Capala¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Fahy| T: A West

12/1

Some promise on debut at Chelmsford but faded fast at Kempton last time. Drop back in trip looks right move but needs to raise his game to trouble the judge.

Form: 48

Concierge²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: George Scott

1/1

£60,000 Society Rock gelding made a good start when third here over 6f, showing plenty of dash. Back to minimum trip now and looks set to run a good race under top jockey.

Form: 3

Sassoon

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole

25/1

Poet's Voice colt out of dam who has produced winners at up to two miles. Makes racecourse debut here and may find this sharp enough on pedigree but market should be worth a glance.

Sussex Solo²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: L A Dace

9/1

Fourth of 16 on debut but has five lengths to find with Concierge on running that day so needs to find some serious improvement to turn the form around.

Form: 4

Swiss Pride¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hughes| OR: 78

9/4

Three runs to date and went close on second attempt when narrowly beaten at Chelmsford. Faded final furlong last time over six so drop back makes sense.

Athena Star

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: J S Moore

50/1

War Command filly who is half-sister to three decent winners. Makes racecourse debut here and holds no fancy entries but certainly worth a glance for any market interest.

Form:

(4)

Melya

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: P & O Cole

12/1

Has a speedy pedigree being a daughter of Equiano out of a 5f winner. Sharper sort on the face of it than stable's other runner, Sassoon, and may well be ready to give a good account of herself on debut.

Form:

(5)

Superstition¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore

16/1

All at sea on debut at Sandown but did better last time when third at Lingfield over this trip in ordinary event. May do better when tackling nursery handicaps.

Form: 03

Forecasts

Concierge (1/1), Swiss Pride (9/4), Sussex Solo (9/1), Capala (12/1), Melya (12/1), Superstition (16/1), Sassoon (25/1), Athena Star (50/1)

CONCIERGE showed plenty of dash when a good third on debut over six furlongs and this drop back in trip looks tailor-made. Sussex Solo was a place back that day but has five lengths to find and that looks a tough task. Swiss Pride is respected for a yard that does well here, while newcoers Melya and Athena Star are worth monitoring for any interest in the betting markets.
