Richard R H B²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Gray| T: D Loughnane| OR: 69| CD

6/4

Off the mark when winning a C&D nursery very similar in standard to this last time out. Upped 5lb despite winning by a head so will have to improve again to follow up; place likely.

Form: 746461

Holy Eleanor^p⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 68

6/1

Fourth to Richard R H B beaten 2¾L on stable debut before twice finishing second at Lingfield (7f) and back over C&D. Meets aforementioned rival on 3lb better terms and has probably improved since their first clash; respected.

Form: 988422

Interrupted Dream⁶⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 66| D

18/1

Was looking regressive until stopping the rot in style with a win at Kempton (7f) on final start for Mark Johnston. Matched that when runner-up at Southwell for new yard, but up another 4lb he struggled back on turf. Could bounce back on AW.

Form: 745120

Barking Mad¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: P D Evans| OR: 65

4/1

Took a definite step forward latest in first race since being gelded when beaten just ¾L into fourth at Lingfield where he finished fastest of all. Gets a 1lb rise for that but be very disappointed if he doesn't better than finishing position today.

Form: 5564

Wailea Nights²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Watson| T: M Botti| OR: 63

16/1

Couple of thirds in novice events show she has ability but beaten 8¼L into 10th of 11 on handicap bow behind Richard R H B latest. All sorts went wrong for her that day so better expected now.

Form: 3350

Lady Codee⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: M J Attwater| OR: 63

66/1

Unable to get seriously involved in three fillies novice events so will have to take a step forward on handicap debut if she's to play any part.

Form: 607

Amicia²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Botti| OR: 62

20/1

Moderate level of form shown in three starts at Lingfield (twice) and Yarmouth as she now enters handicaps for the first time but little doubt she must improve to be involved in the finish.

Form: 078

(5)

Little Ted^b,t²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59

9/2

C&D third latest decent form and his fourth third place finish in 12 two-year-old starts. Form on it's own gives him a chance but already very exposed and vulnerable to anything that can improve.

Form: 344603

Forecasts

Richard R H B (6/4), Barking Mad (4/1), Little Ted (9/2), Holy Eleanor (6/1), Breguet Boy (13/2), Wailea Nights (16/1), Interrupted Dream (18/1), Amicia (20/1), Lady Codee (66/1)

In a trappy contest the vote goes to BARKING MAD who made a big step forward at Lingfield having been gelded. He was given plenty to do there but under the excellent Adam Kirby he is unlikely to be asked such a stern test today and can get off the mark in his fifth start. Recent C&D winner Richard R H B and Holy Eleanor who was behind him that day and who has been second twice since are both leading players also.
