Absolutio

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

9/1

Kendargent colt who's price rose from €72,000 as a yearling to 100,000 gns as a two-year-old. Brother to useful French sprinter Largent Du Bonheur. Dam was a winner up to 1m2½f is France including as a two-year-old. Interesting on paper.

Agravain¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

25/1

Fourth foal, half-brother to the useful Raven's Lady (G2 winner in Germany, G3 at York) . Last of seven on heavy ground at Carlisle on debut and should do better.

Form: 7

(11)

Barbarosa¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: B J Meehan

7/1

A €78,000 yearling by Holy Roman Emperor out of a 10½ AW-winning dam. Improved effort on second start when a remote second. Should have more to come but that needs improving on.

Form: 72

(5)

Edgewood⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: J D Bethell

7/2

Dam 7f 2yo winner, full-sister to four winners up to 7f. Debut effort at Leicester (7f, good) was only fair and needs to step up on that significantly to be involved here.

Form: 5

(1)

Hypnos²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock

8/1

Shaped with promise on two starts so far over further. Not sure this drop back in trip is what is required and every chance he'll be more suited to handicaps on the back of this.

Form: 84

(10)

Klipperty Klopp⁹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain

100/1

Well held on both starts so far and would need major improvement to be involved here. Handicaps more suitable after this.

Form: 88

(8)

Ride The Monkey

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

25/1

Bungle Inthejungle gelding who's price dropped to just €15,000 as a yearling. Dam unraced half-sister to winners over 5f and 1m. Market probably best guide on debut.

Form:

(3)

Show Of Strength^h¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson

4/1

Cost a fair bit at £125,000 but has shaped on both starts so far that he is going to need further. Outpaced on both occasions and may be seen to better effect over further when tackling handicaps.

Form: 67

(4)

Stylish Motion²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas

9/4

By Zoffany out of a half-sister to smart 1m/1m1f winner Mutahadee, herself out of unraced half-sister to French Group 1 winners Muncie and Mersey. Behind and always outpaced on debut. Needs plenty more.

Form: 7

(12)

Tilmeeth

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

11/1

Well bred son of Kodiac who's price rose from €72,000 to 150,000 gns. Stable having an excellent season with their two-year-olds and likely to know his job here on debut. Very interesting on debut.

(13)

Laura Louise³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: N Tinkler

100/1

Weak efforts and green at times over 6f and 1m on first two starts. Needs much more to be involved at the finish here.

Form: 77

Forecasts

Stylish Motion (9/4), Gleeful (3/1), Edgewood (7/2), Show Of Strength (4/1), Barbarosa (7/1), Hypnos (8/1), Absolutio (9/1), Tilmeeth (11/1), Ride The Monkey (25/1), Agravain (25/1), Society Girl (50/1), Klipperty Klopp (100/1), Laura Louise (100/1)

Those that have experience haven't set the world alight so far and there is a good chance that this could go to a newcomer. Barbarosa just about sets the standard on his second at Brighton last time but that is not a high standard to aim at. Both Absolutio and TILMEETH make plenty of appeal on debut. Preference is for the latter who has a nice middle-distance pedigree and his price doubled on purchase as a yearling. The son of Kodiac should know his job on debut and can make a winning start.
