Cobber Kain²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| CD

1/3

Off the mark at the first time of asking when winning a C&D maiden by 1L earlier this month. Represents a top stable with a 43% strike-rate (18/42) of late and he looks likely to play a leading role once more.

Form: 1

Cadeo^h¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti

25/1

Slowly away and finished a well beaten ninth of 11 in a 6f maiden at Wolverhampton when debuting earlier this month. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 9

Costello⁵⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: M Murphy

10/1

Promising fourth in a novice race over an extended 7f at Lingfield (good-to-firm) on debut at the start of last month. Likely more needed if he is to take this event.

Form: 4

(10)

Dutugamunu

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: R Spencer

10/1

Unraced son of Ivawood purchased for 40,000 gns at the sales as a foal. Half-brother to the yards classy juvenile Rajasinghe and market support would be notable on debut.

Freshwater Cliffs¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: R Hughes

16/1

Beaten 14L when last of three over an extended 5f at Brighton (good-to-firm) on debut at the start of this month. Struggled over 5f here subsequently and is probably best watched stepping up in trip.

Form: 35

Licorice^p1²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson

6/1

Fair effort in finishing 7L seventh in a 1m novice race at Lingfield when debuting at the end of last month. Interesting to see how he fares with cheekpieces tried for the first time.

Form: 7

(8)

Mungo's Quest³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: S Dow| OR: 48

66/1

Held on all four starts so far including when 13L ninth off a mark of 51 in a 6f handicap at Kempton last month. Others make more appeal.

Form: 0669

Rajan¹²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: Tom Clover

25/1

Well beaten tenth of 13 in a 6f novice race at Windsor (good-to-firm) when debuting at the end of May. More needed on return from a break.

Form: 0

Belle Rousse⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott

33/1

Failed to figure when beaten 18½L in a 6f maiden at Southwell on debut recently. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Form: 5

Love Not Money

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁷⁾| T: R M H Cowell

16/1

Unraced daughter of Dawn Apporach purchased for 800 gns as a yearling in October last year. Probably best watched on racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Cobber Kain (1/3), Licorice (6/1), Costello (10/1), Dutugamunu (10/1), Freshwater Cliffs (16/1), Love Not Money (16/1), Cadeo (25/1), Rajan (25/1), Belle Rousse (33/1), Mungo's Quest (66/1)

COBBER KAIN is the sole previous winner in the field and he looks capable of following up his debut victory here by taking this novice event. The selection can get the better of Dutugamunu who is a half-brother to a useful juvenile while third place can go to Licorice who wears cheekpieces for the first time.
