Bill Neigh¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J Ryan| OR: 85| CD

11/4

Has raced solely at this minimum trip and both wins gained here. Showed good attitude when defying a penalty on second of them and not disgraced when in too deep in Listed event at Sandown since. Obvious player back at this venue.

Form: 1017

Exclusively¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam J McNamara| T: A Watson| OR: 84| BF| D

11/2

Redcar winner on debut and only time out of the first two in four starts was when trying 6f in Ascot's Queen Mary Stakes. Probably bumped into above average type when beaten at Nottingham last time and remains in good heart.

Form: 1202

Dazzling Des¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| D

7/2

Off the mark at third time of asking at Wolverhampton and then just behind Bill Neigh when both were out of their depth in Listed sprint at Sandown. 4lb pull for less than a length with that rival today.

Form: 5418

Tom Tulliver²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: D Carroll| OR: 80| D

13/2

Off the mark in soft ground maiden and then ran up to that form on faster ground when third under a big penalty at Catterick. Probably more to come.

Form: 313

Birkenhead^v³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: D Allan| T: J L Eyre| OR: 74| D

8/1

Plenty of experience already gained and beat Betty's Hope to gain sole success at Beverley in April. First run since leaving Mick Channon when below par on latest and others may have more to come.

Harswell¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: L Bailey| OR: 73| CD

18/1

Good ground win here in May but took a step backwards after been gelded when down the field in York nursery on latest and bit to prove now.

Form: 7185

Dandizette⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 69| D

5/1

Speedy type who continued her consistent form when second in similar event off this mark at Ripon last week and could be dangerous if able to bag the rails from the front.

Form: 243152

Il Maestro^v1⁶⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: A Mullen| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 66

25/1

Three quick runs in the spring of which the first was the best. Gelded since disappointing on the most recent 10 weeks ago and now visored for the first time.

Form: 447

Forecasts

Bill Neigh (11/4), Dazzling Des (7/2), Dandizette (5/1), Exclusively (11/2), Tom Tulliver (13/2), Birkenhead (8/1), Harswell (18/1), Il Maestro (25/1)

A tricky puzzle to solve and a narrow vote goes to BILL NEIGH who clearly copes well with this track and can make it 3 from 3 here. Tom Tulliver did well under a big penalty in a novice event last time and rates a big threat with Dazzling Des completing the short list.
