Capitan James^p⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: I Jardine| OR: 63

7/2

Ran much better in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on handicap debut and now dropped back in grade. Shaped again as though this extra furlong will suit and well treated on these terms.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler

10/1

By Canford Cliffs out of a Kheleyf mare. Not fancied on debut and was always out the back in a valuable seller. Easy to overlook based on that performance.

Bandola¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: A Mullen| T: M Dods| OR: 58

9/2

Shaped well enough on handicap debut but didn't seem to see out the 7f last time when dropped to this grade. Touch more required but the return to this trip will help.

Form: 65454

Pair of Savannas²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey

9/1

£10,500 yearling; sister to 6f AW winner Don't Blame Me. Never involved on debut but was making progress when hampered in this grade on her second start. Needs to find more on these terms but stable has won this race twice in the last seven years.

Form: 87

Red Flower^h1¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Nathan Evans| T: M R Channon

5/2

Bungle Inthejungle filly purchased for 8,5000 gns as a yearling and wasn't disgraced on debut following a slow start. Concern she is dropped so quickly to this grade plus the addition of first-time headgear.

Form: 7

Rock Party¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 61

3/1

Has looked better suited by 5f so far but would be a leading contender based on her second start. Has taken backwards steps in two runs since and now drops in grade from handicap company.

Forecasts

Red Flower (5/2), Rock Party (3/1), Capitan James (7/2), Bandola (9/2), Pair of Savannas (9/1), Notthewhitehart (10/1)

A typically tricky race at this level but unlike most of his rivals CAPITAN JAMES is at least dropping down to this grade off the back of a more encouraging run. The step up in trip may suit him more than Rock Party who needs to bounce back after a poor run in handicap company. Bandola is coming back in distance but that should also suit however the main danger looks to be Pair Of Savannas who was starting to get the hang of things when meeting interference on her second start and was quickly eased.
