Troubador²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 83| D

5/1

Redcar winner earlier in the campaign took his form to a new level and showed himself an above average sort when winning by 4L at Carlisle latest. Will make a bold bid under top weight.

Form: 7121

Iva Reflection^p1⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 80

14/1

16-1 winner on debut at Doncaster (5f, good) in April and backed that up with a solid run in the Lily Agnes at Chester (second) before struggling at Royal Ascot and in a subsequent Haydock nursery. 2lb lower and cheekpieces added.

Form: 1208

Dragon Command^p¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: George Scott| OR: 78| D

9/4

Benefitted for the first time cheekpieces latest when winning by 2¾L over this trip at Epsom. Steps into handicaps now with more to give in the retained headgear and can't be ruled out.

Form: 5251

Endowed¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 77| BF

3/1

Fifth on debut at Ascot followed by two thirds with the latest a narrow defeat at Carlisle as favourite. Has more to give now as he goes handicapping and rates a likely type here.

Form: 533

Oso Rapido²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Spencer| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77

13/2

Ripon third and Thirsk second in first two starts before shade disappointing here last time out. Been gelded since then and will need that to have made a difference here.

Form: 235

Olcan^h1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74

18/1

AW second on debut promising but two fifths since then on turf less compelling. Hood added for this, his handicap debut.

Form: 255

(5)

Teenar¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73

6/1

Second at Hamilton on second start (5f) promising and looked to be crying out for 6f latest when third at Newcastle over same trip. Yard do excellently well in nurseries and confident this one will be winning very soon.

Form: 723

(9)

My Kinda Day²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 71

8/1

Third of eight here over 5f latest was fair form and step up to 6f on handicap debut could see him improve further. Stable also run Teenar and the market will help as to their individual expectations.

Forecasts

Dragon Command (9/4), Endowed (3/1), Troubador (5/1), Teenar (6/1), Oso Rapido (13/2), My Kinda Day (8/1), Iva Reflection (14/1), Amnaa (16/1), Olcan (18/1)

Although several of these have already won a race the maiden ENDOWED gets the vote after running well at Carlisle last time out where he looked an ideal type for nurseries. Richard Fahey's pair are also interesting with slight preference for Teenar who looks sure to improve for an extra 1f today. It will be some performance if Troubador wins off 9st 7lb but his form so far is enough to think it entirely possible.
