Adams Park¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Varian

2/1

Pleasing debut when finishing third of nine over 7f at Salisbury (good-to-soft) earlier this month. Shaped as if this step up in trip would suit and likely to play a leading role here.

Form: 3

Atomic Jack

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: F Sweeney| T: George Baker

25/1

Unraced Nathaniel colt cost 68,000gns as a yearling last Autumn. Dam was placed in a Grade 2 contest over 1m in the US and worth a check in the market on debut.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon

16/1

Unraced son of Kodiac purchased for £50,000 as a yearling 12 months ago. Half-brother to 6f winner Made Of Honour and represents a leading stable on racecourse debut.

6/1

Unraced son of Nathaniel bought for 75,000gns as a yearling last year. Half-brother to a number of winners most notably classy sprinter Eastern Impact and represents leading connections here.

12/1

Unraced Redoute's Choice colt cost 90,000gns as a yearling. Half-brother to Listed-winning miler Blossomtime and represents a stable with a 27% strike-rate (3/11) in recent weeks.

Kitaabaat¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Owen Burrows

6/4

Shaped with plenty of promise when finishing fourth of ten on debut over 7f at Salisbury (good) earlier this month. Pedigree suggests he will appreciate this step up in trip and softer ground forecast today.

Form: 4

(7)

Rastrelli¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch⁽³⁾| T: C Appleby

7/1

Fair effort when finishing fifth on debut at Newmarket (soft) earlier this month. Not certain to appreciate this step up in trip and interesting to see how he fares here.

Form: 5

Sukhovey^t1⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater

66/1

Signs of ability on debut at Newbury (good-to-firm) but well beaten at Newmarket subsequently and probably best watched wearing a tongue tie for the first time today.

Form: 50

Forecasts

Kitaabaat (6/4), Adams Park (2/1), Bowditch (6/1), Rastrelli (7/1), Larksborough (7/1), Danceteria (12/1), Bon Scotte (16/1), Atomic Jack (25/1), Sukhovey (66/1)

ADAMS PARK made a promising debut at Salisbury earlier this month and with this step up in trip likely to suit he can get off the mark at the second time of asking for trainer Roger Varian. Kitaabaat represents an in-form stable here with trainer Owen Burrows boasting a 27% strike-rate (3/11) in recent weeks and he can follow up his Salisbury fourth by claiming second here ahead of the unraced Bowditch who was an expensive yearling purchase and hails from a leading stable.
