Lexington Palm³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish

13/2

Showed little on debut in far from ideal conditions at Ayr but showed true ability when scoring over 6f at Catterick at 28/1. Looked to appreciate the extra 1f there and, presuming she handles AW, should go well again.

Form: 71

(7)

Roll Up Roll Up^p1⁸⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 56

33/1

Has finished in the rear on all three starts and needs to improve significantly on AW debut as the weights set him a stiff task.

Form: 347

(4)

Tucson²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: J D Bethell

7/1

Lawman colt cost 25,000 gns yearling and is a half-brother to high-class 6f-1m2f winner Librisa Breeze. Never a factor having been slowly away on debut but stable can pop one in at a decent price and not easily discounted.

Form: 7

(10)

Island Glen¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: H Main

10/3

Stable 2-58 with this age group since 2014, but that includes a winner here on Wednesday who also arrived via a prior run at Newbury.

Form: 0

Kilburn Jerry

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby

33/1

€13,500 purchase as a yearling by Dandy Man out of a French stayer. Stable 0-41 with juveniles here since 2014.

Form:

Killer Move¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Shane Gray| T: Ollie Pears

100/1

Relatively cheap purchase who has been beaten an aggregate of 45L in his two starts to date. Looks easy to discount.

Form: 06

(6)

Ritchie Star⁸³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam

50/1

Cost £6,500 as a yearling and was never involved at long odds on debut. Hard to make case for at present.

Form: 7

(8)

Cheap Jack²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Robbie Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: Ronald Thompson

150/1

Cost just £800 and makes limited appeal on pedigree. Debut effort revealed little and he looks out of his depth.

Form: 9

(3)

Arms Of The Angel²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

2/1

€10,000 yearling; third foal; half-sister to a couple of winners including one-time stablemate Golden Jeffrey. Bred to want further and that the indication from her first two starts, but drops a furlong for this.

Form: 35

(1)

Queen Of Scheme³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 65| D

10/3

Foiled a gambled on favourite last time in a Wolverhampton seller. Up in class here but has a lot going for her at the weights in a weak novice event.

Form: 03251

Forecasts

Arms Of The Angel (2/1), Island Glen (10/3), Queen Of Scheme (10/3), Lexington Palm (13/2), Tucson (7/1), Kilburn Jerry (33/1), Roll Up Roll Up (33/1), Ritchie Star (50/1), Killer Move (100/1), Cheap Jack (150/1)

This will take little winning. The weights favour Arms Of The Angel and QUEEN OF SCHEME with the latter looking the one most likely to be suited by this trip. It was only a seller she landed last time but she clocked the best speed figure any of these has achieved in doing so and she is hard to oppose in receipt of all the allowances. Lexington Palm was a surprise winner last time but the form gives her a lot to do on today's terms. Tucson was not totally unfancied on debut but failed to deliver after a slow start on soft ground. It would come as little surprise if he showed a lot more in this company.
