Equal Sum¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

7/2

Paco Boy filly out of a winning sister to Oaks second Flight Of Fancy, herself out of Ribblesdale winner Phantom Gold. Made a winning debut at Wolverhampton recently, and while she knew her job there, she still ought to improve and is respected.

Form: 1

Biz Markee⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: H Palmer

10/1

Gelded son of Slade Power who didn't show much after a slow start at Kempton last week, and is probably one for the longer term if anything.

Form: 0

Ede's³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan

66/1

Imaginatively named gelding who showed a glimmer of ability on debut at Newbury, but failed to match let alone better than last time, and is of limited interest at this level.

Form: 00

(7)

Jungle Warfare¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon

50/1

Son of Bungle Inthejungle who fetched £56,000 as a yearling, but showed next to nothing on debut at Wolverhampton early this month. In good hands, but no appeal after that discouraging start.

Martin King

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

3/1

210,000 gns purchase out of a US Grade 1 winner. Half-brother Dream Warrior won a maiden last year but failed to progress. Three of yard's first four juvenile runners this year won on debut, but none have done so since.

Mosakhar¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian

9/4

Out of a half-sister to classy performer Arcano. Shaped pretty well when 4L fourth of 10 to Almashriq in 7f novice at Newcastle on debut, and sure to improve on that with benefit of experience.

Form: 4

Supreme Chance³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: F Sweeney| T: M Blanshard

100/1

Homebred son of Delegator who has been soundly beaten on both starts to date. Low-grade handicaps beckon after this.

Form: 00

(3)

Alandalos

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Hills

20/1

By Invincible Spirit out of 1000 Guineas heroine Ghanaati, and related to several winners including smart miler Afaak. Yard has a modest record first time up, but this well-bred filly does take the eye on pedigree, so needs a market check.

Entitle¹⁷⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

6/1

Dansili half-sister to outstanding filly Enable. In need of experience when sixth of 8 to Neverland Rock in a Newmarket novice which has worked out well, and much better expected with benefit of experience.

Form: 6

(9)

Loch Lady²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S Donohoe| T: R M Beckett

33/1

Camelot half-sister to four winners including smart miler Highland Knight. Looked clueless when tenth of 11 to Manorah in a 1m novice at Kempton on debut, and sure to do much better somewhere down the line.

Form: 0

(5)

Vegatina^t1

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden

14/1

Lope de Vega filly who cost 220,000 gns as a yearling, and one of a trio for top yard here. Fitting of a tongue tie for debut tempers confidence, but market will help establish her place in the pecking order.

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Mosakhar (9/4), Martin King (3/1), Equal Sum (7/2), Entitle (6/1), Biz Markee (10/1), Royal Family (12/1), Vegatina (14/1), Alandalos (20/1), Loch Lady (33/1), Jungle Warfare (50/1), Ede's (66/1), Supreme Chance (100/1)

Equal Sum is respected under a penalty for her debut success, but is vulnerable to an improver, and MOSAKHAR fits the bill having looked to be learning on the job at Newcastle on his first attempt. Entitle didn't live up to her stellar pedigree on debut, but this half-sister to Enable is worth another chance, and also makes the shortlist.
