Carey Street¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| D

5/1

Improved on debut sixth when making all to win over 5f at Pontefract (good-to-soft) last time out. Carries a penalty for that success and is one to note in this contest.

Form: 61

(2)

Howzer Black¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: K Dalgleish

3/1

Likely to have improved for his debut third at Newcastle over this distance last time out. Well drawn today and he is one of the more likely winners of this.

Form: 3

Percy Drake

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: Ollie Pears

50/1

Unraced gelded son of Sir Percy purchased for £5,000 at the sales last September. Dam successful over 6f and worth a check in the market.

Form:

Rockin Roy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: A Watson

3/1

Unraced son of Fast Company cost connections £36,000 at last months breeze-up sales. Half-brother to multiple winning sprinter Flying Bear and he is an interesting runner on debut.

Spring To Freedom

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

10/1

Unraced Zebedee colt bought for €14,000 last September. Half-brother to winning stayer Sports Barrow but jockey bookings suggest he is the yards second string in this.

Form:

(3)

The Great Heir¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan

4/1

Seemingly well fancied prior to finishing 9½L fourth on debut at Thirsk (5f, soft) a fortnight ago. Interesting to see how he fares with that experience under his belt.

Form: 4

(10)

Zebzardee

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

8/1

Unraced son of Zebedee purchased for €16,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to decent miler Zaridiya and he looks the pick of his trainers two runners based on jockey bookings.

Form:

(1)

Allux Girl

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: N Tinkler

20/1

Unraced daughter of Approve and a half-brother to a couple of winning sprinters. Stable are just 6% (11/194) with their two-year-old's on turf in recent seasons.

Form:

Biscuit Queen¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison

40/1

Never involved when finishing 12L ninth in a novice contest over C&D on debut recently. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 9

(9)

Solesmes¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: G Lee| T: M R Channon

33/1

Signs of ability on Windsor (5f, heavy) debut but proved a disappointment at Yarmouth (5f, good-to-firm) subsequently. Others make more appeal.

Form: 47

Forecasts

Rockin Roy (3/1), Howzer Black (3/1), The Great Heir (4/1), Carey Street (5/1), Zebzardee (8/1), Spring To Freedom (10/1), Allux Girl (20/1), Solesmes (33/1), Biscuit Queen (40/1), Percy Drake (50/1)

The sole previous winner in this contest CAREY STREET can defy a penalty to register his second victory in this opening two-year-old contest. The selection can make all the running here and can get the better of Zebzardee who is poorly drawn but represents a leading yard while Rockin Roy who is well drawn on debut can finish third.
