Inflamed¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 55

2/1

New Approach colt has been well held in three turf novice contests so far and faces a stiff task off this opening mark on his handicap and AW debut. Improvement needed and others preferred.

Form: 967

Timon^p1¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam J McNamara| T: M R Channon| OR: 54

4/1

Struggled before handicap debut but shaped much better for gelding operation at Newbury and likely has more to offer now in first-time cheekpieces. Concern is he got to set a slow pace there and has a fair bit to find with Luna Wish.

Form: 9065

Halfacrown¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: J A Osborne| OR: 52

8/1

Hallowed Crown colt has struggled to make an impression in three races so far and hasn't beaten a rival home the last twice. Huge improvement required on handicap debut.

Form: 956

Luna Wish¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J Quinn| T: G G Margarson| OR: 49

7/4

Has shown big progress in two handicap starts so far with narrow defeats over this C&D and latterly over 7f at Kempton. Has relished the switch to the AW and was squeezed out early last start so the run should be upgraded. The one to beat.

Form: 59822

Broughtons Compass¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Joey Haynes| T: M R Hoad| OR: 47

10/1

Finished behind Luna Wish and Timon on handicap debut at Kempton and yet to show signs he's progressing. Could be suited by extra furlong but likely to find a couple too good.

Form: 0507

Cersei Lannister^v³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 46

11/1

Struggled in first two novice contests but much better effort in selling company at Catterick last month. On the bare face of it that puts her on a potentially attractive mark on handicap debut. Could go well.

Form: 786

Forecasts

Luna Wish (7/4), Inflamed (2/1), Timon (4/1), Halfacrown (8/1), Broughtons Compass (10/1), Cersei Lannister (11/1)

LUNA WISH deserves a win and after not much went right early on in her latest narrow defeat, she's been found a really good opportunity to open her account. Timon will face more competition for the lead than in her defeat behind the selection, however has to be considered in a race lacking depth. Cersei Lannister has been given a chance by the handicapper with this opening mark and rates the main danger.
