Bezzas Lad⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 74

11/2

Gelded son of Society Rock improved from his debut to race to a similar standard the last twice. Better ground may help and another similar effort should see him involved.

Form: 923

Istanbul³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

5/2

Decent third behind a clear winner on debut over 6f at Ripon last month, when only losing second in the last strides. Some improvement needed but also likely and the drop in trip looks the right way to go for now.

Form: 3

(2)

Northern Celt

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

8/1

Son of Gutaifan and a first foal to a 5f winner; cost €8,000 as a foal and 28,000 gns as a yearling. Probably best watched on debut but worth a precautionary market check.

Form:

(1)

Point of Order

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: A Watson

3/1

Showcasing colt out of a 5f juvenile winner; a third foal who fetched 120,000 gns as a yearling and a half-brother to juvenile sprint winner Praxidice. A lot to like on breeding and interesting on debut for a stable doing well with their juveniles.

Rapid Russo

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: M Dods

12/1

Son of Coach House and a first foal to an unraced dam. Stable has been successful with just two of their juveniles this campaign and best watched on debut.

Form:

Speedymining

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: B Smart

33/1

Son of Moohaajim who is already gelded ahead of this debut and cost 20,000 gns as a yearling; a tenth foal and a half-brother to four winners. Stable having a quiet season so doesn't appeal on debut.

Form:

(7)

Tenbobmillionaire

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

40/1

Heeraat colt out of an unraced dam; cost 15,000gns as a foal and £15,000 as a yearling; third foal and a brother to Swedish 6f winner Hidden Happiness. Stable also runs Northern Celt and their runners tend to improve with time.

Form:

(6)

Ebony Legend¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R P Downey| T: J & S Quinn

16/1

Camacho filly, cost €9,000 as a foal and £20,000 as a yearling. Green on debut and showed improved form again over the 6f at Pontefract. Drop in trip should help after showing more early pace. Should be competitive.

Form: 55

(5)

She Looks Like Fun³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

4/1

Excellent run on her debut at Doncaster when not getting the clearest of runs and running a little green. Disappointed in the Edinburgh Castle Stakes but she didn't seem to act on the softer surface. Highly likely to bounce back.

Form: 33

(3)

Sombra De Mollys

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison

25/1

Daughter of Mayson out of a juvenile sprint winner; half-sister to 5f juvenile winner Pearl Of Qatar so some promise on breeding. Concern is her stable has yet to have a juvenile winner this year and are struggling for winners.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Istanbul (5/2), Point of Order (3/1), She Looks Like Fun (4/1), Bezzas Lad (11/2), Northern Celt (8/1), Rapid Russo (12/1), Ebony Legend (16/1), Sombra De Mollys (25/1), Speedymining (33/1), Tenbobmillionaire (40/1), Invincible Bertie (50/1)

On better ground SHE LOOKS LIKE FUN is worth another chance and her debut effort was not only highly promising but also sets the standard. Bezzas Lad and Ebony Legend aren't too far away from that level while Point Of Order really catches the eye on paper ahead of this debut.
