Blonde Warrior²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer

4/9

Narrowly beaten when finishing runner-up in a 6f contest at Newbury (good-to-firm) on debut last month. Likely to prove hard to beat in this contest.

Form: 2

Fares Alpha

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: G Mosse| T: M Botti

25/1

Unraced son of Exchange Rate bought for £44,000 at the breeze-up sales in April. Market support would be interesting on debut.

Never involved when finishing seventh of nine on debut at York (6f, good-to-firm) last month. Likely to improve on that effort on this occasion.

Ustath

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

11/4

Unraced Exceed And Excel colt bought for 260,000 gns at the sales last autumn. Half-brother to a couple of useful sprinters and is one to note on racecourse debut.

Struggled on both starts so far including on soft ground over 5f here on debut. Probably best watched at present.

Itizzit¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: E Stanford

100/1

Veered right and unseated her rider on exiting the stalls when making her debut at Newmarket last month. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Blonde Warrior (4/9), Ustath (11/4), Extreme Force (5/1), First Thought (14/1), Badger Berry (16/1), Fares Alpha (25/1), White Iverson (33/1), Itizzit (100/1), Windy Guest (100/1)

BLONDE WARRIOR impressed in finishing runner-up at Newbury on debut last month and he is taken to go one better in this two-year-old contest. The selection should have improved for the experience and he can see off Extreme Force who hails from a top yard and is making his debut here. Ustath was an expensive purchase at the sales last year and can finish third on debut.
