(12)

Whitefeathersfall²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 86| BF

28/1

Left debut form behind when touched off in a novice at Haydock on his penultimate run and, while he was disappointing at Epsom subsequently, it's too soon to write him off.

Form: 422

(1)

Adjuvant¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: R L Moore| T: M L W Bell| OR: 85| D

3/1

Has overcome signs of greenness to score cosily on his first two starts, well on top at the finish when defying a penalty in a novice at Salisbury. Makes obvious appeal on nursery bow.

Form: 11

(2)

Ardbraccan¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 85| D

16/1

Lawman filly who has improved with each run to date and showed determination to open her account at Newmarket over this trip 19 days ago. Likely to do better still on nursery debut.

Form: 821

(9)

Aswan¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 84| BF

13/2

Runner-up the last twice and, while he did little wrong when narrowly denied in a maiden at Epsom last time, he's proving consistent rather than progressive up to now.

Form: 422

(3)

Robasta²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 82

5/1

Fairly useful colt who gained a deserved first success on nursery debut at Ascot 20 days ago. Should get this longer trip, so warrants respect after a rise.

Form: 23201

(8)

South Audley³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 82

18/1

Off the mark at the third attempt in comfortable style in maiden at Nottingham last time, just pushed out. More required in this competitive environment but he arrives on an upward curve.

Form: 731

(5)

Highland Premiere²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 81| D

11/2

Improving colt who has won his last two, seemingly relishing the longer trip when readily accounting for 4-rivals in 7f nursery at Catterick 22 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 4311

(14)

Bastogne²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 81| BF

50/1

Improved from debut when winning 12-runner maiden at Leicester but disappointed at odds on at Ayr subsequently. Others make more appeal.

Form: 313

(13)

Already Gone¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: J F Egan| T: J S Moore| OR: 78| D

14/1

Lightly-raced colt who opened his account on nursery debut at Leicester a fortnight ago. That form is working out well, so likely to give another good account in a slightly stronger race.

Form: 5031

(7)

Favourite Child³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 76

33/1

Doubled her tally with a career best in a 9-runner novice at Pontefract (6f, good) 39 days ago. Opening mark seems reasonable and she's a straightforward type, so should be thereabouts.

Form: 4141

(11)

Blue Collar Lad³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: R Brisland| OR: 75

66/1

Scored at Bath on debut but hasn't really kicked on from that and his latest run in a novice at Salisbury was a bit disappointing. Vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

Form: 1384

(6)

Aldbourne²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A M Balding| OR: 72

16/1

Just modest form in three runs to date but might have finished a bit closer with a clear run when fourth at Epsom last time. Opening mark looks pretty stiff.

Form: 054

(10)

Mayfair Stroll⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 65| D

13/2

Left previous form behind when bolting up in an 8-runner nursery at Lingfield 8 days ago and she's well in under a penalty, so could take some stopping if the race doesn't come too soon.

Form: 8521

Non-Runners

Vaynor²⁸

Weight: 8-3| Age: 2

T: C Hills J: S De Sousa

(15)

T: George Scott J: Ray Dawson

Forecasts

Adjuvant (3/1), Robasta (5/1), Highland Premiere (11/2), Aswan (13/2), Mayfair Stroll (13/2), Already Gone (14/1), Ardbraccan (16/1), Aldbourne (16/1), South Audley (18/1), Vaynor (25/1), Whitefeathersfall (28/1), Favourite Child (33/1), Chanson D'Amour (33/1), Bastogne (50/1), Blue Collar Lad (66/1)

ADJUVANT was decisively on top when defying a penalty in a novice at Salisbury earlier in the month and, in a wide-open race, he gets the marginal vote to maintain his unbeaten record. A number of fellow last-time-out winners rank as dangers, with Mayfair Stroll and Highland Premiere the most notable.
