Cambeleza

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan

8/1

£19,000 yearling. Second foal of an unraced full-sister to Listed-placed 1m2f winner Bouguereau and half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Icicle. Sire won over 6f on debut at two. Stable in-form and he could make a good debut.

Agent Smith

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Russell Harris⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke

12/1

£16,000 yearling. Fourth foal of a 6½f-1m2f winning half-sister to 1m3f/1m4f winner Saranjo and 5f-1m1½f Fibresand winner Dust To Dust. Stable's juvenile strike-rate 16% on turf over past five seasons; market check advised.

Gifted Zebedee¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron

3/1

16-1 on recent C&D debut (good to soft) when showing promise while being beaten over 6L. Pedigree suggests that the forecast ground will suit better, while that experience is also taken as a positive. Can get much closer this time.

Form: 4

Wolf Hunter¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: P Makin| T: R Hughes

9/2

Pulled hard and blew his chance early on at Kempton (5f, Polytrack) earlier in the month. Looked to be getting the hang of things later in the race and finished well to be a 5L fourth. Needs to settle better and if he can he has a squeak.

Form: 74

Raquelle

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby

11/4

€4,000 yearling, resold for £25,000. Half-sister to three winners including Favourite Girl (5f-6f, inc. at two), out of a profilic 6½f-1m½f winner in Scandinavia. Stable already had one juvenile winner though not noted for debut successes.

Essenza

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: D Fentiman| T: R A Fahey

8/1

12,000 guineas yearling. Half-sister to 5f juvenile winner It Dont Come Easy. Dam an unraced half-sister to 5f-6½f Listed winner Rolo Tomasi and Group-placed 6f-1m winner Elegant Ridge; nice pedigree and good debut anticipated.

Piccothepack¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: R A Fahey

13/2

3-1 and made a good debut at Chelmsford (5f) last month. Not at that level from high draw at Beverley last time. Can probably forgive her that and her experience looks a positive going into this. Still a bit to prove.

Forecasts

Raquelle (11/4), Gifted Zebedee (3/1), Wolf Hunter (9/2), Piccothepack (13/2), Essenza (8/1), Cambeleza (8/1), Agent Smith (12/1), Mazeo Lad (12/1)

Piccothepack cannot be ruled out despite being a shade disappointing at Beverley last time out but the suggestion is GIFTED ZEBEDEE. David Barron's charge made a promising debut over C&D last month and can probably benefit for some good ground this time. Wolf Hunter and Mazeo Lad both look potential improvers, with Essenza and Cambeleza the more interesting of those making their debuts.
