Aussie View¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-13| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 82| D

5/2

Has already seen plenty of action and won a Doncaster novice event (7f, good to firm) last month. Ran well under a penalty at Carlisle last time and if she can eek out a bit more, then she should go close on her nursery debut.

Form: 42192

Jfoul¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: K Stott| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 79| D

13/8

Has shown promise in three starts and scored on AW at Chelmsford when upped to this trip last time. Initial mark will require a little bit of improvement, but that is possible. Claims.

Form: 551

Amadeus Grey^t1¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76

11/2

Went close in successive novice auction events at Wetherby and Newcastle last month. Below that form at Ayr last time. Initial mark will need a better effort than that to be defied.

Form: 6225

Immokalee¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76

16/1

Best effort so far was on debut at Beverley (5f, good) in April. Below that level over 6f on both subsequent starts. Another whose initial mark will demand some improvement, but not ruled out.

Form: 366

Minas Gerais^p¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 70

25/1

Ran well over 5f at Beverley (good to firm) in May. Reasonable effort in a York seller since then. Well held over this trip at Wolverhampton last time, but improved needed on nursery debut.

Form: 73844

Ventura Bay²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

14/1

Improved on his first three starts, showing promise at Chester (6f, good to firm) last month. Well below that level on nursery debut last time out at Haydock. 2lb rise since, but not ruled out if he can bounce back.

Form: 8337

(4)

Fast Endeavour²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: M L W Bell| OR: 61

8/1

Has been building steadily in her three novice runs. Step up to 7f should suit, while this initial mark looks to be a workable one. Claims.

Form: 636

(3)

Jazz Hands²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 58

40/1

Well held in all three starts. Initial mark looks stiff for turf/nursery debut. Others make more appeal.

Form: 686

Forecasts

Jfoul (13/8), Aussie View (5/2), Amadeus Grey (11/2), Fast Endeavour (8/1), Ventura Bay (14/1), Immokalee (16/1), Minas Gerais (25/1), Jazz Hands (40/1)

A tricky race to call as plenty of them make their nursery debuts and are, of course, unexposed. Aussie View, Jfoul, Amadeus Grey and Ventura Bay all make some appeal, but this could be a good opportunity for FAST ENDEAVOUR to break her duck.
