Aiden's Reward²⁰

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

33/1

Has beaten just the one rival in two maidens at big prices and needs dramatic improvement to take even a weak contest such as this. Nurseries afterwards look the best option.

Mr Duepearl

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brisland

10/1

Sales price dropped from 16,000 gns as a foal to £2,500 as a yearling. Half-brother won at 7f and 1m on the AW. Yard can get juvenile winners so worth noting in the market.

Microscopic¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Nicola Currie| T: D M Simcock| OR: 64

2/1

Similar level of form without progressing in all four starts to date. Readily left behind behind at Windsor on latest though at least connections have an even weaker contest here.

Form: 4524

She Looks Like Fun¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 69

1/2

Penultimate run on good to soft was poor but either side of that she has run well in defeat on good to firm and providing the rain stays away has to have a favourites chance here.

Form: 332

Forecasts

She Looks Like Fun (1/2), Microscopic (2/1), Knock Knock (7/1), Mr Duepearl (10/1), Aiden's Reward (33/1)

A weak contest and the newcomers won't have to be of that high a standard to play a major part but if SHE LOOKS LIKE FUN can run to the same form as two of her three runs it should be enough to get her off the mark. Microscopic isn't progressing but she is the danger of those to have raced while a market move for either of the newcomers will be of interest with Knock Knock making more appeal on paper.
