Interest (9/2), Shadow Beauty (9/1), Ashwass (12/1), Zain Star (14/1), Crystal Sunstone (25/1), Caledonia Duchess (33/1), Section D'or (66/1), Bleu Et Noir (66/1), Hawker Hurricane (66/1), Captain Cockle (100/1)

Ashwass is one to note in the market on debut, particularly as a stable companion beat JUS PIRES last time. Jeremy Noseda's charge has attracted support on both starts and forced an 80 rated rival into a photo finish last time. That rates the pick of the form on offer and he is taken to collect. Ancient Foe improved significantly last time when third at Chelmsford and he rates a bigger danger than Harvest Wind.
