Clifford¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: M R Channon

11/2

Rule Of The World colt who improved markedly on debut effort without looking the finished article when runner-up in a Brighton minor event (7f) recently, keeping on well. May do better again.

Form: 92

(4)

Honest Lawyer

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

15/2

Foaled May 5. £7,000 yearling, Belardo gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 7f winner Iptisam and 1¼m winner Counterfeiter. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner. One to note on debut for good yard.

Form:

(9)

Moonbi¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby

25/1

Once-raced gelding. 18/1, showed a bit when sixth of 10 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good) on debut 18 days ago. This should reveal more but others make more appeal.

Form: 6

Revoquable⁴⁸

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

12/1

Once-raced colt. 40/1, tenth of 17 in maiden at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) on debut 48 days ago, missing break. Likely type for nurseries further down the line.

Form: 0

Taj Alola

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

9/2

Foaled February 13. £10,000 2-y-o, El Kabeir colt. Half-brother to winner abroad by Fulbright. Dam unraced. Yard adept at readying a newcomer so well worth a check in betting ahead of debut for clues.

Form:

(3)

Timbukone⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish

13/2

Once-raced colt. Seventh of 8 in minor event (14/1) at Ayr (6f, good to firm) on debut 49 days ago, shaping as if in need of the experience. May well come on for that run.

Form: 7

(1)

Better Half

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston

5/1

Foaled May 2. Bobby's Kitten half-sister to 1¼m winner Bedale. Dam, 2-y-o 5f/5.5f winner, half-sister to top-class winner upto 1½m Bago and very smart winner upto 1¼m Maxios. Very interesting newcomer

Coligone Kate³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears

11/2

Garswood filly who shaped with a little encouragement when sixth of 8 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, good) on debut 31 days ago, without being given a hard time. Likely improver.

Form: 6

(5)

Roystan Girl^p²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J S Moore| OR: 70

13/2

Lightly-raced filly. 11/4, below form third of 7 in maiden at Windsor (5.1f, soft) 23 days ago. Experience should count for plenty though, and return to quicker ground may help.

Form: 63523

Forecasts

Taj Alola (9/2), Better Half (5/1), Coligone Kate (11/2), Clifford (11/2), Timbukone (13/2), Roystan Girl (13/2), Honest Lawyer (15/2), Revoquable (12/1), Moonbi (25/1)

Those with previous form don't set a tall standard and it may pay to side with newcomer BETTER HALF. She makes plenty of appeal for a yard that excels with their juveniles and it would come as no surprise to see a bold showing. Roystan Girl boasts plenty of experience and can feature. Coligone Kate and Clifford complete the shortlist.
