(1)

Comeatchoo⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62

11/2

Camacho gelding; produced a clear career best effort on second start when finishing 5L sixth of 12 to Insania at Thirsk (5f, good); doesn't appeal other than on the basis of that single piece of form.

Form: 060

(5)

Blitzle²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 65

11/10

Toronado filly; made the frame at odds of 40-1 on her second start (5f, Thirsk); encountered soft ground over C&D here 23-days ago; should make her presence felt against these opponents.

Form: 537

(7)

South Light^t1⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁷⁾| T: A Brittain

33/1

Elzaam filly; has shown precious little in the way of promise to date (5f-6f); tongue-tie applied for the drop into a claimer.

Form: 69

(4)

Secret Cecil^v1¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: R P Downey| T: J Tuite| OR: 54

16/1

Holy Roman Emperor gelding; hasn't beaten a single rival on his last two starts (Goodwood and Windsor), although this is undoubtedly a much less taxing assignment; wears a newly applied visor.

Form: 680

(3)

Flight Of Thunder³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 55

11/4

Night Of Thunder filly; patently didn't get home over 6f on good to soft ground at Leicester last month, albeit she turned in a reasonable performance (showed pace); has a definite shout back over 5f at this much sharper track.

Form: 879

(2)

Queen Moya²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler

12/1

Sizeable odds when well beaten on both previous starts, including in the valuable Rous Selling Stakes at York (6f); very unlikely to be the solution.

Form: 80

(8)

Two Hearts²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: Grant Tuer

20/1

Showed no signs of improvement (raced keenly early) for being gelded when finishing sixth of seven to Better The Devil in a 5f Hamilton maiden (good) last month.

Form: 86

(6)

Starfield Song²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine

33/1

25-1 when finishing last of nine on debut in a Carlisle novice (5f, good to soft); swiftly shunted into a claimer so the chances are that there will be precious little improvement to come.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Blitzle (11/10), Flight Of Thunder (11/4), Comeatchoo (11/2), Queen Moya (12/1), Secret Cecil (16/1), Two Hearts (20/1), Starfield Song (33/1), South Light (33/1)

A desperately weak opener in which the Ollie Pears-trained Blitzle is just about the 'form horse'. She should make her presence felt against these opponents after finishing a mildly respectable seventh of ten to Fashion Advice (runner-up a subsequent winner) in a soft ground C&D novice 23-days ago. However, we'll take a slight chance on the Kevin Ryan-trained FLIGHT OF THUNDER who demonstrated plenty of pace at Leicester (6f) before weakening quickly inside the final furlong. A drop back in trip around a sharp track should suit her down to the ground on that evidence alone.
