Chasanda²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| D

11/2

Made a winning debut at Windsor in April and quite highly tried since. Fair fourth in Lily Agnes Stakes at Chester reads well and has fair prospects back at this level.

Form: 1440

Illusionist^b1²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| BF

8/11

£105,000 Hot Streak colt who has been runner-up on both starts to date, most recently finding Queen Mary Stakes hopeful Kemble too hot to handle at Windsor. Every chance if handling the forecast quick ground.

Form: 22

Red Sun

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills

11/2

45,000 guineas Gutaifan yearling out of dam who won as a juvenile. Yard in good from can get one ready on debut so certainly worth a market check.

Claudia Jean

4/1

87,000 guineas daughter of Camacho makes her racecourse bow here for yard who do so well with their juveniles. Half-sister to two winning juveniles so may be ready to do herself justice.

Forecasts

Illusionist (8/11), Cool Sphere (11/4), Claudia Jean (4/1), Red Sun (11/2), Chasanda (11/2)

There is some fair form in the book for the three experienced runners and the two debutantes could be decent so this may prove to be a good race. Narrow preference is for COOL SPHERE who showed ability when finding one too good on his racecourse bow and should have learned plenty for the experience. Illusionist has a similar profile and ran into a good one at Windsor last time, while previous winner Chasanda will apprecaite the slight ease in grade. Any good support for Red Sun or Claudio Jean should be heeded.
