Smeaton's Light¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon

16/1

Twice-raced gelding. Ninth of 14 in minor event (11/1) at Newcastle (6f). Off 6 months and he'll probably be seen in a better light when going down the handicap route.

Form: 59-

Bobby On The Beat⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 74| BF

5/1

Fair gelding. Respectable third of 14 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 7/2) 47 days ago. Should give it a good shot, but may again find one of two too good nonetheless.

Form: 34224-3

(4)

Lost My Sock¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74

2/1

Lightly-raced gelding. Good third of 13 in handicap (7/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Reproduction of that effort should see him go close.

Form: 3343-3

(11)

El Dorado Spirit²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

200/1

Once-raced gelding. 25/1, last of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Hard to make a case for on the back of that display.

Form: 9

(13)

Frog And Toad

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: D O'MearaWS

33/1

€20,000 yearling, Mehmas gelding. Dam 1½m winner. Has undergone a wind op ahead of this debut and jockey bookings suggest that Morty is the stable first-string.

Form:

Akkeringa²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: S C Williams

5/1

Twice-raced gelding. 10/1, third of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 28 days ago, slowly away. Entitled to progress and should have a part to play if able to build on that back on turf.

Form: 0-3

(6)

Morty

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara

4/1

10,000 gns 2-y-o, Kingman gelding. Dam ungenuine 6f winner (including at 2 yrs) who stayed 1m. Seemingly the stable No 1 ahead of Frog And Toad and interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting.

Form:

(8)

Navajo Spring^p¹³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: M Dods| OR: 67

28/1

Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. 9/1, fifth of 8 in nursery at Newcastle (6f), not ideally placed. Off 135 days and there's an air of vulnerability about her.

Form: 402425-

(2)

French Red⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine

250/1

Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 12 in minor event (250/1) at Newcastle (6f) 46 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 9-6

(5)

Runninwild

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: F Norton| T: Mrs A Duffield

50/1

Fountain of Youth gelding. Closely related to 1¼m winner Royal Countess. Dam, maiden (best form at 5f), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Josh. Probably best watched on debut.

Form:

(10)

White Aime

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Appleby

125/1

1,500 gns 3-y-o, Brazen Beau gelding. Dam unraced out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner Dhanyata. Doesn't appeal as a likely first-time-out winner on paper.

Form:

(12)

Electric Love⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁵⁾| T: Tom Clover

9/2

Promising sort. Second of 13 in maiden (6/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 63 days ago, left poorly placed. Likely to improve and should make a bold bid to go one better here.

Form: 2

(1)

Naughty Ana²⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby

100/1

Once-raced filly. 11/1, ninth of 12 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on debut. Off 8 months and she's another who will be of greater interest in handicaps later on.

Form: 9-

Forecasts

Lost My Sock (2/1), Morty (4/1), Electric Love (9/2), Akkeringa (5/1), Bobby On The Beat (5/1), Smeaton's Light (16/1), Navajo Spring (28/1), Frog And Toad (33/1), Runninwild (50/1), Naughty Ana (100/1), White Aime (125/1), El Dorado Spirit (200/1), French Red (250/1)

The form of the 7.2f Wolverhampton maiden in which AKKERINGA was third last month has subsequently received a couple of boosts and, with this drop back in trip likely to help unlock further improvement, he could be the answer. Electric Love shaped with promise on her introduction at the aforementioned course and she is feared, along with Lost My Sock and likely-looking newcomer Morty.
