Aljady²³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: G Lee| T: R A Fahey| CD

5/2

Bated Breath colt from a good family, and defied inexperience when winning a C&D novice from Scenic River in October. Sure to go on to better things, and place claims at least here.

Form: 1-

(6)

Boundary Lane³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: M Dods| D

10/1

Mayson filly from family of 2000 Guineas runner-up Enrique. Unfancied, but came out best in a 6f novice at Ayr on last month's debut. Form of that race not working out, but she should improve.

Form: 1

Worship²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock| OR: 100| D

4/7

Winner of minor event at Kempton on sole two-year-old outing, and much improved when mid-field in 1000 Guineas in May. Bit below that form in listed race last time, but still sets a strong standard.

Form: 1-88

(2)

Ginger Jam

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler

14/1

Gelded son of Major Cadeaux out of a 5f/6f winner. Dam's previous foals have failed to shine, however, and he looks to face a stiff introduction.

Form:

(1)

Mountain Of Stars²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mathers| T: Suzzanne France

66/1

Bred along successful sprinting lines, but beaten a long way at big odds in two starts to date, and looks very limited.

Form: 60

(5)

Darling Darcy^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine

20/1

£36,000 half-brother to several winners including the useful Justonefortheroad. Hooded for debut and looked green, but showed ability when fifth of 10 at Wolverhampton. Plenty more required, however.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Worship (4/7), Aljady (5/2), Boundary Lane (10/1), Ginger Jam (14/1), Darling Darcy (20/1), Mountain Of Stars (66/1)

It's possible that her eighth behind Billesdon Brook in the 1000 Guineas is flattering, but even the bare form of a similar placing in listed company last time gives WORSHIP a definite edge, and she should record the second win of her career. Aljady and Boundary Lane are both unbeaten, but the former's win here is the more solid form, and he looks the best forecast option.
