Annecy⁸⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock| D

14/1

Pleasing winner of Lingfield maiden on debut over 7f but failed to build on that in subsequent eighth over same C&D under a penalty which she also carries here. Better than last run for sure but penalty makes life tough.

Form: 18

Agent Basterfield²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

5/1

Kept on into a remote 11L fourth here latest in his second start which was an improved effort over 1m. Drop back in trip therefore a little puzzling and leaves him with a good bit to find.

Form: 04

Gin Palace³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

25/1

Sixth on debut at Windsor and fifth subsequently here both over 1m. Drop in trip may suit well enough but more required and draw a negative.

Form: 65

Little Rock¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

9/1

Midfield debut here over 1m but wide draw there was a negative and now switches to opposite side which should help. Good bit of improvement required but a few reasons to expect it.

Form: 7

Rusper's Gift²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne

50/1

Never nearer ninth of 12 on debut at Chelmsford over 7f three weeks ago. More needed although should see some improvement today.

Anglesey Penny²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Danny Brock| T: J R Jenkins

125/1

125/1 and only beat one home on C&D debut three weeks ago. Early days but very hard to have any confidence here.

Form: 0

Carnival Rose⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe

10/11

Fourth of 12 on C&D debut and only beaten 1½L despite not getting a clear run where it mattered. Sure to improve and rates a leading contender here now.

Form: 4

Crakadawn²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Joey Haynes| T: P Howling

66/1

Too keen and paid the price on debut at Chelmsford over 1m where she was last of nine beaten 28L. Experience and drop in trip hopefully help but can't have any confidence here.

Form: 9

Croqueta⁹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

16/1

Beaten 7½L into fourth of seven on debut at Chelmsford in September (6f). More needed but should enjoy extra 1f and experience should also bring her on.

Form: 4

Forthwith

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll

50/1

One of two newcomers is a daughter of Footstepsinthesand out of a 6f two-year-old winner. Speedy pedigree but runners from this yard often need first run.

Sadlers Beach¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Nicola Currie| T: M P Tregoning

50/1

Too keen on debut her two weeks ago when she faded into ninth of 12. Will have to have improved quite dramatically to take a hand here.

Form: 9

(13)

Sea of Reality

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

5/1

Newcomer by Born To Sea is a sister to a 7f two-year-old winner out of a Group Three 6f-7f winner. Represents powerful yard with an exceptional record on AW so every chance she is up to this test.

Forecasts

Carnival Rose (10/11), Agent Basterfield (5/1), Sea of Reality (5/1), Just Later (7/1), Little Rock (9/1), Annecy (14/1), Croqueta (16/1), Miss Pollyanna (20/1), Gin Palace (25/1), Rusper's Gift (50/1), Sadlers Beach (50/1), Forthwith (50/1), Crakadawn (66/1), Anglesey Penny (125/1)

William Haggas has a fantastic record on this surface including with two-year-olds and his SEA OF REALITY is worth chancing on debut in what is an ordinary enough contest. Carnival Rose rates the biggest danger after a solid C&D fourth on debut. Annecy has a penalty to overcome but should still be thereabouts with many of these looking likely to need more time to get the hang of things.
