Hector Loza²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: N Mackay| T: S Dow

4/1

Strong in the market and progressed when winning a 6f novice at Chelmsford on his second start (showed a good attitude to beat an experienced sort). Now penalised along with one other runner; he's entitled to come on again upped to 7f.

Form: 31

Tell Me All¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| D

8/15

Like the other penalised runner in the race (Hector Loza) he found improvement on the back of the promise he showed on his debut to win a Beverley maiden over an extended 7f. Plenty to recommend him; further progress likely, sound player.

Form: 51

Ben Lilly

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: R M Beckett

8/1

Newcomer; Gleneagles colt, half-brother to several winners including the smart at up to 1m1f Western Aristocrat (7f 2yo winner). Interesting to see what the market makes of him for a yard that are 2-23 with juvenile debutants this season.

Tantivy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

14/1

Yard 10-84 with 2yo newcomers this year (usually find their juveniles come on for the run). Roderic O'Connor colt; half-brother to winner at up to 6f Tartary, out of an unraced dam. In good hands but might need the experience in this company.

Transition

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: Mrs A J Perrett

14/1

Yard yet to have a 2yo placed this year (0-9; 0-3 with newcomers) this looks one for the future. 75,000 guineas yearling by Oasis Dream out of a Canadian 7f winner; best watched for the time being given the form of the yard with juveniles.

Harrison Point⁸

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

T: A Watson J: Hollie Doyle

Forecasts

Tell Me All (8/15), Harrison Point (9/4), Hector Loza (4/1), Ben Lilly (8/1), Transition (14/1), Tantivy (14/1)

This looks quite a warm little race of its type with the two penalised winners setting a good standard although Tell Me All is preferred to Hector Loza in that particular battle. Overall though HARRISON POINT makes the most appeal especially receiving 7lb from the two aforementioned winners; he could be yet another 2yo winner for the Watson yard. Two of the newcomers Ben Lilly and Tantivy emanate from good yard although neither are that prolific with their juveniles first-time out this year and are best watched unless there are strong market vibes for them.
