Arceus²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: M Appleby

15/2

25/1, third of 8 in minor event at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago. Open to progress and should have a part to play in the finish.

Form: 3

(11)

Bert Kibbler^t1¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: T D Barron

50/1

28/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Catterick (5f, heavy) on debut 11 days ago. That experience won't be wasted on him and likely to do better in time. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Form: 7

(4)

Faustus¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: R M H Cowell

11/2

40/1, fifth of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Positives to glean from that effort and improvement should be forthcoming.

Form: 5

(6)

Shalaa Asker⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: A Keatley

16/1

Twice-raced maiden. 5/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Redcar (6f, heavy) 7 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Drop back in trip looks a good move and claims judged on debut effort.

Form: 30

(10)

Althumama Line

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: H Kobeissi

16/1

Foaled January 21. €11,000 yearling, Mehmas filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 9f-13f winner Right Connection. Probably best watched.

Form:

Atiyah²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R P Downey| T: T D Barron

22/1

40/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at this C&D on debut 25 days ago. Will need to take a significant step forward if she's to play a leading role here.

Form: 6

(8)

Beautiful News¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: W J Haggas

5/4

Twice-raced maiden. 6/1, second of 10 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Drop to minimum trip looks a good move and she's the one to beat.

Form: 72

(5)

Blissful Song¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears

33/1

Last of 12 in minor event at Beverley (5f, good, 11/1) on debut 18 days ago. Hard to warm to on the back of that display.

Form: 0

(1)

Enoughisgoodenough²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon

6/1

Seventh of 12 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good, 16/1) on debut 27 days ago. Will be more street-wise this time and she's another who will probably benefit from this drop to 5f.

Form: 7

(3)

Iesha

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: E J Walsh| T: J M Bradley

250/1

Foaled March 1. Cable Bay filly. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner) out of useful 1m winner Silky Dawn. Doesn't appeal as a prospective first-time-out winner.

Form:

(2)

Moonshiner¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: T Ward

17/2

Twice-raced maiden. 9/2, third of 12 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Place possibilities.

Form: 73

Forecasts

Beautiful News (5/4), Faustus (11/2), Enoughisgoodenough (6/1), Arceus (15/2), Moonshiner (17/2), Shalaa Asker (16/1), Althumama Line (16/1), Atiyah (22/1), Blissful Song (33/1), Bert Kibbler (50/1), Iesha (250/1)

It would be no surprise to see ENOUGHISGOODENOUGH leave her Windsor debut effort well behind, given her connections, pedigree and hefty price tag. She was notably weak in the betting ahead of that first run and it will look significant if the opposite proves to be true this time. Beautiful News improved when second at that Berkshire venue recently and she is next on the list ahead of Arceus.
