Bugler Bob¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 75

5/2

In the frame in all three starts so far (6f, good to firm/soft), though his best effort was at this track on debut. Top pilot gets the leg-up here. Drops in trip. Should be thereabouts again.

Form: 233

Fitzy⁵⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Balding

66/1

Well held in first two starts for Ivan Furtado. Much more needed on debut for this trainer.

Form: 08

Mattymiller²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara

50/1

Has shown very little on both starts so far at Beverley and Catterick. Can only watch at this stage.

Form: 06

Serengeti Song¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke

8/15

Had made a promising start, going close at Hamilton and then improving on that at Haydock. Drops back to this stiff 5f and that could suits. Claims.

The Cotswold Wasp³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: J & S Quinn

14/1

20-1 and ran well enough for a long way until fading out of it at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) last month. Should be capable of better this time.

Form: 9

Champagne On Rocks⁷³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: B Haslam

100/1

Well held in both starts so far. Drops back to 5f for the first time, which could help, but plenty more needed.

Form: 87

Fairy Stories

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey

12/1

Full-sister to 6f/7f Fibresand winner Lord Oberon, half-sister to winners Medici Banchiere (5f at two) and Vimy Ridge (5f-6f inc at two). Dam 5f winning full-sister to 5f Listed winner Corrybrough. Speedy pedigree. Market check advised.

Red Saree^h²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: M Wigham

25/1

Well held at both Wolverhampton and Yarmouth last month, though the latter was an improved effort. Shaping as though she will be of more interest in nurseries.

Form: 80

Tweed Valley¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

12/1

Supported and 7-2 on debut, but beat just one home at Haydock (6f, soft). Conditions a possible excuse there. Now drops to stiff 5f and on a sound surface. Looks stable first string on jockey bookings. Interesting.

Forecasts

Serengeti Song (8/15), Bugler Bob (5/2), Fairy Stories (12/1), Tweed Valley (12/1), The Cotswold Wasp (14/1), Red Saree (25/1), Mattymiller (50/1), Fitzy (66/1), Champagne On Rocks (100/1)

Bugler Bob is interesting back here with Ryan Moore up and could go well, while it would be a surprise if Tweed Valley can't show us more of what appeared to be anticipated on her recent debut. However, SERENGETI SONG looks to be heading in the right direction and this stiff 5f looks like it could suit Karl Burke's colt, who gets the vote.
