Firewater¹⁶

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

11/2

Monsieur Bond colt who has been noted making late headway on both starts to date, latest at Hamilton. Seems to be getting the hang of racing, and better to come in due course.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Lemos De Souza| T: Miss A Murphy

25/1

Coach House filly who showed a glimmer of promise starting out at Yarmouth in April, but hasn't gone on in two runs since, and easy enough to oppose now.

Spirit Of Lund

T: I Jardine J: M Dwyer

Forecasts

Jungle Juice (11/10), Izvestia (7/2), Firewater (11/2), Amadeus Grey (6/1), Spirit Of Lund (16/1), Islay Mist (25/1), Castelo (25/1), You Little Beauty (25/1)

JUNGLE JUICE finished well when just beaten over six furlongs at Goodwood, and should find this trip within her compass. She will be hard to beat if reproducing that form, and gets the nod over Izvestia and Amadeus Grey, both of whom shaped with promise starting out at Lingfield and York respectively.
