Diviner¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| D

5/4

Made all on her second start at Wolverhampton (5f) to score by 5L from Where's Perle. This track is tailor-made for a repeat of those tactics, with her winners penalty not a major concern given her sharp level of progress from debut.

Form: 71

Hey Jazzy Lady

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: A Crook

125/1

Unraced first foal by Red Jazz out of an unraced half-sister to the 5f Listed juvenile winner Bahamian Babe. Stable not renowned for two-year-old winners.

Kodelight

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

22/1

Unraced seventh foal by Kodiac out of Night Delight. Sister to the 5f winner and Catterick specialist Landing Night, and a half-sister to the 7f winner Jumbo Steps. Market helpful.

Not So Shy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: Tom Dascombe

33/1

Unraced fourth foal by Heeraat out of an unraced dam (Littlemisstutti). Cost just £5,000 as a yearling, but is a half-sister to various winners including Nidnod (6f) and Tooty Fruitti (5f).

Posh Perfect³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| BF

12/1

Cost 87,000 gns as a foal and was sent off favourite on debut at Ripon in April (soft), finishing a disappointing last of ten to Light My Fire. Worth another chance now switched to this much sounder surface.

Form: 0

Quintana Roo

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J Hughes

25/1

Unraced third foal by Coach House, and a half-sister to the 5f AW winner Blastofmagic. However, there's also plenty of stamina on the dam side, so may find things happening quickly enough on debut at this sharp track.

Red Handed²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: M R Channon

33/1

Sixties Icon filly who showed clear signs of inexperience (dwelt) on debut at Nottingham three weeks ago (5f soft), finishing an outpaced 5+L third of four to a stablemate of Diviner (Delft Dancer).

Form: 3

Second Generation¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: J Tate

9/2

Cost 22,000 gns as a yearling and this daughter of Dawn Approach left the impression that there was much better to come on debut over C&D last week when finishing a close up seventh of ten to Shumookhi.

Form: 7

(8)

Stage Play¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: M L W Bell

2/1

Oasis Dream filly out of the Listed winner Boastful (5f-1m). Cost €160,000 as a foal and should be sharper for her debut on quick ground at Ascot recently in a race which already has a rock-solid feel. Player.

Form: 8

Thornton Katie^h⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: B Rothwell

250/1

Started at odds of 100/1 on debut at Beverley last week (5f gd/frm), and looked to be seriously in need of that introduction to racing. Hard to see her playing any noteworthy part.

Form: 9

Diviner (5/4), Stage Play (2/1), Second Generation (9/2), Posh Perfect (12/1), Klass Action (12/1), Kodelight (22/1), Quintana Roo (25/1), Red Handed (33/1), Not So Shy (33/1), Sekoya (33/1), Hey Jazzy Lady (125/1), Thornton Katie (250/1)

Stage Play has obvious claims on the strength of her pleasing Ascot debut effort earlier this month where she had the misfortune to bump into the abundantly talented Royal Ascot bound pair Shades Of Blue and Come On Leicester (won since). She should be stronger and wiser for that experience, but is likely to have her work cut out to reel in the well-drawn likely trailblazer DIVINER. She has a penalty to carry for her Wolverhampton success, but looks to be progressing at a steady rate of knots for a trainer in very strong form.
