Mirage Mac¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: G Boughey

5/1

Good North American pedigree and she made the perfect start in similar event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 8/1) earlier this month, nosing in front late. Should improve and leading claims.

Form: 1

Haajoos¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden

4/9

13/2, shaped well on debut in 1m Kempton novice a fortnight ago, green but getting the hang of things final 1f. Sure to improve for top connections.

Form: 4

(5)

Lisdarragh²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: D J Coakley

33/1

25/1, little impression but not given at all a hard time in 6f Windsor novice on debut 3 weeks ago. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: 7

Parish Academy^h1⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: M F Harris

80/1

Has shown a bit in 7f/1m events at Lingfield and Salisbury and could do better when going handicapping. Hood tried here.

Form: 47

Rewired

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: D Menuisier

25/1

Foaled February 28. Half-brother to 13f winner Sea Art and 2m/16.2f winner Grey Mist. Dam, 13f/13.5f winner, half-sister to useful 9f/1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Casilda. Gelded and bred for further.

This Ones For Fred¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: P D Evans

17/2

Modest form in 6f/1m events, second on debut at Salisbury. Buick takes over and he should be up to winning something.

Form: 27

Dark Motive

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett

12/1

Foaled March 5. Motivator filly. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart 1½m winner Pollara. No surprise to see a big run on debut and a market move should be noted.

Scoop²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

16/1

12/1, well held on debut at Chelmsford (1m) 22 days ago, offering little. Yard knows the smart family well but she'll need to do a lot better.

Form: 7

Haajoos (4/9), Mirage Mac (5/1), This Ones For Fred (17/2), Dark Motive (12/1), Scoop (16/1), Rewired (25/1), Lisdarragh (33/1), Parish Academy (80/1), Vivid Imagination (200/1)

MIRAGE MAC hails from a yard whose juveniles have generally taken a sizeable step forward from their first to second runs this year, so the fact she made a winning debut at Wolverhampton bodes very well, and she looks up to defying a penalty if proving as good on turf. Haajoos made a promising start at Kempton and seems sure to improve also. Dark Motive is an interesting newcomer.
