Flylikeaneagle¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

5/4

Cost €25,000 as a yearling and a half brother to winners Chessman and Handbell. Has front run in both starts with a second and a win. Kept on strongly at Beverley as though this extra half furlong would suit and sets the standard.

Form: 21

(7)

Grand Rock⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: W J Haggas

7/2

£150,000 yearling; seventh foal; half-brother to five winners. Struggled over 6f on debut and suited by this extra test on breeding. Bare level of form though would need significantly improving upon.

Form: 4

Lawaa²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

9/1

Promising third on debut at Epsom but really struggled at Goodwood on his second start. Maybe an easier surface could see him bounce back and not one to give up on yet.

Form: 30

(6)

Max's Voice²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: D Loughnane

28/1

Gelded son of Poet's Voice has run to a similar standard in two runs so far and now up in trip again. Vast improvement needed in this company.

Form: 76

Twin Paradox

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

20/1

Son of Slade Power cost €23,000 as a yearling and 45,000gns as a juvenile; an eighth foal and a half brother to three winners. Stable doing well with their juveniles so one to note in the betting on debut.

Ten Thousand Stars¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls

8/1

Showed big improvement from her debut and a willing attitude when winning at Newmarket over 7f. Bred to be suited by going up in distance and a likely contender for an in-form yard.

Form: 01

(1)

Oh Mary Oh Mary²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby

9/2

Mukhadram half-sister to dual 6f winner Fortunate Vision. Slowly away on Catterick debut, but finished with a rattle for third, and almost certainly better than the bare form. Likely big improver.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Flylikeaneagle (5/4), Grand Rock (7/2), Oh Mary Oh Mary (9/2), Ten Thousand Stars (8/1), Lawaa (9/1), Twin Paradox (20/1), Max's Voice (28/1)

There was a lot to like about the debut of Oh Mary Oh Mary considering she missed the break and proved green, so it would be no surprise to see her find the improvement to go close. Ten Thousand Stars certainly did benefit from her debut when winning last time and she's bred to improve with the added test of stamina. FLYLIKEANEAGLE is a typically uncomplicated front runner for his leading stable and has shown a game attitude while also boasting the best form on offer.
