Off time: 15:25 | Winning time: 1m 24.85s

(12)

Dylan's Lad

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring

125/1

Price rose to €13,000 as a yearling. Third foal of dam who was unraced. Half-brother to a 6f winner but presumably had issues to take so long to reach the track.

Form:

(1)

Joe's Way³⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

50/1

Missed the break and always green on sole start over a year ago, eventually finishing last. Long absence since to overcome.

Form: 0-

(13)

Luvi's Little Bro

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Phil Dennis| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife

80/1

Cost £80,000 as a yearling but that dropped to just 1,500 gns last autumn. Dam won over 7f and 1m and this one is related to winners at various trips but has presumably had issues.

Form:

(4)

My Friend Stan⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 72

6/1

Promise first three runs in Ireland last year but finished the season there on a low and very disappointing two of his three runs since joining this yard and hasn't totally convinced that he stays 7f.

Form: 327-044

(7)

Rebel Soldier Boy^p1⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74

10/11

Had no problems stepping up to 7f for the first time at Leicester last week, giving best in the last few strides and going down by a neck (10L clear of My Friend Stan). Cheekpieces now go on for the first time.

Form: 224-32

(8)

Tagovailoa²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: A Watson

14/1

Took a step forward from his debut when third at Windsor over 6f last month, 3L behind Vitare. Shaped as though this extra furlong will definitely suit and should have more to come.

Form: 73

(10)

Trumpets Call^b1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Menzies| OR: 68

25/1

Entered handicaps on a high mark and not surprisingly drops back into maiden company now. Debut for this stable didn't offer a great deal but this is easier and could play a part.

Form: 4466-9

(5)

Vitare²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: M R Channon| OR: 77| BF

5/2

Yarmouth second on comeback run in early June probably the best form on offer but hasn't improved in two runs since and disappointing he couldn't take advantage of a very weak race over 6f at Windsor last time.

Form: 0-232

(11)

Another Bond

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears

80/1

Fifth foal of dam who failed to make the track. Half-sister to a winner from 1m3 to 2m and may in time want more of a test.

Form:

(2)

Casilli¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby

40/1

Took a step forward from debut when fifth at Redcar over 6f last month and though that form has taken a few knocks he is open to improvement though it may be in handicaps after this.

Form: 75

(14)

Champagne Fountain²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

100/1

No sign of ability at huge prices in pair of maidens and easy to look elsewhere on that evidence.

Form: 09

(6)

Elixir Vitae

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Nick Barratt-Atkin⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife

150/1

First foal of dam who did win from 6f to 1m although yard not associated with debut winners and only of interest if market speaks positively.

Form:

(9)

Habanero Star³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 68| BF

11/1

Shaped with promise when third on debut at Yarmouth but possible that her second start came too soon as that was a tame effort in comparison (3L behind Vitare). Looks worth another chance following a little break since.

Form: 34

(3)

Henet²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: L A Mullaney

200/1

80/1 and always on the back foot on Thirsk debut last month over 6f last month and needs dramatic improvement to play a part.

Form: 0

Forecasts

Rebel Soldier Boy (10/11), Vitare (5/2), My Friend Stan (6/1), Habanero Star (11/1), Tagovailoa (14/1), Trumpets Call (25/1), Casilli (40/1), Joe's Way (50/1), Another Bond (80/1), Luvi's Little Bro (80/1), Champagne Fountain (100/1), Dylan's Lad (125/1), Elixir Vitae (150/1), Henet (200/1)

A weak contest and with the likes of Vitare and My Friend Stan not progressing it may be best to side with REBEL SOLDIER BOY who was close to getting off the mark on first attempt at this trip last week. Habanero Star may do better after a bit of a break and she could prove to be the principal threat.
