Broken Spear^p³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Jamie Spencer| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 89| BF| D

4/1

Gained a first win on return from a short break at Thirsk last month and not disgraced when runner-up at Chelmsford subsequently. Perhaps vulnerable to less exposed types.

Fastman¹²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| D

9/2

Elzaam colt, cost £25,000 as a yearling. Dam a half-sister to a US Grade 2 winner. Impressive when winning on debut and the third in behind that day has been a prolific winner since. May be capable of better and extra ½f should suit.

Form: 1

Metallic Black³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

5/1

Winner on debut at Pontefract but couldn't back that up at Haydock next time when only fourth. Needs to improve on that to play a part here down in trip.

Form: 14

(3)

Baldwin¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 74| BF

9/1

Placed over C&D on debut but hasn't really built on that in three subsequent starts and well beaten at Southwell when last seen. Needs to improve plenty to play a part here.

Form: 3734

(8)

Dream of Honour¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77

5/1

Ran with plenty of credit on his first three starts that included a C&D effort. Not at his best in a valuable sales race here last time but he's better than that and isn't without place claims.

Form: 3220

Joey Boy²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan

25/1

Well beaten on both starts to date and second string on jockey bookings here. Drops in trip and hard to imagine him playing a part.

Form: 68

Three Card Trick³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 79| BF

11/4

Placed over 6f here on debut but has failed to justify favouritism twice since and this is a tougher race. Others preferred.

Form: 224

Out Of Angels²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: J G Given

33/1

Showed very little on debut at Beverley but put up a slightly better effort next time out at Wolverhampton. Needs more to play a part here but drop back in trip may see her to better effect.

Forecasts

Three Card Trick (11/4), Mutawaffer (3/1), Broken Spear (4/1), Fastman (9/2), Little Legs (9/2), Dream of Honour (5/1), Metallic Black (5/1), Baldwin (9/1), Joey Boy (25/1), Rock Party (25/1), Out Of Angels (33/1)

LITTLE LEGS wasn't seen to best effect last time out when made to race alone but it would be no surprise to see her bounce back from that effort here. Fastman has been given a break since his impressive debut success and should go well again while Dream Of Honour may be able to bounce back from his poor run in the sales race here last time.
