Ventura Ocean²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 88

11/4

6f Pontefract winner whose best effort was over this trip in the Acomb at York. Looks a likely player back in this sphere.

Form: 22177

Major Snugfit¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| D

14/1

Showed nothing on debut but sprang a 50-1 surprise at Beverley last time. Clearly not written off, but will need significant further improvement to defy a penalty in this field.

Form: 51

(5)

Agravain¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby

100/1

Well held in both starts and is bred to do better over further/with age. Best watched.

Form: 79

(4)

Awe¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: W J Haggas

5/2

5-1 on debut, when racing freely and beaten 3L at Yarmouth (7f). That was not a bad effort considering and if he can settle better this time, he could have a much bigger say.

Form: 7

(10)

Gates Of Horn¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine

100/1

Improved from first run to second, but looks more of a longer tern prospect than one for today.

Form: 67

(12)

Gordalan

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison

40/1

£14,500 vendor buy-back at a yearling, Seventh foal. Half-brother to four winners, out of an unraced half-sister to French 1m3f winner Private Party. Nice enough pedigree but unlikely to strike on debut.

(3)

Moonlight Escapade¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

66/1

Debut was better than his more recent effort and neither looks good enough to be winning this.

Form: 77

(6)

Navajo Pass

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: D McCain Jnr

25/1

68,000gns yearling. Dam a 1m3f winner. Likely to do better with age and over further.

Form:

(8)

Snow Storm¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: S bin Suroor

11/8

10-1 on debut, when 2L fifth at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm). Should improve for that experience and is a likely player in this field.

Form: 5

(11)

The Rutland Rebel

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: Micky Hammond

40/1

€18,000 foal, 6,500gns yearling, £20,000 at two. Third foal. Dam unraced sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner/Oaks third Pictavia. Yard not known for regular two-year-old successes. Probably best watched on debut.

Lakme^p³⁵

125/1

Tailed off in novice events at Carlisle and Beverley. Readily opposed.

Forecasts

Snow Storm (11/8), Awe (5/2), Ventura Ocean (11/4), Reeves (3/1), Major Snugfit (14/1), Navajo Pass (25/1), Gordalan (40/1), The Rutland Rebel (40/1), Moonlight Escapade (66/1), Gates Of Horn (100/1), Agravain (100/1), Lakme (125/1)

A race thin on serious competitors and VENTURA OCEAN is taken to confirm that he is the class act in the line-up on what we have seen so far. Snow Storm can improve for his debut and take a hand, with Reeves and Awe two other likely candidates.
