Nayway²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: D Nolan| T: J Candlish

300/1

Nayef half-brother to 2m winner Noddies Way. Well held both starts in bumpers 7 months apart and easy enough to look elsewhere making debut in this sphere.

Our Jester¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: W Buick| T: H Morrison| BF

11/8

Useful dual bumper winner over the winter who shaped promisingly on debut in this sphere when second in a 4-runner Bath novice (11.6f) 16 days ago, rallying close home. No surprise to see him thereabouts again.

Form: 2

Tiger Jet⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison

66/1

Maiden hurdler who has filled the runner-up spot both starts in this sphere to date, latterly in a 6-runner Southwell novice (12f) in March. However, he'll need to step up again to play a lead role here. Handicaps likely more his bag.

Form: 22

Two Auld Pals²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: K Stott| T: J S Goldie

200/1

The Carbon Unit colt. Dam 8.4f winner. Thrown in at the deep end on debut and never figured when last of 6 in an Ascot listed event 3 weeks ago, flashing tail when ridden 3f out. This will reveal more.

Form: 6

Nicholas George⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy

7/2

Reliable Man colt who confirmed AW debut promise when running out a ready winner of a Redcar novice (10f) on return in April. Rates a useful prospect and he's worth a second look with the prospect of more to come.

Form: 2-1

Hello Jumeirah²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 84

11/4

Golden Horn filly who impressed when landing Kempton maiden (11f) on debut in April. Probably best not judged too harshly on her subsequent fifth in Cheshire Oaks and she's worth another chance to get back on the up.

Form: 15

(7)

Almuhit^b⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden

5/1

Brother to Oaks winner Taghrooda who displayed promise when fourth in 8-runner Doncaster maiden (10f) on debut in March. Didn't convince at Newbury (11f) next time though and the blinkers reached for then are retained.

Form: 48

(5)

Easter Icon

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Egan| T: M R Channon

80/1

Sixties Icon colt. Dam, 1½m winner who stayed 16.5f, sister to smart winner up to 1½m Vif Monsieur. Likely best watched on debut.

(4)

Vintage Valley³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: James Doyle| T: A M Balding

16/1

210,000 gns purchase who is bred to stay well and shaped as if his debut experience would bring him on plenty when fifth of 7 in C&D novice in April. In good hands and he's another likely improver.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Our Jester (11/8), Hello Jumeirah (11/4), Nicholas George (7/2), Almuhit (5/1), Game Master (13/2), Vintage Valley (16/1), Tiger Jet (66/1), Easter Icon (80/1), Two Auld Pals (200/1), Nayway (300/1)

An impressive winner on debut at Kempton in April, HELLO JUMEIRAH never figured when fifth in the Cheshire Oaks on her sole start since but had plausible excuses on account of the tricky track/underfoot conditions and she's worth another chance to get back on track returned to calmer waters. Nicholas George and Our Jester are others to consider, along with Game Master.
