Dark Silver¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: E Walker

4/1

Best effort in two starts to date came when finishing third in a 6f novice contest at Newbury (good-to-firm) earlier this month. One to note for a stable with a 28% strike-rate (8/29) in recent weeks.

Well beaten tenth of 11 in a 6f novice race at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) on debut earlier this month. Others hold stronger claims.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: W Stone

16/1

Held in two starts to date most recently when seventh at Yarmouth (6f, good-to-firm) a fortnight ago. Others make more appeal.

Ventura Bounty

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon

5/2

Unraced Dabirsim colt cost connections €98,000 at the sales in September last year. Joined a top yard and is one for the shortlist on racecourse debut.

11/8

Placed on both starts so far most recently when 1¾L third in a 7f maiden at Sandown (soft) last month. Gelded since and is a leading contender once more.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Eyre

100/1

Slowly away and never involved when beaten 26L on debut at Ripon (6f, good-to-soft) last month. More needed if he is to take this event.

Champagne Victory⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: B Ellison

50/1

Fair fifth in a 5f novice race at Beverley (good-to-soft) on her penultimate start. Unseated rider last start and probably best watched at present.

Form: 95U

Courtney Rose

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado

40/1

Unraced daughter of Heeraat and a half-sister to a number of winners including ten time scorer Precision Strike. Worth a check in the market on debut.

Forecasts

Visible Charm (11/8), Ventura Bounty (5/2), Dark Silver (4/1), Coast Ofalfujairah (7/1), Pettinger (8/1), Tamar (14/1), Little Brown Trout (16/1), Courtney Rose (40/1), Champagne Victory (50/1), Just Norman (66/1), William Alexander (100/1)

DARK SILVER ran well last time out on his second career start and representing a yard in good form at present he can break his maiden at the third time of asking in the opening race on the card. Visible Charm has placed on both previous outings and he can claim second on this occasion while third place can go to Ventura Bounty who was an expensive yearling purchase.
