All Good

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Tate| T: A Carson

40/1

Equiano fill that only cost 4,000 gns as a yearling. Taken a long time to get her to the track and is probably best watched here.

Bustam^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 75| BF

11/4

Remains a maiden after nine starts. Had one or two bits of nice form as a juvenile though and with the cheekpieces added is a major player back in a maiden.

Form: 345-350

(6)

Emphatic²³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 71

11/8

Ran well on his final two starts over C&D last year. Non-runner on Wednesday due to fast ground. Should be more to come this year and has sound claims.

Form: 032-

Final Go²⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: Grant Tuer

20/1

Half-brother to three winners including Desert Tempest a smart winner up to a mile with the dam a maiden. Beaten 7L on debut last year and needs to do more on first start for new yard today.

Form: 6-

Iron Sky¹⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: K Dalgleish

4/1

Cost €44,000 as a two-year-old with the dam a winner over a mile. Well beaten on the Fibresand over 7f at Southwell on debut. Should do better at some point and improvement to come.

Form: 7-

(4)

Invincible Pursuit⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mullineaux

125/1

Had a wind operation before making the racecourse and failed to beat a rival on debut when beaten 25L at Bath last week. Others preferred.

Form: 9

Pop Telecom

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey

5/1

Priced dropped from 18,000 gns as a foal to 5,000 gns as a yealing. Finjaan filly that is bred for speed and yard certainly know how to get one ready for debut. Market check needed.

Forecasts

Emphatic (11/8), Bustam (11/4), Iron Sky (4/1), Pop Telecom (5/1), Final Go (20/1), All Good (40/1), Invincible Pursuit (125/1)

Not the strongest of maidens to finish and this should be fought out between Bustam and EMPHATIC. The latter comes into this with far more potential to improve as a three-year-old and is taken to win the finale.
