Kendred Soul²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 71

7/2

Penalised for her Beverley 5f win (coped well with drop from 6f) she didn't really need to improve to record that win. Proved herself over C&D before (second when trying to make all); form of that race franked by the winner; clear chance on form.

Form: 7321

(5)

Arriba Arriba⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: G Lee| T: R Menzies| OR: 74

7/1

Steps up to 6f for the first time having had four starts at 5f including once here last time (didn't appear suited by the track). That last run was well below her previous level of form; something to prove going up in trip now.

Form: 5326

(9)

Breguet Boy⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: S A Gray| T: K Dalgleish

14/1

Looks a modest sort given his two starts so far both of those runs coming here over 5f, outpaced last time, he needs more emphasis on stamina and less on speed. Now steps up to 6f for this first time, type to do better in handicaps.

Form: 45

Jungle Rock¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine

50/1

Showed very little on his debut run only beating one home over 6f (good) at Carlisle, looked very green when slow into stride. Double-figure draw won't help here as he makes his second start, best watched for now.

Form: 0

Lezardrieux⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer

100/1

Last of 10 here over 5f on his debut showing his inexperience and little else. Always on the backfoot after missing the break, should know more this time but hard to see him troubling the principals.

Form: 0

Pull Harder Con²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Brisland| OR: 58

33/1

Nothing to show for his three starts so far all over 6f in softer conditions than he's likely to face today. Not started at less than 100-1, that's unlikely to change today with an awkward outside draw to cope with.

Form: 086

Seas Of Elzaam

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara

3/1

Newcomer from the yard that won this last year (2-26 with 2yo newcomers this year). 22,000 guineas May Breeze-Up purchase; half-brother to 3 winners, including 2yo 6f winner Vital Wave, dam unraced. Market to provide useful guidance.

Wadi Al Salaam

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

33/1

€10,000 Breeze-Up purchase who makes his debut. Yard are 1-51 with 2yo newcomers this season. First foal: dam, maiden up to 7f, out of useful winner up to 7f (2yo 7f winner) Sweet Hope; best watched unless there is market support.

Form:

(2)

Pretty Lady

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

10/3

Es Que Love filly who makes her debut (trainer 10-70 with 2yo newcomers this year); closely related to useful 6f-1m winner Duca Di Como and half-sister to 3 winners. Dam unraced; one of the more likely newcomers.

Form:

(6)

Queen Of Rock

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: A Elliott| T: P A Kirby

50/1

First-timer from a yard not known for their juveniles (3-66 last five seasons). Second foal: dam, 5f winner (including as a 2yo). More than likely to be one of the lesser lights in this, could well need the experience.

Youarefullofchat³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Brisland

200/1

Green and inexperienced on her debut at Nottingham (6f, good) when finishing last of ten she did no better the second time around. Again finished last on her most recent start, not one to feel confident about.

Form: 09

Forecasts

Seas Of Elzaam (3/1), Pretty Lady (10/3), Kendred Soul (7/2), Hong Kong Harry (5/1), Arriba Arriba (7/1), Breguet Boy (14/1), Wadi Al Salaam (33/1), Pull Harder Con (33/1), Jungle Rock (50/1), Queen Of Rock (50/1), Lezardrieux (100/1), Youarefullofchat (200/1)

Those that have run before apart from the penalised Kendred Soul have failed to set the pulse racing with their performances and even with her extra weight Jedd O’Keeffe’s runner looks as though she will be in the shake-up. Therefore it may pay to take note of the newcomers with the nicely berthed HONG KONG HARRY the pick of the bunch from the Richard Fahey stable that know how to ready one debut. He’s by Es Que Love who is the sire of one of the other fancied newcomers in Pretty Lady who makes her debut in the same colours that her sire used to wear in his time with the Johnston yard. David O’Meara won this last year and he saddles Seas Of Elzaam.
