Lovely Breeze²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 80| D

11/8

Promising sort. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 14-runner maiden at Kempton (7f, 15/8) 25 days ago. Sets a good standard even under a penalty and open to further improvement.

Form: 31

Bullace²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

11/10

Toronado colt. Dam 7f winner (including at 2 yrs). Promising individual. 16/1, second of 7 in minor event at Sandown (7f, good) on debut 24 days ago, not ideally placed. Likely to improve.

Form: 2

40/1, last of 5 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good) on debut. Off 113 days. Hard to make a case for.

150/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at this C&D 20 days ago. Likely to need time and distance.

Form: 606

Totem¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

22/1

Charm Spirit gelding. Closely related to useful 7f winner Shawaamekh. 40/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 18 days ago. Needs a big step forward.

Form: 6

Glyndebourne

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

4/1

Foaled March 31. Teofilo filly. Half-sister to several winners, including very smart 1¼m-12.3f winner Debussy and very smart 1m/8.5f winner Laugh Aloud. Dam 2-y-o 9f winner. Interesting newcomer.

Forecasts

Bullace (11/10), Lovely Breeze (11/8), Glyndebourne (4/1), Cable News (8/1), Totem (22/1), Pull The Strings (66/1), Performante (100/1), The Tide Turns (150/1), Ra Racer (150/1)

LOVELY BREEZE improved markedly to win at Kempton on her second start, and could well be up to defying a penalty. Glyndebourne is a well-bred newcomer and market support for her could prove significant. Bullace has a bit to find with the selection, but he's likely to come on for an encouraging debut.
