Aleas²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

3/1

Archipenko gelding who showed plenty to work on when close-up second on debut in a Salisbury minor event (1m) 3 weeks ago. Underfoot conditions no problem and respected with more to come.

Big Boy Bobby³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton

16/1

Vadamos gelding who showed something to work amidst greenness when eighth of 11 in a Kempton novice (7f) in September, making late headway without being knocked about. Sure to improve.

Form: 8

Dancing Master²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: R A Teal

250/1

Well held both starts at up to 1m this year and likely type for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 00

Downsman¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle

80/1

Last of 12 on debut at Salisbury (7f) but left that form in his wake when fourth in an 8-runner Goodwood minor contest (9f, heavy) 12 days ago. Needs to build on that again.

Form: 04

(2)

Keeper

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: H & R Charlton

5/1

Foaled April 19. Frankel colt. Closely related to useful winner up to 1¼m Dissolution and half-brother to several winners, including very smart 1m winner Set Piece. Dam 7f winner. Market should guide.

Form:

Kelmscott

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: D Menuisier

14/1

Foaled April 12. 60,000 gns yearling, Mastercraftsman brother to 1m-1¼m winner Zaro and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 7f winner Zerostress. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner.

Langafel²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore

200/1

Fast Company gelding who was sent off at 66/1 and offered little on debut in a Salisbury novice (1m) at the start of the month. Passed over here.

Form: 0

(4)

Soyuz

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: S Dow

80/1

Foaled April 24. Sea The Moon colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 2-y-o 7f winner Measuring Time and smart 6f-11f winner Divine Unicorn. Probably best watched on racecourse debut.

Form:

(13)

Tajdid²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

66/1

Toronado colt who was easy to back and ultimately held back by inexperience when well beaten eighth in a Salisbury novice (1m, soft) 3 weeks ago. One for the longer term.

Form: 8

(9)

Taraashoq

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas

9/2

Foaled February 6. £170,000 yearling, Maxios colt. Dam unraced half-sister to 6f winner Ten Meropa. Trainer’s newcomers always command a second look.

Form:

(5)

Tasman Bay

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: Sir M Todd

28/1

Foaled March 10. €220,000 yearling, Le Havre colt. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Palmyre and 1m/8.2f winner Alzire, both useful in France. Makes appeal on paper so worth a check in the betting for clues.

Form:

(1)

Title

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

12/1

Foaled April 29. €175,000 yearling, Camelot colt. Closely related to smart 1½m-1¾m winner Viking Storm and half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 1m winner Yesterdayoncemore. Dam unraced.

Form:

Wallem¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding

3/1

Sea The Moon colt who showed fairly useful form when coming clear with another attractively-bred sort in a Leicester novice (8.2f, heavy) 10 days ago. No reason why he won't step forward and claims.

Form: 2

(12)

Wicklow¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: T Ward| OR: 80

15/2

Twilight Son colt who confirmed promise of his Goodwood debut when 2 lengths third in a stronger race at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 16 days ago. Sound each-way claims again on that evidence.

Form: 43

Forecasts

Aleas (3/1), Wallem (3/1), Taraashoq (9/2), Keeper (5/1), Wicklow (15/2), Title (12/1), Kelmscott (14/1), Marselan (14/1), Big Boy Bobby (16/1), Tasman Bay (28/1), Tajdid (66/1), Downsman (80/1), Soyuz (80/1), Langafel (200/1), Dancing Master (250/1)

ALEAS showed plenty when runner-up on debut in a 1m Salisbury novice 3 weeks ago and, with further progress almost certainly on the cards, he's fancied to go one place better. Wallem similarly made a good impression on debut and can put it up to the selection, whilst newcomers Taraashoq, Keeper and Title are worthy of a check in the betting for clues.
