Just A Jeroboam¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: D J S Ffrench Davis

100/1

Colt by Bobby's kitten out of poor maiden. Showed little on debut when always behind finishing 11th of 12 at Kempton over 6f earlier this month. Hard to fancy on that evidence.

Bungledupinblue⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: George Scott

7/2

Bungle Inthejungle filly cost £32,000 as a yearling and made a promising start when third of 12 over 5f at Newmarket last week showng plenty of speed until tiring late on. Will know more now and looks the one to beat.

Form: 3

Happy Romance⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

10/11

Dandy Man filly cost £25,000 as a yearling. Hampered early before keeping on into sixth at HQ in same race as Bungledupinblue. Has less than two lengths to find with that rival and will know much more this time so rates a big danger.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Happy Romance (10/11), Bungledupinblue (7/2), Fernando Rah (4/1), Celestial Point (25/1), Liberty Bay (33/1), Just A Jeroboam (100/1)

The Newmarket race last week in which BUNGLEDUPINBLUE was third and Happy Romance was sixth looks key to this contest and there might not be much between the pair this time, the latter having been slightly hampered early before keeping on. The selection showed plenty of pace that day and it would be no surprise to see her make all here. Fernando Rah looks the most interesting of the three newcomers and is bred to win a race or two. Celestial Point appears best of the rest.
