(9)

Alablaq²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: E A L Dunlop

7/2

Lope De Vega colt. Shaped with real promise and ran creditably when 1L second on debut over C&D earlier this month. Looks set to go well once more. Leading claims.

Form: 2

(5)

Albasheer

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: Owen Burrows

17/2

Homebred. Dam was Listed placed and winner over 1m2f and a sister to 1m4f winner Estedamaa. US graded winners also in pedigree line closely related to the great Nashwan. Taking pedigree. Market check advised.

Form:

(2)

Athers

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: E J Walsh| T: R Varian

8/1

320,000 gns purchase. Brother to Group 2 miler Aljamaaheer, Lolanta (1m) and half-brother to Tinkertown (1m). Dam a winner over 1m2f and debutantes for this yard aren't to be underestimated.

Form:

(4)

Clansman

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

33/1

80,000 gns yearling. Closely related to 2m hurdle winner Colenso. Half-brother to several winners including Sparkling Beam (1m2f) and Born In Bombay (1m). Not the most taking pedigree and set to do better over further.

Form:

(8)

Grigora

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan

22/1

41,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to five winners including Sirrin (1m6f), Sinkal (1m2f) and SIndjara (1m). Dam a 7f winner so looks likely to be longer term prospect.

Form:

(10)

Lost In Space¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 81| BF

11/8

Smartly bred sort. who is improving with racing. Bettered debut effort when beaten a head by smart sort at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last time out. Every chance he can go on further again. Claims.

Form: 42

(7)

Meant Two B⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane

125/1

Cheaply bought son of Markaz and didn't show much on debut when 36L 10th at Lingfield (6f) last month. Form is not good enough and is easily passed over.

Form: 0

(3)

Oh So Risque²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: D Shaw

500/1

Hombred by Outstrip. Sent off 200/1 for debut over C&D and ran accordingly when tailed off last of eight. Very little to inspire claims in this and is readily opposed.

Form: 8

(12)

Raadobarg

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

9/2

£200,000 yearling. Half-brother to useful yardstick Captain Dunne (5f), Group 2 winner Classic Blade (6f). Pedigree suggests there is plenty of speed but must be noted.

Form:

(13)

Serious Intention²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey

28/1

Kodiac colt. Raced with the principles but weakened quite tamely when sixth of seven on debut at Haydock (6f) earlier this month. This requires plenty more.

Form: 6

(11)

Tom Mix

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado

125/1

Homebred. Half-brother to winners Eternal Sun (5f), Emiliano Zapata (1m) and Arabgold (6f in Italy). Continental profile but suggests he might not be up to much in this.

Form:

(6)

Under Fox³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

80/1

Not a cheap purchase as a yearling and was fancied to go well before tame 13L defeat on debut in 6f Redcar novice. Steps up in trip but has a bit to find on that evidence.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Lost In Space (11/8), Alablaq (7/2), Raadobarg (9/2), Arsonist (7/1), Athers (8/1), Albasheer (17/2), Grigora (22/1), Serious Intention (28/1), Clansman (33/1), Under Fox (80/1), Tom Mix (125/1), Meant Two B (125/1), Oh So Risque (500/1)

A smart type may be unearthed in this contest and the preference is for experience with LOST IN SPACE. The juvenile was narrowly denied at Salisbury by a very smart type last time and if he follows his profile in suggesting more improvement is to come, he could be very hard to beat. Alablaq possesses a similar profile and would be the main danger, given he has already shown his aptitude for this C&D, while debutantes Albasheer and Athers have top-level form in their pedigrees and hail from yard who can ready them for their first runs.
