Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: S Donohoe| T: R Spencer| OR: 67

16/1

Placed on debut over 5f at Windsor (good) in April but failed to build on that in two subsequent starts. Interesting to see how he fares on handicap debut having been gelded since his most recent start.

Winnetka¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Fahy| T: R Hannon| OR: 67

7/1

Improving with racing and ran well to finish 4L fifth in a 7f maiden at Epsom (good) earlier this month. Drop in trip unlikely to inconvenience too much on handicap debut.

Form: 885

Lexington Quest¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 66

7/2

Finished 4½L behind Ambyfaeirvine in a 6f contest at Pontefract (good-to-firm) on handicap debut recently. Experienced trouble in running that day and likely capable of much better.

3/1

Returned from a short break when a victory in a 6f event at Pontefract (good-to-firm) on handicap debut recently. One for the shortlist under a 6lb penalty.

Form: 4571

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: R Brisland| OR: 64

15/2

Ran well to finish 5L second in a 6f maiden at Hamilton (good-to-firm) at the end of last month. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 052

Geepower⁵⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: B Ellison| OR: 64

33/1

Decent 8L fourth in a 5f novice race at Beverley (good-to-soft) in May on his second racecourse appearance. Disappointed over this trip next time and makes his handicap debut having been gelded in the interim.

Form: 847

Ebony Adams²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: B J Meehan| OR: 62

13/2

Fair form when sixth in a 6f novice contest at Windsor (good) three weeks ago. Beaten 4¾L that day and is worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 956

Walton Thorns⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Winston| T: C Hills| OR: 61

9/1

Signs of ability on two most recent appearances including over 5f on good ground here early last month. Gelded since and market support would be notable switched to handicaps.

Form: 095

Mr Gus³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 53

8/1

Well beaten in three starts so far most recently when 14L eighth of nine in a maiden race at Carlisle (5f, good-to-soft) last month. Stepping back up in trip on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Ambyfaeirvine (3/1), Lexington Quest (7/2), Ebony Adams (13/2), Winnetka (7/1), Navajo Dawn (15/2), Mr Gus (8/1), Walton Thorns (9/1), Red Maharani (10/1), Champagne Supanova (16/1), Geepower (33/1)

LEXINGTON QUEST was short of room at a crucial stage on handicap debut last time out and he can get off the mark at the second attempt in handicaps by taking this competitive nursery event. The selection finished behind Ambyfaeirvine that day and he can reverse form with that rival who can claim second on this occasion while third place can go to top weight Champagne Supernova who is one of a number in here who are making their handicap debut.
