Lethal Talent⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 62

5/1

Has yet to hit the frame in her three starts so far but she has shown some promise, including on the AW at Chelmsford (6f) when she was fifth of 14. Handicap debut here and she is stepping up in trip. Not to be ignored.

Form: 054

Bacchalot¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hannon| OR: 62

9/2

Remains a maiden after six runs, of which her last two have come in handicap company. She was only 2¾L away last time when sixth of 10 at Ffos Las (6f). Has been eased 2lb for this latest attempt at this new distance. Each-way claims.

Boy George²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Keniry| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 60

14/1

Yet to impress so far in his three starts. He was fourth of seven on his latest start at Newbury (6f). Makes his handicap debut here over 7f. Keep an eye out for any market support behind him before the race.

Form: 064

Out Of Here^p1⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: K A Ryan| OR: 60

7/2

Has been well held on his three starts so far, all of which have come at shorter trips than this. Has now been gelded and is stepping up to a distance which may be more suitable on his handicap debut. Cheekpieces on for first time. One to consider.

Form: 565

Timon¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 55

20/1

Has been a long way down the field on his three appearances on the track. He was last of six on his latest run at Salisbury (6f) in a maiden. Has since been gelded and makes handicap debut here. Needs to improve.

Form: 906

Santorini Sal⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 54

16/1

Produced her best run to date last time in what was her fourth start and her first in handicap company when she finished third of 10 at Windsor (6f). Remains off the same mark here on AW debut. Best watched for now,

Premium Bond²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: R Hannon| OR: 51

7/1

Has come home a long way down the field in his three starts so far, including latest on turf at Lingfield (7f) when ninth of 15. Handicap debut and has to be respected for this top yard, however, he needs to deliver more on what he has shown so far.

Form: 089

Luscifer¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 50

25/1

Not been able to remain competitive at the business end of his four starts to date. He made his handicap debut at Ffos Las (6f) last time when eighth of 10. Gone down 4lb since that run. Much more needed from the colt.

Form: 7388

Broughtons Compass³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Joey Haynes| T: M R Hoad| OR: 49

25/1

The market has spoken volumes about his chances so far as he has been a big price on all three of his starts where he has failed to impress. Was 10th of 13 last time at Salisbury (7f). Hard to make a case for despite this being his handicap debut.

Form: 050

(14)

Port Noir^t1¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Fahy| T: G Harris| OR: 47

50/1

Remains a maiden after four runs. Switched yards earlier this year but has failed to go close on her two starts since then, including latest at Ffos Las (6f) where she was seventh of 10. Down 3lb and tongue-tie on for first time. Others preferred.

Form: 0987

Now I'm A Believer¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M R Channon| OR: 45

10/1

Has come home at the back end of the field on all three of her starts. She only had one horse behind her last time at Ffos Las (6f) when going off at 33/1. Handicap debut here so her result may improve. One to watch for now.

Form: 766

Luna Wish⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: F Norton| T: G G Margarson| OR: 45

9/2

Has had four attempts to get off the mark so far and she came really close to doing that last time at Chelmsford (1m) on the AW where she was second of seven, beaten by just a neck behind Mac Mccarthy. Good chance of maiden success here.

Forecasts

Out Of Here (7/2), Mac Mccarthy (4/1), Luna Wish (9/2), Bacchalot (9/2), Lethal Talent (5/1), Premium Bond (7/1), Now I'm A Believer (10/1), Sparkling Diamond (10/1), Boy George (14/1), Santorini Sal (16/1), Timon (20/1), Broughtons Compass (25/1), Luscifer (25/1), Port Noir (50/1)

MAC MCCARTHY looked much better last time since being gelded where he was rewarded with his maiden success. This slight step down in trip may actually help him so expect him to defy his 6lb penalty and record his second win in as many starts in this nursery. Luna Wish went down by just a neck on the AW at Chelmsford last time behind Mac Mccarthy and she should once again pose a strong challenge to the gelding, while expect an improved performance from Out Of Here now he has been gelded and is up in trip.
