Freed From Desire⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 68

10/1

Left her first two career starts behind when belying odds of 20/1 to win at Redcar last time out. There's a suspicion she will prove vulnerable here under a penalty though.

Form: 361

(3)

Jazz Hands²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: R A Fahey

25/1

Well beaten in two starts here and still showed signs of inexperience last time out when eighth of 10. May do better when switched to handicaps over a bit further.

Form: 68

(8)

The Grey Zebedee^b⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

33/1

Improved from his debut here when very green to finish sixth of 14 at Ripon last time out. Speedily bred so may improve back in trip here.

Form: 06

(9)

Ventura Ocean¹⁵

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

4/9

Raven's Cross colt, cost 8,000 gns as a yearling and 85,000 gns as two-year-old. Only just touched off on debut at York and likely to improve for that experience. Seemingly first-string from trainer's trio of runners and could be hard to beat.

Form: 2

(4)

Little Legs²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison

9/1

Outran odds of 66/1 on debut over C&D. Form of that effort not done too many favours since but yard's runners usually improve for their debut and she's not without each-way claims with course experience on her side.

Form: 3

(7)

Pink Flamingo¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

6/1

Typically professional performance for this yard when making her debut at Wetherby and only finding one too good but struggled in a deeper race at York last time. Others preferred.

Form: 25

(6)

Sekoya⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: S Waugh

100/1

Showed nothing on debut when last of 13 at Redcar in a race won by Freed From Desire. Hard to see her getting close to reversing that form in a such a short time period.

Form: 0

(2)

Waterloo Dream

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke

14/1

Dream Ahead filly, cost €40,000 as a yearling. Dam a middle distance AW winner. Sister to a Group 3 winner and half-sister to a Group 2 winner over this trip as a juvenile. Yard have hit some form of late and certainly worth a market check here.

Zip⁵⁹

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

T: R A Fahey J: Fran Berry

Forecasts

Ventura Ocean (4/9), Pink Flamingo (6/1), Zip (8/1), Little Legs (9/1), Freed From Desire (10/1), Waterloo Dream (14/1), Jazz Hands (25/1), The Grey Zebedee (33/1), Sekoya (100/1)

VENTURA OCEAN is likely to prove hard to beat after an impressive debut at York last time and he would seemingly be the first string for Richard Fahey who saddles three runners. Stablemate Zip shaped with some promise last time out while Waterloo Dream isn't ruled out for a yard that do well with their juveniles.
