Wyclif¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| BF| D

5/2

Justified favouritism in fine style on Doncaster debut and compromised his chance with a slow start when favourite at Leicester last time. It was a fair effort in defeat nonetheless and respected here, despite having to concede weight to all.

Form: 13

Convict²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas

2/1

Respectable effort on debut at Newbury, sticking to his task well in the closing stages but this son of Australia will surely be better suited by longer trips than what he faces here.

Form: 6

Dangeroffizz

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby

25/1

Champs Elysees colt, cost 14,000 gns as a foal. Dam a 1m1f winner. Likely to be better suited by further than this and yard's debutantes often in need of the run; others make more appeal.

Hovingham¹⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler

50/1

Captain Gerrard gelding who was beaten a long way on debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in April when sent off at 100/1. Step up in trip will suit but hard to make a case for.

Form: 8

(7)

More Than Love

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

25/1

Kitten's Joy gelding, brother to a 5f winner and a dirt winner over further. Dam won at sprint trips and at a 1m. Already gelded prior to debut and others make more appeal.

Form:

(5)

Revestar

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford

9/1

Sea The Stars colt, cost €35,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to 6f juvenile winner. Dam a French miler who was a half-sister to Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Bethrah. Beautifully bred and yard's debutantes always respected.

Form:

(1)

Vega Magic

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K A Ryan

3/1

Lope De Vega colt, cost 140,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a German Listed winner as a juvenile over an extended 7f and half-sister to a German Group 3 winner at 1m6f. Yard flying at present and can ready a newcomer.

Form:

(3)

Let Her Loose

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

8/1

Mukhadram filly, cost 40,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a half-sister to a French Listed winner. Yard do well with their juveniles and interesting to see what the market makes of her.

Forecasts

Convict (2/1), Wyclif (5/2), Vega Magic (3/1), Let Her Loose (8/1), Revestar (9/1), Dangeroffizz (25/1), More Than Love (25/1), Hovingham (50/1)

Wyclif sets the standard on form but this race could go to a well bred newcomer and REVESTAR makes most appeal. The Sea The Stars colt represents a trainer who does well with newcomers/juveniles and he's a tentative selection in a tricky novice event. Vega Magic is an obvious threat given his breeding. Any market support for Let Her Loose could be significant.
