Zamaani¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 97| D

4/7

Improved with each of his four starts confirming the progress made in his initial win at Windsor (form given a couple of boosts) when taking a Goodwood 6f nursery. Second from that race has already franked the form, fine chance of a hat-trick.

Form: 5211

Fools Rush In¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 83| D

15/2

Fighting a losing battle when chasing home a subsequent Group 2 winner at Windsor (third start) but showing promise/ability all the same. Didn't need to improve to go one better at Redcar (6f) last time, chance, but this is a tougher gig.

Form: 3021

(6)

Mystery Smiles¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: A M Balding

5/2

Overcame some inexperience when well backed to win a weak-looking Windsor 5.1f maiden on debut (fairly rare winning 2yo newcomer for the yard). This requires more although the fact that he won on debut for this yard on debut means he's respected.

Form: 1

(4)

Tom's Reign Beau¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

33/1

Made a big leap forward from his debut effort when proving much sharper at Beverley (5f) to get off the mark with a bit to spare. Well positioned in that event he's in a much deeper contest here, will do well to follow up against some smart sorts.

Form: 71

(2)

No Leci⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane

66/1

Cheekpieces worn for the first-time on his final run for Richard Spencer quickly dispensed with on stable debut. Showed more last time than he did on his debut suggesting he has ability but hard to suggest he's good enough to tackle this company.

Form: 73

Non-Runners

Regional¹⁸

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

T: R A Fahey J: T Hamilton

Forecasts

Zamaani (4/7), Mystery Smiles (5/2), Regional (11/2), Fools Rush In (15/2), Tom's Reign Beau (33/1), No Leci (66/1)

A decent contest with the hat-trick seeking ZAMAANI just edging the vote despite the fact that he has to concede weight all round. Both his last two wins have though been shown to be strong form with his Goodwood nursery win looking particularly decent (both second and third have won since). He won’t have things all his own way though with Regional also beating a subsequent scorer last time out when winning in good style at Pontefract he should be suited by this track/trip. Neither Mystery Smiles or Fools Rush In can be dismissed easily as both were last time out winners the former on debut from the Balding yard whose 2yo’s usually come on for their debut outings.
