May Blossom^v¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| D

9/2

Fair filly. Latest win at Beverley in July. Respectable fourth of 9 in minor event (9/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago. Looks vulnerable conceding weight all round.

9/4

Twice-raced winner. 7/2, won 10-runner minor event at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 49 days ago, staying on well. Remains open to improvement and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 21

Chant For More²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley

100/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 13 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good to firm, 66/1) 20 days ago. Needs to find a sizeable jolt of improvement from somewhere.

Form: 80

Firebomb⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 73| BF

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Below form fifth of 11 in nursery at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 4/1) 51 days ago. Still, gelded since and will be a danger to all if able to get back on track here.

Form: 72225

Suanni²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 69

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, third of 7 in maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Ought to pick up a race before long, but may again find one or two too good on this occasion.

Form: 353

(8)

Van Zant¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr

18/1

Twice-raced maiden. Second of 9 in minor event (125/1) at this course (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. That represented a big step forward compared to his low-key debut and he needs considering.

Form: 02

Macon Belle²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: E De Giles| OR: 73| BF

10/3

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 13 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good to firm, 3/1) 20 days ago, slowly away. Runner-up at Bath on her first 2 starts and she'll be a threat if getting away on terms.

Form: 224

(7)

Queen Spirit

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods

22/1

Foaled March 11. Tagula filly. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to smart 5f winner Primo Uomo. Yard can ready a newcomer and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Forecasts

Le Beau Garcon (9/4), Firebomb (3/1), Macon Belle (10/3), May Blossom (9/2), Suanni (12/1), Van Zant (18/1), Queen Spirit (22/1), Chant For More (100/1)

There should be better to come from LE BEAU GARCON, who confirmed his debut promise when landing a Beverley novice in ready fashion. He is taken to follow up. Despite below par last-time-out efforts, Firebomb and Macon Belle both merit the utmost respect, particularly the former. Van Zant may also have a part to play if building on his recent effort here and Queen Spirit needs a market check.
