Damage Control

16/1

Zoffany colt who was foaled on March 1 and cost 65,000 gns as a foal. He is a half-brother to a number of winners, including Genius Boy who scored over 1m and Coquet who was successful at trips up to 1m2f. Likely type on his debut.

33/1

Holy Roman Emperor gelding who was foaled on April 30 and cost 80,000 gns as a yearling. He is a half-brother to My Mahrani who scored over 7f as two-year-old. Keep an eye out for any market confidence on his opening start here.

16/1

Karakontie colt who was foaled on March 15 and cost £45,000 as a two-year-old. His dam did not prevail but she is a half-sister to Jaish who showed some good form as a two-year-old where she won over 6f. Likely to improve with experience.

Khalifa Sat

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

14/1

Free Eagle colt who cost €40,000 as a yearling. He is a half-brother to Rum Runner who was successful as a two-year-old. Has an entry in the Derby so clearly well thought of. Interesting newcomer who may well run well on debut.

Mambo Nights²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 87

3/1

Has had the three runs so far and he produced his best performance to date last time when finishing second of 10 at Newbury (7f), beaten by just a neck. Stepping up in trip here which might help his chances. One to consider.

Form: 862

Max Vega

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett

18/1

Lope De Vega colt who was foaled on February 21 and cost €25,000 as a yearling. He is a half-brother to Camphor who won over 1m2f. Probably wise not to expect too much from his opening start but may prove useful in the future.

Sea Trout Reach³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas

11/4

Finished second of 13 on his opening start at Doncaster over 7f after going off at 11/4. He was staying on strongly last time so this new distance is likely to suit. Should build upon his debut so he is one of the shortlist

Form: 2

(1)

Sea Voice

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

40/1

Poet's Voice colt who was foaled on February 7. He is a half-brother to Nayer Bu Thaila who won over 6f. His dam was a maiden who raced up to 7f. Yard also have Mambo Nights in this race so the market is likely to indicate which has the best chance.

Form:

Shandoz²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

2/1

Made a promising debut at Newmarket where he finished third of seven, beaten by just ½L in the 1m contest. Likely to improve on that opening appearance on his second start here over the same distance. Leading contender.

Form: 3

(7)

Summeronsevenhills

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

66/1

Summer Front colt who was foaled on February 18 and cost £85,000 as a two-year-old. His dam was unraced but a half-sister to Tizcano who won in the US as a sprinter. Should improve with experience under his belt.

Form:

Forecasts

Shandoz (2/1), Sea Trout Reach (11/4), Mambo Nights (3/1), Khalifa Sat (14/1), Kenzai Warrior (16/1), Damage Control (16/1), Max Vega (18/1), Glorious Caesar (33/1), Sea Voice (40/1), Summeronsevenhills (66/1)

SHANDOZ was not far away over this distance on his debut in what was a pleasing start. He should step up on from that appearance to break his maiden here as many of his rivals will need the run. Mambo Nights was denied by just a neck last time and this step up in trip might help his chances so expect a strong display again, while Sea Trout Reach showed promise on his debut to indicate he is going to be competitive here and can fill the placings.
