Nankeen²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 84| BF

1/2

Built on Windsor debut victory with excellent second in 1m Nottingham novice later in May. Has 7-month absence to overcome but he rates the clear form pick. Big player.

Form: 12

(5)

Here At Night¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: A W Carroll

250/1

Twice-raced maiden, 200/1 when only sixth of 7 here (7.2f) 14 days ago. Up in trip with work to do.

Form: 96

(6)

Mutalaaqy

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: A Carson

50/1

3,000 gns 3-y-o, Dark Angel gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful duo at up to 1m Mukalal and Qawaasem. Dam 7f winner. Appeals on paper, but market can prove a good indicator.

Form:

(2)

Wabbal¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

28/1

Twice-raced maiden, and he still looked in need of experience when sixth of 7 in minor event (25/1) here (9.5f) 12 days ago. Sort to do better in the longer term.

Form: 46

(7)

Bold Spectrum

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Angus Villiers⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle

150/1

Assertive filly. Dam unraced. Other newcomers appeal more on this occasion.

Natalie Rose⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: W Jarvis

22/1

40/1, seventh of 10 in maiden here (9.5f) on her belated debut 42 days ago. Likely to do better once qualified for handicaps.

Form: 7

(4)

Eternal Summer

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

15/8

350,000 gns yearling, Kingman filly. Half-sister to several winners, including fair 7f/1m duo Cashla Bay and Al Messila. Dam 5f/6f winner. Plenty to like on breeding, and rates interesting newcomer.

Forecasts

Nankeen (1/2), Eternal Summer (15/8), Natalie Rose (22/1), Wabbal (28/1), Mutalaaqy (50/1), Bold Spectrum (150/1), Here At Night (250/1)

NANKEEN looked a useful prospect in his two turf runs in the spring so is fancied to defy a 7-month lay-off and go in at the first time of asking on tapeta. The Gosden's well-related Kingman newcomer Eternal Summer rates much the biggest threat, especially if the market speaks in her favour, with Natalie Rose appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
