Newyorkstateofmind

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir

7/2

18,000 gns yearling. Fourth foal, half-brother to 6f winner Restless Rose. Dam won at this trip. First juvenile runner of the season for trainer.

Form:

(6)

Champagne Highlife¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

7/2

Prominent in the betting on both starts and having led, it didn't look like he got home at 6f last time. May be able to bag the rails with his experience which would be a plus.

Form: 46

(4)

Knockacurra

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: D M Loughnane

20/1

£8,000 two-year-old. First foal and dam won over 6f as a juvenile. Stable not associated with debut winners though some interest on jockey booking.

Form:

(3)

Luscifer

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

20/1

Brother to two winners from 6f to 1m4f. Dam maiden who was placed at 6f. Yrd 0-14 with juveniles this term.

Form:

(9)

Ocasio Cortez¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

7/4

Improved effort back down to this trip when third at Windsor last time. That was an improvement and probably represents the best form to date though hardly a high standard.

Form: 463

(2)

Lexi The One³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey

18/1

Missed break in conditions event at Chester on second start and not disgraced in the circumstances. This much weaker and has to be respected though wide draw not ideal.

Form: 67

(5)

Microscopic¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Nicola Currie| T: D M Simcock

6/1

Similar level of ability both starts on varying ground. Well backed when trying 6f last time and quickly back down to the minimum now. Yard among the winners.

Form: 45

(1)

Epsom Faithfull

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: F Sweeney| T: P Phelan

50/1

£3,500 yearling. Third foal, half-sister to two sprint winners and dam won as a juvenile so worth keeping an eye on in market.

Form:

(8)

Santorini Sal¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: J J Bridger

16/1

11l fifth on Windsor debut last month. Started 100/1 that day so ran as well as could be expected and could be more to come due to the fact she was a touch green.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Ocasio Cortez (7/4), Newyorkstateofmind (7/2), Champagne Highlife (7/2), Microscopic (6/1), Santorini Sal (16/1), Lexi The One (18/1), Luscifer (20/1), Knockacurra (20/1), Epsom Faithfull (50/1)

In a weak contest any confidence in the newcomers would have to be of interest but of those with experience OCASIO CORTEZ from the plum rails draw may be able to repel Champagne Highlife with Lexi The One of interest having found a conditions race at Chester last month too much.
