Autonomy⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

16/1

Son of Dansili purchased for 75,000 gns. Half-brother to Derby winner Authorized but failed to show much on debut and he looks another long term project for the yard.

Form: 9

(12)

Awa Bomba

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M Stainton| T: D H Brown

100/1

3,000 gns foal by Heeraat and half-brother to two minor winners. Makes little appeal on pedigree and yard 0-17 with this age group in 2018.

Fame N Fortune

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: D Loughnane

6/1

Thewayyouare gelding out of an unraced mare related to winners across Europe. Yard 6-78 with this age group in past five years.

Havana Sunset²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: M Murphy

28/1

Gelded son of Havana Gold who is a half-brother to a 7f AW winner. Has not shown enough in either start to warrant consideration.

Form: 87

(8)

Seven For A Pound³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

13/2

£95,000 son of Scat Daddy out of a US 6f dirt winner. Has shown little in two runs but has needed the experience and the switch to this surface may reveal untapped potential.

Form: 55

(2)

Trolius

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford

7/4

Cape Cross gelding out of a well-related mare. Bought for 32,000 gns and hails from an in-form yard and the market will be informative.

(10)

What Will Be

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Keniry| T: O Murphy

22/1

Unraced Thewayyouare gelding. Plenty of winners in the pedigree, notably Salouen, but all have needed much further than this.

Form:

(9)

Lady Monica

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R Ffrench| T: J R Holt

100/1

Bated Breath filly bought for just 2,500 gns and related to a couple of minor winners. Stable 0-24 with juveniles over the past five years.

Form:

(6)

Liam's Lass

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mrs P Sly

14/1

Dandy Man half-sister to 7f-1m winner Barford. Debuts for a trainer with a 7-173 career record with this age group.

Form:

(7)

Shescominghome²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans

66/1

£19,000 (not sold) yearling. Half-sister to 7f turf (at two)/1m AW winner Felisa. Dam 5f-6f AW winner (at two). Last of 16 on turf debut and clearly needs to come on a great deal for the experience and the switch of surface.

Form: 0

Ventura Island¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon

28/1

Le Havre half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Action Parfaite. Represents a powerful yard, but showed very little on both starts.

Form: 80

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 25p in the pound

Metatron

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

T: Tom Dascombe J: R Kingscote

Forecasts

Trolius (7/4), Metatron (7/2), Fame N Fortune (6/1), Seven For A Pound (13/2), Liam's Lass (14/1), Autonomy (16/1), What Will Be (22/1), Havana Sunset (28/1), Ventura Island (28/1), Shescominghome (66/1), Awa Bomba (100/1), Lady Monica (100/1)

Those to have raced set a modest standard and this can go to one of the newcomers. METATRON represents a stable who have had a good year with this age group and gets the vote ahead of Trollius who makes appeal on pedigree. Seven For A Pound is a potential improver on this surface, whilst Authorized's half-brother, Autonomy, can only improve on an inauspicious debut.
