Jazzameer⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Racheal Kneller⁽⁵⁾| T: Mat Salaman

100/1

Has a few decent sort in her pedigree on the dam's side, yet to show anything on the track however; failing to beat a rival home in two spring starts at Chelmsford and Bath. Hard to be positive.

Form: 79

Desert Land²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock| OR: 75

1/1

Son of Kodiac cost 150,000 gns as a yearling and is improving with racing. Close second at Leicester (7f, good to firm) early this month despite being keen and looks sure to get off the mark soon.

Form: 4-732

(4)

Jered Maddox¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Donagh O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: D Marnane| OR: 62

7/2

Eight-race maiden in Ireland, best form has come over 1m+ so far, interesting raider nonetheless and needs close market scrutiny.

Form: 700045

(5)

My Style³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 75

3/1

Gelded son of Holy Roman Emperor, has shown bits of promise in three novice runs over 7f/1m½f so far but will surely need to improve to figure prominently.

Form: 455

(2)

Young General

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

7/1

Dark Angel colt, cost 105,000 gns yearling and is closely related to useful winner up to 1m Sweepstake. Commands plenty of respect on debut for the Richard Hannon team.

Midas Girl²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E Walker

10/1

Dabirsim filly, made €100,000 as a two-year-old. 25-1 on debut at Chelmsford (1m, AW) this month and not entirely without promise despite fading late in the piece. Can build on that.

Form: 6

(1)

Peggotty²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: A W Carroll

50/1

Filly by Assertive, big price and achieved little on debut in 6f Windsor novice late last month. Must take a big step forward.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Desert Land (1/1), My Style (3/1), Jered Maddox (7/2), Young General (7/1), Midas Girl (10/1), Peggotty (50/1), Jazzameer (100/1)

Having improved with each start, DESERT LAND can get off the mark here after a pleasing second at Leicester earlier in the month on quick ground. He may be hard to hold, particularly if settling better in the early stages. Midas Girl showed ability on her debut at Chelmsford and could go well while Young General is a likely sort on debut for Richard Hannon and joins Irish raider Jered Maddox on the shortlist.
