Courageux³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: M Botti

7/2

Son of Sepoy and a half-sister to three Listed winners. Slowly away before good late progress on debut. Bit to find off these terms but improvement likely as he moves up in distance.

Form: 6

So Hi Class^b⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: M Botti| OR: 74| D

7/2

Consistent level of form in last three starts when winning at Kempton before a luckless second over a mile here and a close fourth at Lingfield. Should be involved again.

Whenapoet²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 64

20/1

Failed to progress on his first three starts when disappointing on handicap debut at Yarmouth. Much more required off these terms.

Form: 6743

Nakakande¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 73

3/1

Yet to add to sole win for former trainer but following a disappointing run over a mile was better back at 6f last time. Still a question over this trip but weighted to be competitive.

Form: 523565

So Hi Storm²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: K R Burke| OR: 62

5/1

Seven-race maiden who had ground excuses at Carlisle but has still proved disappointing the last twice. Better suited by this trip but others more persuasive.

Form: 473335

Uncle Jerry²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 67

14/1

Plenty of promise when second at Wolverhampton but has been well below that level the last twice. Needs to bounce back and stamina to prove.

Form: 63286

The Galla Girl^h¹⁹

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

28/1

Sprang a surprise at long odds when running on well to win a seller on her second start. Progress to come over this trip but improvement required in this company.

Form: 81

(8)

Society Shock¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 69

14/1

Has failed to progress since winning his second start but was much better following two poor runs when fourth to The Galla Girl in selling company. Gets a massive pull at the weights and should go close.

The Meter^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Moubarak

66/1

Doesn't catch the eye on breeding and starts life in claiming company and in a first-time hood. Best watched on debut.

Amoreena¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: L Morris| T: Tom Clover| OR: 64

8/1

Six-race maiden but ran up to her best when a close third in handicap company at Wolverhampton. Should be more to come when she settles better and should be involved on these terms.

Form: 625653

Forecasts

Nakakande (3/1), Courageux (7/2), So Hi Class (7/2), So Hi Storm (5/1), Amoreena (8/1), Uncle Jerry (14/1), Society Shock (14/1), Whenapoet (20/1), The Galla Girl (28/1), The Meter (66/1)

Nakakande represents last year's winning stable but others are more convincing at the trip and preference is for her stablemate SOCIETY SHOCK who is well in in off these terms and was much better last start. Amoreena rates a clear danger after a decent third on her first try at this distance. So Hi Class should be better suited by the drop back of a furlong and is in good enough form to go close.
