Chalk Stream³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: W J Haggas

9/4

100/30, likely didn't achieve much when 9 lengths second of 4 on Yarmouth debut (third well beaten since) but he's from a top yard so clearly has the potential to improve.

Form: 2

16/1

€20,000 Make Believe half-brother to useful 9.4f winner Metier. Dam 1½m winner. In good hands and needs keeping an eye on in the market.

Hazalou

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: I Jardine

25/1

45,000 gns Nathaniel colt. Dam, useful 1m winner, half-sister to smart/temperamental 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 10.5f) Starscope. Betting should help guide to expectations on debut.

125/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, sixth of 9 in novice at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Unlikely to be of any interest until handicapping.

Mahomes^b¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden

7/2

Twice-raced maiden. Blinkered, offered more than on debut when third of 9 in novice at Bath (10.2f, good) 12 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: T D Easterby

10/1

40/1, seventh of 11 in novice at Haydock (1m, good) on debut 30 days ago. Looks more one for longer term.

Soapy Stevens¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

2/1

Promising debut when third of 11 in maiden at Nottingham (1m, soft) 12 days ago, rallying. Leading claims with improvement on the cards.

Carnival Craft

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: C & M Johnston

22/1

Mastercraftsman half-sister to winner up to 1m My Motivate Girl. Dam unraced. Needs a betting check but Soapy Stevens has to be considered the stable first string.

Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in novice at York (1m, soft, 33/1) 17 days ago. Has ability but possibly more one for handicaps.

150/1

100/1, green when ninth of 12 in novice at Newcastle (7f) on debut 31 days ago. Up in trip. Needs to leave that debut run well behind.

Forecasts

Soapy Stevens (2/1), Chalk Stream (9/4), Mahomes (7/2), Olympus (10/1), Doctor Parnassus (16/1), Carnival Craft (22/1), Hazalou (25/1), Ron O (28/1), Golden Dove (33/1), Lindwall (125/1), Where's Steph (150/1)

SOAPY STEVENS made an encouraging start to his career when third at Nottingham recently and can build on that with the slightly longer trip looking sure to be in his favour. Mahomes took a step forward with blinkers added last time and is the obvious main threat ahead of the William Haggas-trained Chalk Stream.
