Minnesota Lad

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

11/1

Foaled March 21. €31,000 yearling, Sioux Nation colt. Dam maiden (stayed 7f) out of half-sister to high-class sprinter Peniaphobia. Yard can ready a newcomer so worth a check in the betting for clues.

Rock Opera

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey

18/1

Foaled March 20. £20,000 yearling, Unfortunately colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 7f Broughtons Gold and 2-y-o 5.3f-7f winner Diamond Pursuit. Betting may prove a useful guide as one of 3 runners for this yard.

Courtnbowled^t⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. 200/1 and blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 9 in minor event at Ripon (5f, good) 9 days ago. Can only be watched with the blinkers discarded now.

Form: 77

Howyadoin¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

16/1

Dragon Pulse colt who didn't go without promise when fifth of 11 in a C&D novice event on debut 3 weeks ago. Entitled to have derived plenty from that but operating from a less-than-ideal draw.

Form: 5

(2)

Let's Go Hugo¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: Ollie Pears

7/1

Unfortunately gelding who is bred to be sharp and ran to a fair level when 4 lengths fourth of 11 in a C&D novice 3 weeks ago. Handy draw to work from and he's worth a look with likelihood of more to come.

Form: 4

Rogue Spirit

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover

5/2

Foaled March 31. 11,000 gns yearling, Dark Angel colt. Dam, ran twice, closely related to very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Galactic Star and smart 1½m-2m winner (stayed 21.5f) El Salvador. Yard has enjoyed success with its juveniles and he's respected.

West By East

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

33/1

Foaled April 30. £7,500 yearling, Washington Dc colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Youthful King. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner (should have been suited by further than 1m). Market should prove a useful guide on debut.

Bara Lacha¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara

4/1

Mondialiste filly who produced a fairly promising first effort when keeping on well for third under hands-and-heels riding in a C&D novice 11 days ago. Rates a likely improver with that under her belt.

Form: 3

(5)

Breath Catcher¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison

8/1

3,500 gns yearling, Bated Breath filly. Showed ability amid some greenness when midfield in 14-runner C&D novice event 11 days ago. Should come on for that effort and handy draw to work from.

Form: 6

(11)

Fomo

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty

100/1

Foaled February 12. €8,500 yearling, Fountain of Youth filly. Dam 5f/6f winner (including at 2 yrs). Probably best watched on debut.

Form:

Go Bunny

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: Ollie Pears

100/1

Foaled January 18. €4,500 yearling, National Defense filly. Dam, third at 1½m in France, closely related to smart winner up to 9f (includiing Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere) Ultra.

Form:

Mersea¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: Grant Tuer

7/2

Born To Sea filly out of a French 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Clearly learning as the race wore on when fifth in a C&D novice 11 days ago (meeting trouble final 1f and finishing with running left). Interesting with Ben Curtis booked.

Form: 5

(13)

Snow Girl¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan

66/1

Foaled May 5. Washington Dc filly. Dam sprint maiden half-sister to useful winner up to 6f Autumn Pearl. Easy to back but showed a bit despite finishing ninth of 11 in a C&D event on debut 3 weeks ago. Will need to step up a good deal to feature, though.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Rogue Spirit (5/2), Mersea (7/2), Bara Lacha (4/1), Let's Go Hugo (7/1), Breath Catcher (8/1), Minnesota Lad (11/1), Howyadoin (16/1), Rock Opera (18/1), West By East (33/1), Snow Girl (66/1), Fomo (100/1), Go Bunny (100/1), Courtnbowled (150/1)

Those with previous form don't set a tall standard and it may pay to side with a newcomer in the shape of ROGUE SPIRIT. He makes some appeal on paper for a yard that has got off to a smashing start this term. Let's Go Hugo ran to a fair level when fourth in a C&D event on debut 3 weeks ago and can figure along with Mersea. Minnesota Lad may emerge best of the trio of Richard Fahey representatives.
