25/1

Society Rock gelding. Half-brother to 1m½f winner Perfect Soldier. Market should reveal plenty on first start.

Bacchalot¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| BF

9/2

Came in for market support on second outing at Chepstow (6f, good to firm; 3-1jf) though only managed fourth of nine, beaten 3L. Should have more to offer and can be in the shake-up.

Form: 84

Faldetta¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

9/4

Should have learned plenty from Chepstow debut (6f, good to firm; 12-1) when getting behind early and not enjoying best run through. Finished third and had 2L to spare on Bacchalot (fourth). Big chance.

Form: 3

My Motivate Girl^v¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson

8/11

Getting strong the further they raced over 5f (good to firm; 7-1) on recent debut at Leicester. Entitled to build on that third-place finish and go close now.

Form: 3

Forecasts

My Motivate Girl (8/11), Faldetta (9/4), Bacchalot (9/2), Moontide (25/1)

My Motivate Girl ran well on debut at Leicester and should have plenty to offer over this additional furlong but FALDETTA also showed plenty promise at Chepstow on debut, despite a slow beginning and some traffic problems in the run. She should have learned plenty for that experience and can make it count. Bacchalot was 2L behind the selection that day and is in the mix again.
