(4)

Exminster²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell

2/1

£22,000 Ribchester colt who was strong in betting and duly made a successful debut in a Redcar novice (7f) last month. Green on hitting the front then and highly likely there's better to come.

Form: 1

(5)

Knight Rider⁶⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: K P De Foy

7/2

Twice-raced maiden who showed fair form at best in 2 starts for Joseph Tuite, latterly when fourth at Beverley (7.4f) in June. Switched yards for 22,000 gns since and further progress not ruled out.

Form: 64

(3)

Allen Key⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

3/1

Mastercraftsman colt who is bred to be useful and offered something to work on when fifth in 6-runner Sandown maiden (1m) on debut 9 days ago. Entitled to do better with that under his belt.

Form: 5

(2)

Mister Camacho²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harrison Shaw| T: M & D Easterby

11/2

Camacho gelding. 22/1, 2 lengths fourth of 10 to Exminster in minor event at Redcar (7f, good to firm) on debut 27 days ago. Another open to progress with that run behind him.

Form: 4

(1)

Alpine Lady¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: J Tate

9/1

Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 18 days ago, finding less than looked likely. However, debut effort did contain promise so bounce back not ruled out.

Form: 49

(6)

Never No Trouble¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls

16/1

Time Test filly who showed ability amidst greenness when midfield in a Catterick maiden (7f) 11 days ago, not clear run over 1f out and never involved. Type to do better, particularly as a 3-y-o.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Exminster (2/1), Allen Key (3/1), Knight Rider (7/2), Mister Camacho (11/2), Alpine Lady (9/1), Never No Trouble (16/1)

EXMINSTER was strong in the betting and impressed in making a winning debut in a Redcar novice (7f) 4 weeks ago, despite running green when hitting the front. There's undoubtedly more to come and he can concede weight all round and make it 2-2. Allen Key and Mister Camacho, who was behind the selection last time, head up the dangers.
