Atheby²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

7/2

Cheap purchase from the Breeze-Ups but showed a bit when third in a Chelmsford maiden on debut and far from disgraced in Group 3 C&D, though bare form may flatter him. One to beat still.

Form: 35

2/1

Foaled February 4. Decorated Knight colt. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to high-class winner up to 2½m Order of St George. Yard 5-30 with 2-y-o newcomers this season. Likely type.

Dayman¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane

22/1

Oasis Dream colt who attracted plenty of support in the morning but proved to be a disappointment when twelfth of 13 in novice (6/1) at Windsor (6f). Clearly thought capable of better.

Form: 0

Holiday³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon

11/2

Time Test colt who was set a stiff task on debut and duly struggled when 18¾ lengths last of 6 to Masekela in listed race at Newbury (7f, good). Should make much more of an impact here.

Form: 6

Wodeton

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

13/8

Foaled March 22. £100,000 2-y-o, Wootton Bassett half-brother to smart winner up to 1m Salateen. Dam, 9.3f-13f winner, also won over hurdles. Yard 7-45 with 2-y-o newcomers this season. One to note.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: L A Dace

200/1

Fountain of Youth colt. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Offered little in novice event at Lingfield (6f, AW, 100/1) on debut 25 days ago.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Wodeton (13/8), Damaar (2/1), Atheby (7/2), Holiday (11/2), Gatecrasher Girl (7/1), Dayman (22/1), Youthful King (200/1), Torious (200/1)

ATHEBY might be flattered by the bare form when fifth of 6 in the Solario Stakes over C&D last month but still rates the one to beat back in a novice. Well-connected newcomers Damaar and Wodeton are likely threats, while Holiday should do better having been set a stiff task on debut.
