Heer We Go Again^v1⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans

6/5

Won't lack for experience (had four races already); ran his best race last time (beaten short-head at Leicester). Often makes the running and this sharp 5f should suit with the visor going on first-time, bold show in the offing.

Form: 7322

Perregrin

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

8/1

15,000 guineas foal from a top-class yard who have already had first-time out juvenile winners this year (2-13). Dam juvenile 7f winner (half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Sharnberry); likely to be ready for this, worth a market check.

Elevate Her⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Nicola Currie| T: R Spencer

7/2

Price rose to £32,000 as a juvenile (Breeze-up purchase); speedily-bred sort who offered something to work on from her debut (5f, Southwell). Chased home two with far more experience on that occasion; can only improve from that experience.

Form: 3

Forced³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

3/1

Comes from a useful family; dam 6f winner, half-sister to 6f/7f winner Dutch Destiny out of 6f Listed winner. Easy to back on AW (Lingfield) debut; drawn wide and only showed some modest form (Heer We Go Again third); winner/second won again since.

Form: 4

(5)

Ride And Prejudice¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: Miss J Feilden

22/1

50-1 and finished last of five on debut but showed some ability on debut (in need of the experience). Yard not known for juvenile winners (only two in past five years); has some longer-term potential, may be one for nurseries in time.

Form: 5

(3)

Show Me Heaven²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan While⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner

25/1

On pedigree she looks a speedy sort but showed very little on her debut (apart from inexperience) to beat just one home at Newbury. Little to get excited about in that display; would need to take a big step forward to figure in this.

Form: 8

The standard in form and experience terms is set by Heer We Go Again but he might have missed his chance of winning a race for now with FORCED chosen to reverse her debut form with David Evans charge. The Richard Hughes yard have a poor record with their newcomers and the daughter of Lethal Force is expected to know more this time. The newcomer Perregrin comes from a stable that are no stranger to debut winner (have a decent record here) and he’s worth a second glance especially if the market vibes are positive. Elevate Her is another who should be able to step forward from her debut run without troubling the principals.
