Metahorse¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Halpin| T: M L W Bell| BF

7/1

11/8, second of 4 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good) 15 days ago, no match for winner. Has showed fair form both starts to date and no reason why he won't give another good account.

Form: 32

(1)

Shine's Ambition¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray

2/1

Promising individual. 25/1, second of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) on debut 15 days ago, just edged out by one boasting previous experience. Plum draw to work from here and big shout with progress anticipated.

Form: 2

Felix Natalis¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Tom Dascombe

22/1

Twice-raced maiden. 18/1, fifth of 8 in maiden at this course (5.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago, not knocked about. Nurseries may be more his bag moving forward.

Form: 65

Secret Mistral²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 76| D

5/2

Pearl Secret filly who was all the better for debut when off the mark in a Haydock novice (6f) in May. Similar form (despite doing plenty up front) when second back at that venue since and expected to make her presence felt again.

Form: 712

(3)

Boom Boom Pow²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: R M Beckett| BF

85/40

Havana Grey filly who has made a promising start, matching debut form when second of 10 in maiden at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago, not quicken only late on. Winner has boosted that form and she's worth considering.

Form: 22

(6)

Pink Stripes²⁷

Once-raced maiden. Last of 6 in minor event at this C&D (good to firm, 40/1) on debut 27 days ago.

Forecasts

Shine's Ambition (2/1), Boom Boom Pow (85/40), Secret Mistral (5/2), Metahorse (7/1), Tostado (10/1), Felix Natalis (22/1), Pink Stripes (80/1)

SHINE'S AMBITION showed plenty when pulling clear with one that had an experience edge at Newcastle 15 days ago and, with progress anticipated, he's fancied to make a bold bid operating from the plum draw. Boom Boom Pow and Secret Mistral are the lead threats.
