Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 71| D

11/2

Took a 6f maiden on her debut at Windsor but hasn't stepped up on that form at all if anything going backwards at the moment although the 7f trip didn't look to suit last time. Makes her handicap debut here but more needed to be of interest.

Form: 175

Queen Of Kalahari²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: C Hills| OR: 71| D

6/1

Looked to have improved when taking her maiden over 5f on soft at Leicester and got back to winning ways with a win over 6f in a minor event at Newbury (had run of race). Has disappointed on both tries in nurseries so far and a bit to prove here.

Form: 312165

Bodybuilder³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 69

8/1

Yet to win a race but hails from a yard having a good season with their juveniles but did flop rather badly on his nursery debut at Haydock. Showed that run to be all wrong last time out with solid run over 5f (soft) at Lingfield and shortlisted here.

Form: 75302

Princess Lyla¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 68| D

3/1

Had three fairly quick early career runs before being given a break and coming back with back-to-back handicap wins over 6f and 5f (AW). Up 3lb here but still looks to have scope of this mark and will go close to a hat-trick.

Form: 35511

General Marius^b1¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Bentley| T: R Varian| OR: 68

9/2

Looks to be learning by the run with the latest effort over 6f being his best so far and he wasn't unduly punished either. Now steps into handicaps for the first time from a top yard with the blinkers going on for the first time.

Form: 665

Blessed To Empress²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 66

7/1

Showed plenty of speed when making a winning debut over 5f on the AW in May. Didn't quite build on that start (one stiff task) before returning to form last time out on handicap debut although the 6f looked to stretch her as did a mark of 68 (off 66 here).

Form: 1048

Diamond Dougal¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| OR: 64

11/2

His two best runs so far have come over 5f with his sojourn over 7f last time on handicap debut looking too far. This 6f still looks a touch further than he really needs and others have a better chance here.

Form: 3357

Forecasts

Princess Lyla (3/1), Haveoneyerself (7/2), General Marius (9/2), Diamond Dougal (11/2), Boomerang Betty (11/2), Queen Of Kalahari (6/1), Blessed To Empress (7/1), One For June (7/1), Bodybuilder (8/1)

There are a few in here with form that gives them a chance of landing this with Bodybuilder deserving a place in any shortlist after he bounced back to form last time. Haveoneyourself has already proved himself at this venue but may struggle to give the weight away here to a couple of useful types in Princess Lyla and GENERAL MARIUS. The former is going for a three-timer here and has the scope to be successful off this mark but may well have run into one here in the latter who looks primed for this with the blinkers going on for the first time.
