Broxi²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S A Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 86| D

28/1

Has quickly upped his game, winning brace of 7f events at Musselburgh in good style under this rider last month. This is clearly tougher but further progress couldn't be ruled out.

Form: 7311

Cloudbridge¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| D

1/1

Looked a fine prospect as he made a winning start at Leicester (7f) earlier this month, keeping on well and clocking a good time. Plenty more to come from him and leading claims.

Form: 1

(7)

Darvel³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K A Ryan| OR: 85

7/1

Again well backed and left his debut form behind when winning 6f Ayr novice with a bit in hand. Clearly well regarded and respected for yard which does so well with 2-y-os at this meeting.

Form: 41

Gear Up²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston| CD

9/1

Played up beforehand but did everything right on track when winning C&D novice auction under this rider on debut last month. Course experience won't be lost on him and he likely has more to offer.

Form: 1

Praise Of Shadows^t⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: B A Curtis| T: M Botti| D

12/1

Made a fine start fitted with tongue tie when readily winning 7f Chester novice under this rider last week. More to come.

Form: 1

Royal Scimitar³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

9/2

Made winning start in pleasing fashion in 6f Newbury novice last month, travelling well and readily coming clear. That form has been franked and he'll improve. Likely type.

Form: 1

Spycatcher²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke

20/1

Showed plenty to work on after a nightmare start in 6f Redcar novice on debut, almost coming down leaving the stalls but staying on gradually by the end. Big leap up here but should improve.

Form: 4

(3)

Titan Rock¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 85| D

20/1

Sharper for debut but still had to overcome some lingering inexperience to prevail in 7f Glorious Goodwood maiden 18 days ago, asserting close home. There could be a bit more to come from him.

Form: 41

Forecasts

Cloudbridge (1/1), Royal Scimitar (9/2), Darvel (7/1), Gear Up (9/1), Praise Of Shadows (12/1), Spycatcher (20/1), Titan Rock (20/1), Broxi (28/1)

CLOUDBRIDGE looked a fine prospect when winning on debut at Leicester earlier this month, form that has been franked, and he surely has more to offer for Godolphin. He could take some stopping. Royal Scimitar and Darvel are feared most, while Gear Up brings winning C&D form to the table and may also be set for another big run.
