11/8

Broke his maiden at the fifth attempt when winning over 5f at Beverley last time. Didn't need to improve much to win there, but has been found another uncompetitive affair, and must be considered.

Dancing Rave¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| D

9/2

Cheap purchase who was off the mark at the first attempt at Beverley last month, and didn't get a clear run when only fifth to Packington Lane there last time. Should get closer, but penalty makes life tough.

Aloysius Lilius¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 73

9/4

Unable to match form of his second at Carlisle in May subsequently, but not discredited in a 6f nursery at Catterick last time, and receives weight from previous winners here. Drop in trip will suit, and can have no excuses.

14/1

First foal of a winning half-sister to connections' useful 7f-1m winner Sound Advice. Not overfaced on debut, and market will guide as to his chances.

Chances on penultimate third at Hamilton (6f) in July, but readily held on all other starts, and chances are that run flatters him to some degree.

Primeiro Boy¹⁶

12/1

Well behind Aloysius Lilius in Super Sprint at Newbury when both were down the pack, but bounced back when 3½L fifth of 8 to Mark's Choice in 6f nursery at Nottingham last time. Fair chance if building on that.

Forecasts

Packington Lane (11/8), Aloysius Lilius (9/4), Dancing Rave (9/2), Primeiro Boy (12/1), Friendly Advice (14/1), Jordan Electrics (22/1), Slieve Donard (50/1)

ALOYSIUS LILIUS hasn't quite lived up to expectations having run so well at Carlisle on his second start, but he's getting plenty of weight off Packington Lane, and that gives him every chance of getting his head in front. Primeiro Boy was behind the selection in the Super Sprint at Newbury, but ran well in a nursery at Nottingham last time, and can make the frame.
