(1)

Coco Jack¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: M Harley| T: George Scott

4/1

Better for debut and improved to get off the mark, despite not yet looking the finished article, in 6f Hamilton novice a fortnight ago. More needed again up in trip under a penalty but not discounted.

Form: 51

Chillhi

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison

20/1

Foaled April 30. €14,000 yearling, 20,000 gns 2-y-o, Churchill colt. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful winner up to 7f Bayleyf and winner up to 1m Hard Yards. Dam maiden (stayed 8.6f).

Dornoch Castle

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: C & M Johnston

3/1

Foaled February 27. €30,000 yearling, Gleneagles colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 1m winner Claim The Crown and 9.6f winner Vera Verto. Yard's newcomers have been showing up well and he's got to be of firm interest.

Indiana Be¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: E Bethell

2/1

27,000 gns yearling, Sioux Nation colt from useful family. Gambled on and shaped well when second in 18-runner 6f Thirsk maiden on debut last month, staying on well. Sure to improve for longer trip and leading claims.

Form: 2

(3)

Lukla¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: K R Burke

10/1

Backed at long odds and showed a bit behind Indiana Be on debut at Thirsk (6f). Should progress.

Form: 0

Machito²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Ross Coakley| T: H Palmer

11/2

Took another step forward when second in 6f Leicester maiden 4 weeks ago. That race has thrown up a few winners but he'll need more if he's to follow suit here.

Form: 252

Forecasts

Indiana Be (2/1), Dornoch Castle (3/1), Coco Jack (4/1), Machito (11/2), Lukla (10/1), Noble Majesty (18/1), Chillhi (20/1), Spioradalta (66/1)

INDIANA BE was gambled on and shaped well on his debut at Thirsk, staying on well for second. He's sure to improve and this longer trip will suit so he's hard to get away from. Dornoch Castle is an interesting newcomer, while Hamilton-winner Coco Jack shouldn't be dismissed.
