Island Bandit²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: H Main

15/8

Little to shout about on debut but proved a totally different proposition when causing a 125/1 shock in a Newbury maiden (7f) in August, putting experience to good use. Possibilities under a penalty.

Form: 01

(6)

Don Bekar¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Louis Steward| T: Ian Williams

150/1

40,000 gns 2-y-o, Vancouver colt. Easy to back and ultimately looked one for the longer-term when last of 11 in a Ffos Las maiden (7.3f) recently.

Form: 0

(8)

Fast Forward¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: A King

80/1

Recorder colt who has finished nearer last than first in 2 starts at up to 7.3f to date. In good hands though, and another one likely for later on.

Form: 00

Internal Conflict

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: R Hannon

12/1

Foaled May 7. £32,000 yearling, Highland Reel colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 7f/1m winner King's Harlequin. Dam 5f winner. Makes some appeal on paper and worth a second look on debut.

Snapcracklepop¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick

12/1

Acclamation gelding who was equipped with a hood/tongue tie for debut and no more than hinted at ability when ninth in a Sandown maiden (7f) in August.

Form: 9

(2)

User Kindly¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell

7/2

Golden Horn filly who showed ability amidst greenness when third of 5 in a Yarmouth novice (7f) recently, weakening 1f out. Rates a likely improver with that under her belt.

Form: 3

(5)

Wind Your Neck In⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: P D Evans

2/1

Appeals on paper and he showed promise when third in a C&D minor event on debut 8 days ago, running green but staying on. That experience won't have been wasted on him and one to consider here.

Form: 3

(7)

Jack Darcy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: P & O ColeWS

11/1

Foaled April 30. 24,000 gns Gleneagles half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¾m-2m winner Vis A Vis and 1m winner Progression. Undergone wind surgery ahead of debut. Betting should guide.

Sparkling Affair⁵²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: George Downing| T: J W Mullins

200/1

Big prices and failed to beat a rival in pair of turf/AW minor events at 6f for Mark Pattinson earlier this term. Low-grade handicaps may be more his bag for new yard moving forward.

Form: 98

Forecasts

Island Bandit (15/8), Wind Your Neck In (2/1), User Kindly (7/2), Jack Darcy (11/1), Snapcracklepop (12/1), Internal Conflict (12/1), Fast Forward (80/1), Don Bekar (150/1), Sparkling Affair (200/1)

WIND YOUR NECK IN proved very easy to back but shaped with plenty of promise nevertheless when third in a C&D minor event on debut 8 days ago, displaying greenness but keeping on for a place. He promises to come forward for that effort and earns the vote, possibly at the chief expense of Newbury-scorer Island Bandit. Newcomer Internal Conflict and User Kindly complete the shortlist.
