All Of The Lights

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: R Spencer

5/2

€19,000 foal; £35,000 yearling; seventh foal; half-brother to 7f AW winner After The Sunset and two Greek winners, out of a 1m2f-1m4f winner. Trainer in decent form and is 9% with 3yos over five seasons.

Ivahunch^h1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: P R Webber

66/1

Gelded prior to last month's debut, when he went off at 150-1 and his performance (never better than mid-division) reflected that. Hood goes on, but can only watch this time.

Form: 0

Nadia's Spirit¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J R Jenkins

125/1

Gelded prior to his debut at Windsor last month (1m, good to firm), when an 80-1 chance and always towards the rear. Much more needed.

Form: 9

Naval Commander¹³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: R Brisland| OR: 89

4/7

Went close when just ½L second on debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in February, and improved on that at Kempton the following month. Not seen since, but his form reads well in context and should be a contender on his turf debut.

Form: 24

Pope Gregory

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon

5/1

Brother to 1m/1m2f winner Dancin Boy; half-brother to two winners, the better being The Night Porter. Dam a multiple 7f winning half-sister to Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Samitar. Lovely pedigree. Trainer 12% with 3yos over five seasons.

Ring Of Gold

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: M & D Easterby

18/1

8,000gns yearling; first foal; dam dual bumper winner/placed 2m hurdle. Trainer 9% with turf 3yos over five seasons, though tends not to be associated with too many debut scorers.

Form:

Valletta Sunset¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett| T: Miss J Feilden

50/1

Has gone off at 100-1 on both starts and been well held each time. Latest effort was at least a slight positive, but looks one to watch until entering minor handicaps.

Form: 7-6

(11)

Sweet Angel²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado

33/1

Raced keenly on debut when a 50-1 chance and eventually beaten 18L at Newmarket (1m, soft) last month. Needs vast improvement on that to figure here.

Forecasts

Naval Commander (4/7), Pretty Pickle (1/1), All Of The Lights (5/2), Pope Gregory (5/1), Ring Of Gold (18/1), Sweet Angel (33/1), Windrush Song (33/1), Valletta Sunset (50/1), Ivahunch (66/1), Lakshmi Lola (66/1), Nadia's Spirit (125/1)

A moderate maiden where NAVAL COMMANDER looks to have solid claims of breaking his duck, after two promising runs to date. Pope Gregory looks a very interesting newcomer who could go well, while Pretty Pickle and debutant All Of The Lights are others who could make their presence felt.
