Sunsprite⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: R Hughes| OR: 89| D

3/1

Cost £125,000 at the breeze-ups and has recorded back-to-back wins, including when making all over 6f at Salisbury (good to firm) last month under a penalty (third has won since). Gives weight to all but this Gimcrack entry has leading claims.

Gabrial The Wire⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 86| BF| C

5/1

Had all four races here winning once. Disappointing fourth of five latest as 8/11 fav hard to fathom but quick turnaround suggests all is well. Chance at the weights if he bounces back given his course experience.

Form: 2214

Finoah³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 82

11/2

Still a maiden but placed in each of his last four outings including one here over 5f. More needed here against past winners but will likely run his usual solid race.

Form: 63233

Justice Shallow⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Nathan Evans| T: A Berry

66/1

Tailed off on debut her before a distant 14L second of four last week at Pontefract. Hard to envisage him playing any part in this.

Form: 62

(3)

Rockin Roy⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson| OR: 91| D

10/11

Six races so far have yielded three wins and the only time he didn't make the first two was in an Ascot Listed race. Won last two races at odds-on and in receipt of 7lb from his main rival he surely has an excellent chance.

Form: 122711

Forecasts

Rockin Roy (10/11), Sunsprite (3/1), Gabrial The Wire (5/1), Finoah (11/2), Justice Shallow (66/1)

ROCKIN ROY is clearly a very precocious two-year-old with this already his seventh race. He looks the one to beat in receipt of 7lb from his main rival Sunsprite, himself a dual winner. Gabrial The Wire has the benefit of significant course experience but underperformed latest and in any case more would be required here.
